This actually happened a while ago. Became official right before AMVIV.
Our own Michael B, head plumber at donburnside.com, got a promotion to Chief Petty Officer.
Congrats Michael!
In an attempt to keep closer, tighter (better, stronger, faster) control over my content, I’m sure you have already noticed a few changes to the sites. Particularly the lack of comments. The lack of comments will continue here, here and here until I decide otherwise.
That doesn’t mean you can’t criticize my work or provide feedback. On any of the items I post you are more than welcome to scrape, grab, hotlink or download any of it and post it to your site. Or link back to my stuff. Or, and this is new, friend me up at Facebook.
I have setup a new FriendFeed account and have linked up only the sites that don’t have comments (including the tumblr). I have also activated the FriendFeed app on Facebook so everything I post will go right into my news feed.
I think for now this is a pretty good solution. Of course, if you would like to add your 2-bits, go right ahead.
UPDATE: If you are a facebook user, you can login using the button on the right to post a comment as well.
If you are reading this, then I’m on my way to Las Vegas for A MINI Vacation in Vegas! For those of you that don’t keep up with my work over on the MINI side, AMVIV is one of the largest MINI Cooper gatherings in the United States, taking place for the last few years at Palace Station.
If you would like to keep up, follow along at White Roof Radio. Everything will be getting posted there and at Motoringfile.
Something new this year will be the introduction of a live show (Saturday, around noon PST. Check your local listings) and a real video component. I will be taking the The Flip and the Canon. Flip video stuff you should be seeing over the weekend. Canon Video stuff will be showing up at Whiteroof.tv next week.
Have a good weekend y’all!
You might remember my Facebook Connect how-to that I posted back in January. I got a request about how to modify the widget in the shape of a comment, but I deleted by mistake. I did reply via email and thought I would add it here for wiki purposes.
From Archchef at casualgaminformer.com comes this question.
Is there a way to disable the “Last visitors” section in the widget? I don’t exactly want nor need it but can’t find any way of killing the darn thing
This one is very easy. To remove the part of the widget you don’t want to see, open fbconnect_widget.php and scroll down to line 31, or there about. There are 2 lines below that, remove them, save and upload. You should be good to go. If you want the code, leave a comment below and I’ll hook you up.
I know the plugin still isn’t 100% here. I hope to have that fixed before I go to Vegas this coming weekend.
Playing with a few things, changing a few things, updating a few things.
A couple of new apps this week. The first I heard about on Mac Break Weekly called Shape Collage. You can read the write up at dbmini. I know I know, I don’t normally post software reviews there, but most of the readers carry camera and they still out-number you 2:1.
Second app I’m playing with is called DoubleTwist. It’s an app for getting media to your device of any shape (mp3 players, phones, game consoles) and for sharing with your friends. I don’t see a real need for this on the ATP, but if you have anything else that holds media, it might be worth checking out. Full write-up to follow after I play with it some more.
Oh yea, both of these run on Windows and Mac. So go nuts.
