Latest Updates RSS

  From now on, this blog will no longer be updated. I’ve set up shop at nilsgeylen.com and the new blog there resides under the subfolder /blog

  nilsgeylen.com/blog

  Hence also the new blog’s tentative title: dotcomslashblog. The creativity!

  Most functionality is in place; bear with me as I trod along trying to make things work and/or look good.

  Should you update any feeds?

  The short answer: yes, that would be best. Here it is.

  The long answer: you certainly should if you’re subscribed to the wordpress.com feed

  http://nodependenciesnologo.wordpress.com/feed

  I’ll double-post for a while, but that feed will soon be phased out.

  You could also switch if you’re subscribed to the FeedBurner feed

  http://feeds.feedburner.com/ndnl

  I’ve already redirected that one to syndicate content from the new domain, but it’d be stupid to stay with that. That one too may be deleted at a certain time. My apologies if one or the other pops up twice in your reader.

  Then again: most people already ‘grab’ their stuff from ‘the cloud’ – getting their content here and there, from Twitter or Friendfeed – without sticking to silly outdated things like RSS.

  And to think we were convinced we’d be able to keep up.

  So, in any case, head on over to the new address and subscribe – if you like. Using your browser will subscribe you to

  http://nilsgeylen.com/blog/feed

  whereas using the feed icon will subscribe you to the new feedburner feed

  http://feeds.feedburner.com/dotcomslashblog

  If all that makes sense.

  What should you expect?

  Nothing – that always works out to your advantage. Let’s just say I intend to post more, but also ‘more seriously’. The terms ‘grown-up’ and ‘higher quality’ sprang to mind.

  Incidentally, that is also why the blog is in a folder, not in the root: I tend to think that blogs are on their way out and the main domain will reflect that broader choice of new, more appropriate services and modes of communicating. But as it says on the home page, more about that soon.

  If you don’t like serious, there’s also a stream and a tlog. The former self-hosted on Sweetcron, the latter still over at Tumblr – for now.

  Oh, and a hat-tip to my mate Allen from Sustainable Hosting, who’s made this switch a cinch.

  I’m testing out Prologue, a new theme from WordPress. What better than to try it out here on Tumbles, my very first tumblelog back in 2006. Not sure how it’ll work out.

  Today, I’ve been at my flat for precisely one year.

  The longest I’ve lived somewhere (except for my childhood home – and even then…) was four years. The shortest zero days.

  Here’s a funny thing. Not knowing what to play the other day, I simply selected my entire library, inverted the selection for good fun and clicked play. It’s an interesting way of discovering a few of the forgotten gems I have or picking out the odd piece of junk I should actually delete.

  It was announced today that a new music download portal will offer music for free. Apparently, SpiralFrog, will be supported by adverts and it is backed by Vivendi Universal.

  Surely, there will be some catch? A Digital Entertainment Destination is the site’s tagline and that, on the other hand, suggests that it’s not only going to be music that’s on offer.

  Previously, I had my GF tie my bow-ties for me. It figures, that these days, my single self hasn’t worn one for a long time. I got sick of that and tried doing it up myself once more. There are plenty of tutorials available online but it takes a while until you see one that works for you and that you understand. So, I tried and tried and finally succeeded. It’s actully quite easy once you get the knack of it.

  1. No, there will be no comments.

  2. When I come back to blogging, I DO come back to blogging. I have several posts waiting in line now and I’d publish them all today. I don’t, coz that would be stupid.

  3. When I come back to feed reading, I DO come back to feed reading. I had about 2,000 or so that had amassed over the summer. While I was trashing my trash bin, I thought I’d better lose some subscribtions… Today, I added about 10 new ones. That is so not the way to go.

  4. When I come back to the web, I DO come back to the web. I’ve joined a new group on Last.fm, I’m scavenging the 9rules notes and forums, and so much more. I should not do this.

  But that’s me. The highest highs and the lowest lows. Amen.

  I see a lot of posts popping up about summer reading, and challenges being attached to them. ‘Read 28 books during the summer’, ‘28? That’s nothing, I read more than that in a week!’

  “Hey, dude, what’s up?”

  “I read 50 books last week.”

  “Minor league, man. I read 70 books yesterday and made a profit!”

  Hello?

  Definitely not the way to go, posting this, but I couldn’t resist ;-)
