Blogging keeps creeping into the mainstream press (well, yes, it starts out talking about Code Red, but then it gets into blogs.) Standard explanatory fare. Nicely enthusiastic.
Well it's finally raining and I swear it is getting more humid.
Lately I've been noticing that the features we have built into this weblogging system (private/public pages, subscriptions w/ email notification, auto-archiving) almost make it suitable as a mailing list and mailing list archive system. All I really have to do is connect each page with a specific mail account (maybe this page would be connected to jim.weblog@digitalmediatree.com) and write some scirpts to glue it together. I think that could be cool if done right. Not very hard to write, but pretty hard to think of the best way to do it.
New 49 Clinton photos start here.
Blogger API. This is interesting. If there was any reason to we could now wire this system into blogger so that when you make a post here it could also (or optionally) send the post to a blogger account (and optionally publish it to the blogger page located somewhere else on the web.) I can't think of why we would do this, but it's early and I haven't even had coffee yet, so give me some time.
In any case, it's cool that he is doing this.
49 Clinton is really coming together. What fun to watch. We had to take some pictures of the place to send to the SLA (State Liquor Authority) as a last phase before they issue the liquor license (it's been granted but not issued.) This forced things to come together very fast. I'll try to get some of the pictures up later today. Basically the whole place is done. That's not to say that everyone won't be working 12 hours a day (like they've been doing) from now through the weekend, because I know they will be, and there's always "one more thing" to get done. But people walking by no longer look at you like you are out of your mind when you say you are opening in a week. It seems reasonable now. MB and B have really done a great job.
Now if only the Italians would ship that marble...
Hopefully we can have August 16 YAT at the new place.
Very good, long, thoughtful essay on intellectual property ethics. Highly recommended.
Spent all day yesterday working on music mixes for the new restaurant. This is a lot of fun, but takes quite a bit of time. Spent over 8 hours yesterday to make less then 3 hours of music. I'll be back at it today.
I've been using the new mozilla 0.9.3 for a few hours today. I think it's finally good enough.
