It was love at first site when I saw the nixie tubes on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog. I ordered a clock immediately.
I still need to find the perfect place in the office to show off its warm glow and cross-fading numerals to everyone; until then I'll just have to keep it here on my desk, hypnotizing me...
O'Reilly is hosting another "Tools of Change for Publishing" conference, this time in New York, February 11-13, 2008.
I enjoyed the conference last year, and was flattered to be invited back to reprise my presentation "Business Models that Guarantee Profitability". If you're interested in the future of publishing, TOC is the place to be. I just wish I wasn't presenting at the same time as Seth Godin; it's hard to run back and forth between two breakouts when you're the one up front...
I'd never used any of the blog-posting software tools because they never seemed to work with our corporate blog configuration. I assumed there was something wrong with our multi-blog setup, so I didn't spend much time on the problem.
Then I met Joe, from the Windows Live Writer team, and found out that when you enter your account details, you need to provide the Movable Type API Password, not the password you use to login via the browser. It had never occurred to me that there'd be a different password.
So one more obstacle to frequent blogging is removed; only laziness remains!
