BRTC Reminder, Playing, Procrastinating & RAM

Man.. how easy is it to get wrapped up playing around? Twitter starts it all off for me... it's just too tempting NOT to click on the links that fellow podcasters and Twitterers post. Take for instance, this little gem, Show Yourself, from Ed. I spent some time "playing with Ed's widget" and conversing with Charles about the how-to of adding it to a Blogger blog. Meanwhile, the homework sits and is beckoning me... I'm home from work, feeling quite under the weather, so actually, I'm still ahead of the game because I normally wouldn't have been able to do it anyway, right? (Yah, Karen, keep trying to convince yourself of that... !)

Just a reminder: Tomorrow is the day to Bum Rush the Charts! Follow the link tomorrow to purchase Black Lab's Mine Again through the affiliate link to help fund college scholarships and drive "one of our own" to the top of the iTunes charts!


On another note: here's a little Twitter brain dump of mine from yesterday...

Realizing that trying to live in this New Media world with my crap computer is like trying to be a master chef with dull knives... 09:37 AM March 20, 2007 from web

I'm happy to report that replacing my 256k of RAM with the maximum allowable 1GB has already made some great impact in "sharpening my knives". I actually took in a Matthew Ebel concert last night in Second Life and could actually not only listen but talk and move without crashing multiple times!! Yippee!! I'm still facing other issues which hinder my ability to wade smoothly through the land of New Media but at least I'm making a dent.

And now... just the act of blogging this has served to fuel my procrastination fire yet again..hehe!

I'm still not happy with my placement of the ShowYourself widget. Does your husband know you're playing with Ed's widget!?!? :D But I'll play more with it later. I'm also thinking about a site re-design and migration. Currently I'm looking for a web host and I'm thinking about either MWS Media or Dreamhost. I've heard good things about both and they're inexpensive. I just hope that they support WP so I don't have to install it. Yuck, all the things you have to do to play in the web 2.0 world. ;)
I'm enjoying your post.

Charles,

I'm looking out for a new host as well, but not only for blogs, mostly for my HUGE Patriots website (www.patriotworld.com) But what I'm hoping is to use "one of the pages" for a WP Blog to migrate this one to, and another Blog page(s) for my shownotes for my podcast(s).

When I first started out, having shownotes on a page on my website was fine but now, Blogs are definitely the way to go with the ability for people to make comments and the whole social media linking aspect..

I've still got so much to learn! It's fun but sometimes I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing... I've always been a "go-for-it!" type and jump right in and learn as I go along.

Karen

ps... I enjoy your posts as well (and podcasts too! :-) )
