Yahoo Pipes

zenandjuice — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:49:29 +0000

I started playing around with Yahoo Pipes earlier, because I wanted to merge both of my blog feeds into one so that it could be imported into my facebook account (which only allows one external rss feed to be imported into Notes).

So far, it works really well.

I imported the feeds for my two blogs: http://zenandjuice.com and http://zenandjuicephotos.com

into one single rss feed.

Posting via Word 2007

zenandjuice — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 05:57:31 +0000

I just discovered that Microsoft Word 2007 has the ability to publish to blogs.

That’s pretty cool.

http://skattertech.com/2007/02/word-07-supports-wordpress/ has instructions on how to set this up.

Just trying it out for the first time now.

[Man, the code is CLEAN]

microsoft live writer test

i’m trying out Microsoft’s Live Writer application.

Windows Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose compelling blog posts using Windows Live Spaces or your current blog service.

Blogging has turned the web into a two-way communications medium. Our goal in creating Writer is to help make blogging more powerful, intuitive, and fun for everyone.

modifying some of the livepress code…working in conjunction with Adam O to get some things straightened out… hopefully this will post.

and yet even more cross-posting

zenandjuice — Mon, 04 Jul 2005 06:40:42 +0000

so, entries on my primary blog (http://zenandjuice.com/) gets cross-posted to http://blog.myspace.com/zenandjuice (My Space), http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=zenandjuice (Xanga), and http://www.livejournal.com/users/zenandjuice/ (LiveJournal).

My evening’s geek-fest is now complete !

xanga crosspost test

zenandjuice — Mon, 04 Jul 2005 06:37:38 +0000

in theory, this will crosspost over to my xanga site as well

even more crossposting

zenandjuice — Mon, 04 Jul 2005 06:13:55 +0000

now I have my blog cross-posting to both LiveJournal and MySpace (using http://www.thenullpointer.net/wordpress/scripts/myspacepress).

Rock and roll.

server sluggishness / rewrites

zenandjuice — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 15:21:34 +0000

i’ve been noticing a major amount of sluggishness on the domains that I host on my webserver recently.

finally tracked down some of the problems – linking to images on my site from places all over the internet. apparently people loooooove to put them in their sigs on forums and such.

so i starting playing with the apache mod_rewrite command and only allow referers (apache misspelling) from zenandjuice.com and livejournal.com since that’s where I intend my blog images to be seen.

so far, I haven’t implemented it site-wide (just in specific image folders), but I’m keeping a real-time watch on my log files to see how much stuff is stolen from elsewhere on my site.

those that do link to my images get redirected to this graphic:
