\nToday I would like to get micro.blog and Drummer connected. Shouldn’t be too difficult since Manton published an excellent how-to guide.
\nI also want to add a publish button to the Drummer sidebar.
\nAs a creative project I’m incredibly proud of Hemispheric Views. I want to grow its audience because I’m convinced it’s better than 90% of the podcasts out there.
\nIs this a bug? I wake up this morning to discover all the additional OPML Headers I added to Drummer last night are no longer there.
\nOkay, so now I've restored most of the intent, if not the original content, of what I had last night. Now I need to make sure I download a local backup — and make that process part of my regular Drummer routine.
\nFastmail has been hit with a major outage/DDoS attack today. I feel sorry for them. Why do people have to do this sort of thing to good services? I know... money. It's always money.
\nI have spent an hour playing around with Amazon S3, Dave Winer's Public Folder app and Drummer in an effort to create an online storage environment for hosted images. Until I got stuck, and took a minute to ask myself what I was doing? I don't want to become a sysadmin at that level. It will make me crazy. So I've stopped.
\nAnd now my Drummer blog has been hit with the timezone bug. Definitely US-centric design at the moment.
