Trumblog

Blogging at 37,000 Feet

This post is made possible by the folks at Virgin America and Go Go Inflight Internet.  I am flying over the heartland of the United States, returning email, IMing, Twittering , surfing the web, posting to Flickr and now blogging.  There are some who will mourn the loss of one more refuge from accessibility, but [...]

WordPress 2.7.1

I just updated to WordPress 2.7.1 and it went swimmingly.  I can see no difference to the display of the site, but the admin offers a lot of new features that are very exciting, auto-updating especially.  Also very gratifying is that none of my existing plugins seem to have any problems with the new version [...]

Commitment to Blogging

Three weeks ago I started a blog post with a description of my luck ending up with an empty seat beside me on the Jet Blue flight to Oakland visiting a client. Since then I’ve been back to SF, traveled to NY for a day, launched a website for this client and saw the world’s [...]

Fixing a Broken Twitter Feed in the Google Reader Lifestream Archive

A week or so ago I noticed that my Twitter feed had stopped updating in in Google Reader and because I use Google Reader as an archive for my Lifestream that meant that new tweets weren’t showing up.  After assuming that this was some sort of Twitter functionality rollback or a mistake that I was [...]

Modified SimpleLife Lifestreaming Plugin

Based on it and some edits and ideas from Db0 I’ve modified the plugin that I am using enough that I thought that I should make it public and therefore add these features [...]

New Look

So I used the long weekend for a little upgrade to the Trumblog and swapped out the theme and cleaned up the blog a bit. It’s nicer than the old look that was looking a little generic and shows a bit more personality. Special thanks to Donna Megquier who had the inspiration to incorporate my [...]

WordPress 2.5 Update Graphic Problem

I updated to WordPress 2.5 on Sunday and it really couldn’t have been easier. Made sure that I had the database backed up, updated the files, updated the database and viola a new interface. All plugins seemed to be working, the site looked the same, admin features were upgraded, I was a happy camper. Yesterday [...]

Blogging About Twittering

Steve Rubel has it right when he says that “If Web 2.0 is like golf, then a blog is a nine iron, while a micro-blog is a putter.” This meme is seems to be taking off and feel like I’m seeing this idea of long and short form blogging a lot now, but then I [...]

First Post

Well, the family is away for the week so I’ve finally done it and created the blog. My goal is to step up and consolidate my web presence and this is a logical step. Now I just have to regularly produce some decent content. Too late to write much more this evening. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fttrumble.com%2Ffirst-post%2F’; [...]
