right on bro!

Okay, so I’ve got the mobile weblog up and running again. I have to come up with a better name than mobile weblog - any ideas? Moblog is such a stupid term, and camera phone weblog is too long.

So yesterday I learned how to set up RSS feeds using zfeeder. If you’ve noticed the “Deal of the Day” thing on the right side of this page - it’s coming from woot.com. I don’t make any money off of the click-throughs or anything like that, I just like their site. Their deal is - they sell one product per day at some ridiculously low price, until it’s sold out, and then they sell another one the next day. Such a simple, brilliant idea, and it’s become quite the viral hit on the ‘net. So the thing on my site basically displays whatever woot.com has on sale that day.

I’m open to putting together syndication pages if anyone wants. Off the top of my head, it could contain an aggregation of the latest updates from all of our sites, plus headlines from Yahoo! News or something like that. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you want to see.

Other than that, spent yesterday chilling. I finished translating the new layout to the rest of rightonbro.com and re-jeetered the search function to work better and display old comments in old posts. Answered a bunch more emails, and have been getting in touch with old friends. Sent off some old film rolls that I never got developed because it kept slipping my mind because I had too much crap going on at work. I’m using Snapfish for this for the first time - we’ll see how it goes. Finished disc 2 of Alias first season last night. They do a real good job of setting up cliffhangers between weekly episodes, but since I have the DVD, that tension has been cut from one week to about 30 seconds. I win, you bastards.
