Happy Birthday Scripting News

Arguably the long-running weblog in the World, Dave Winer’s Scripting News turns 10 years old today.

Happy Birthday! Keep diggin’. And Thanks Dave.

Two years ago today, I was sat with Dave in a bar in New York, drinking coffee and doing a podcast. Two years! Wow. How time flies!

It’s also Frontier‘s 19th Birthday too, btw.

Viva Las Vegas! CES here I come!!

Lock up your gadgets!!!! Kosso is coming to Las Vegas!!! :)

I should be leaving home here in about 9 hours then off over the Atlantic andf the USA to Las Vegas for CES 2007! Hurrah! Last time I went there is was 2005. We had different gadgets and new ones which had promise which held truee till now. Here’s pic of my packing last time, when I went on behalf of the BBC ;) Here’s the moblog I did from there last time!

I have been working on an upgrade to the camoby concept for stuff to do with podcast.com and bloghud.com  – It’s working nicely so far and I plan to use it to create a feed of text, images, aufio or video while at the show and around about.

This year, CES will be all about the CONTENT which can get on the gadget I saw a couple of years ago – as well as the new ones.  ;) I cant wait to see everyone again! And I do like a bit of BlackJack!
I’ll let you know the feed when I have it all set up finally. I’m still building it! :)

I am taking a little less with me, as now I have a better system written ;) I’ll tell you all about it when I get there ;)

This, tied with the other stuff I have been cooking on the podcast.com upgrade will be very nice indeed, if I do say so myself. Different. Useful (hopefully), fun and informative.

See you on the other side!! :)

mymoblog, hismoblog, mybloghud, etc, etc

THEIR APIS!

It’s funny seeing Dave’s mymoblog.wordpress.com posts.  The early posts look just like my bloghud.wordpress.com or bloghud.blogspot.com accounts ;)

We developers like to talk to ourselves while testing (move long – nothing to see here ;)

What other free blogging systems should I support? All of them. Including the pay ones. But if those people who run pay blogging systems (6apart etc.) want support, I’ll need a free acount (dev account) please. Thank you.

You know it’s worth it ;)

My first interview about the BlogHUD for IN THE GRID magazine

Last night, an avatar called Miller Copeland came over to ‘The RSS Platform‘ on Second Life to interview me about the blogHUD for his new magazine about Second Life called IN THE GRID!

We had a great long chat about stuff, which you can read over here.

Miller has been a publishing industry veteran for 15 years, so it will be really interesting to see how this new publication comes together.

Thanks man!!(or woman?!?) lol.

Tech Trends

According to Google Trends (an interesting site I had forgotten about until Dave Winer just linked to it), Podcasting is just as popular as Blogging ;) (But blogging has been around for longer)

Also, RSS is way more popular than ATOM. (It’s easier imho)

blogHUD coverage!

Woo! While my back has been turned away from my blogHUD system, which lets people post blog posts and publish rss feeds to bloghud.com, I found these articles on it. Cool! And thanks! :)
Wonderland: Social software for managing Second Lives

Social Sim: Two thumbs up for the BlogHUD

Second Life Insider: BlogHUD : SLI Bloggers say ‘We’re Doomed’

Also, just to say that I’m very close to having a version which posts to any WordPress blog soon – and possibly blogger/blogspot if I get the time to do the extra code.
