OK...two down, one to go. Finally got blog#2 running on a sister site: the telecomportal blog. After many hours of changes, I finally did what I should have in the first place - ftp'd the whole directory onto the host server. The power of blogs is clearly enhanced with rss, as I've learned. I don't feel any more ignorant about this than I do about how to complete Halo in Legendary mode.
Well, I said two down and one to go. That brings up my new love - my powerbook (in the desk sweet spot...like buzz lightyear taking woddy's spot)
. It does almost everything well: music, photos, movies, desktop applications, wifi, bluetooth, writing to DVD/CD-R. My all time favorite...if only it could work on a 1XRTT network. But alas, no vendor has made a driver for the the PCMCIA cards that are used with the service. Verizon uses the Sierra card. After complaining to several people about this, I quickly got good news. first, a friend at QC told me that the new Sony/Ericsson phone would bluetooth to the mac and 1XRTT to the network...I just have to wait. then another friend sent me this link with a similar story. Now I just have to wait.
With a half a dozen PCs network in the home I was not really planning on adding another Mac (my wife the graphic artist would use nothing else). It was not a switch ala the famous Ellen Fiess, But I love the idea of home movies on DVD. Anybody who has suffered through watching somebody else's home movie nows the "just wait...the good part is coming up...hang on..I thought it was here...it's really funny. wait.." while the host madly fast forward's through the tape. Clearly the random access of DVD's solves that problem. But after buying Pinaccle software (and others) I was FRUSTRATED...I'm tired of going to message boards to get PC software to work. iLife worked right out of the box and did exactly what I wanted. For once a happy ending..to a chapter.
The next chapter is iBlog, which will be the third and final blog in the trilogy. Well, the blog will. The software may turn out to be something like Ranchero Software, which looks better.
