augiemania ORLY?

It’s been a little dead here lately as I’ve been extremely busy with work, DAPS (where all my creative energy has been directed towards), and life in general. Here’s a recap:

I went on Vacation with Kristin to Barbados!
I worked A LOT!
DAPS is gaining all sorts of steam.

Wow, I though I’d have more on that list…

Anyway, I’ve baleeted a ton of shit off my server. Namely, my Twitter impostor thing and my infinite loop thing (that never worked). I’ve also cleared house on my facebook account (for an eventual departure/squat), and changed my blog’s theme. No, I didn’t make it. It’s the “Clean Home” theme and I decided to use it as a spring board for my own new cool theme. (Kristin is using this theme too on kristinwithani.com [don't expect many updates there yet]).

I think I’ve just been spending my time recuperating from a horrific work schedule and some bad news about Canada. (See a few posts prior). ugh ok, this is getting depressing. More this weekend, I promise.

I just finished the re-categorization of my content. take a look at the categories and see if any pique your interest!

Today I decided to reorganize augiemania. I was prompted by a problogger post about categories. You most likely notice the categories are new and there are 200-something “uncategorized” posts. I haven’t gotten to those yet. I’ve also been tagging the posts as I go through them, so my “related posts” plug-in works.

I still have to design that, and display tags in my posts.

In case you weren’t aware, my twitter is just a replication of my blog. I figured it would be nice to let ll you twitter folks know as I have seen a “surge” in my followers over the past few weeks.

Stevie and The Lawgiver straight up RULE. They pointed me to this SUPER EASY favicon maker.

so peep the one I made, (incase it isn’t showing up yet.)

with the past few posts, i’ve realized that I need to style my caption tags. I’ll try to get around to it today after work.

also:
wash dishes
sort laundry
clean adolfino’s cage. (take pics)
post other pics.

I made a facebook page for augiemania. If you are on facebook, check it out, and be a fan!

Augiemania on Facebook

On the 27th i’ll be headed to italy untill the 4th of september.

I plan on taking some pics and just relaxing (lord knows i need it).

As far as posting is concerned, i’ll post pics when i get back because i am not bringing my laptop. But i can post cell phone pics and text based posts. Gotta love ipod touch!

Ciao!

UPDATE: I ended up baleeting all my posted items stuff and the feed. Sorry charlie! It’ll be on the DAPS site this week though (hopefully).

Because I post a lot of items on facebook’s “Posted Item” feature.

Some days I find 20 really cool things that I wanna share. I find facebook to be the easiest. (I never got into delicious, digg, or any other bookmarking site.) The personal feel of facebook really allows me to be comfortable sharing my findings. (Which all come from RSS feeds.)

For the past month I have been trying to pull my facebook posted items feed into this site, which is obviously wordpress. I tried a few Plugins, but facebook has a funny feed url or something. FeedWordpress is the one that finally worked.

Today, as stevie and porknbomb pointed out, I had a lot of posts today. BUuuuuuuuut they were mostly all from facebook. (except the cell phone pic, that came from flickr from my phone, and this post.)

I dunno if I like it.

I mean on one hand, it’s more posts, more stuff, more of what I do during my day.

On the other, it feels cheap, it feels rushed, it buries all the vids and pics and stuff i make.

Am I more important than the stuff I take pride in, or is the stuff I take pride in more important than me? Tough question.

I learned a lot about the internet today. I usually put more value in the exchange of information when on the internet. I tend to undervalue the actual person to person communication that really does happen in every exchange of information. Grrrrrrr I’m a robot again.

Yah, I added a facebook badge to the sidebar because despite privacy issues and big brother and all that jazz, I really think facebook is an amazing site.

you can see my posted items feed right underneath it. some really, really interesting stuff in there.
