  • Gnomedex and Events

    Since I started at b5media back in October, I truly am experiencing a completely different way of living my life. I mean, I work from wherever I want to, I keep the hours I want to, and I interact with people that are so anti-corporate. More of my life revolves around entrepreneurs and not cube…

  • Podcast: Rick Klau of FeedBurner

    This past week, I had the chance to sit down with Rick Klau, Vice President of Publisher Services at FeedBurner. It was a fun interview and he answered some of your questions. Show Notes: 1:00 Introduction of Rick Klau 2:02 I’m getting better at podcasting, especially with SuicideFan.com 2:40 Rick and Aaron talk football and…

  • BlogNetworkCamp Update

    Last week, I mentioned that b5media is cohosting BlogNetworkCamp at SXSW. A little update on this – the original time we had setup had several conflicts that needed to be addressed. We have talked to the other participants (9rules refuses to respond to our emails, oh well) and set the time for 5pm on Sunday…

  • WordPress Breach, not Flaw

    Just a clarification on today’s WordPress security breach – I’m getting quite a few emails asking me what it’s all about and still yet, I’m reading lots of inaccurate recaps from bloggers (such as this one) around the net. Let me be clear – this is not a security flaw. This is a security breach.…

  • My Calendar Mashup

    Here’s a mashup I just instituted here at Technosailor after some months of trying to figure out how to do it. First, the premise though. I keep everything calendar related in iCal on my Mac. That is my point of origin and that is non-negotiable. I also need to have my stuff on my Blackberry…

  • Poll: Job Searching

    It strikes me, six months after I started my job with b5media, that I still have all the email notifications come to inbox as I did before. It also strikes me that, while I glance at them all, I don’t really look very closely anymore. I’m curious what your feelings are on job searches. At…

  • Gaming Digg: Is it a Game When the Money Isn't Monopoly Money?

    The term ‘gaming Digg’ comes from the idea that the system is a flawed system that is easily exploited for the benefit of those who know how. It’s Survivor. Outplay. Outwit. Outlast. The drug trade on the street is called ‘the game’. The political process is called ‘the game’. The problem is, when real money…

  • Feed Issues

    Excuse the feed refreshes/wonkiness you may have seen here at Technosailor in the past 2 hours. I had to nail down an issue that was affecting HTML being stripped from feeds. It’s all resolved now. Carry on as you were. Anyone who is curious the culprit? PodPress 7.3 was stripping tags a little too aggressively…
