checkin’ in
…in which we spend our time upgrading tools rather than our content. Well, it’s been a month of web stats and we remain a sleepy little site, a largely undiscovered country. After downloading a few web tools, including Google’s, and submitting sitemaps for crawling, we can see that we’re…well, crawled, but hardly popular. That’s OK. […]
a minor update
…in which we make a few minor corrections and add a bibliography. Well, books are still good and we’ve returned to the library to check a few of our previously posted “facts.” That doesn’t mean we’re about to change the name of the site; it’ll do. But there is now a bibliography and some proper […]
today’s installment
…in which we reflect and thank our visitors. Just musing today, and getting a small update posted. This site reflects a suspicion that many contributors to the world-wide web are simply documenting how our minds work. Generally we do this by writing about what we’re thinking, or interested in, or doing. In some cases it’s […]
wikiGong home…at last
…in which we lose all, yet still snatch victory from the jaws of oblivion. After posting…and reposting…and republishing…and re-exporting, at last we find out what caused the video to hang. Attention RapidWeaver users! Do not add a sidebar picture to a QuickTime movies page. I’ll report this to RealMac at some point. And somehow, while […]
another day, more wonderfulness
…in which the mail does not come. Well, it turns out the contact form edits yesterday were a trifle ham-handed, so if you emailed today — that would be 2009-July-28 — well, it probably got lost. All my fault. Try again if your patience allows…. And we will repost the GG bridge assay #1 one […]
success so far, and errata
…in which we ascertain the site is functional, and slightly flawed. If you haven’t been in on the hours-long conversations, this is the new audio sharing site anchored by the Golden Gate bridge project I’ve been obsessing over. This kind of crept up on me as I thought I’d be playing around with the html […]
launched
…in which we find ourselves embarked. …two…one…ignition… Ladies and gentlemen, we have ignition. The files are uploaded. Let the debugging begin! First, the video seems to have a problem. Not sure what it is or whether it’s only on certain browsers. Could be an MP4 codec issue. Could be lots of things. We’ll try some […]
omg it’s going live
…in which events overtake us in a big way. Uploading files is like hanging in the castle tower waiting for the lightning to strike. File by file, first the video and now the audio files are inching their way ftp-ward. I really hadn’t meant it to get this far already but need to do a […]
site prep and *woah!* Ts & Cs
…in which our webmaster buys a site hosting upgrade. OK, that was scary. We almost had advertising. No free hosting here, no way. The usual caveats about free lunch apply, blah, blah. And navigating the legalese surrounding one’s web hosting agreement is yet another matter. But we have now succeeded in activating those assets purchased […]
wikiGong countdown
…in which we breathe deeply in rapt anticipation. Eight months in the making…or is it twenty years? wikiGong is about to launch…. Back in the Eighties I was a member of one or more of the disintegrating-reintegrating electronic/rock/blues bands — it really was hard to tell how many — that percolated on one particular Midwest […]
