Can someone please explian what just happened? Actually, I think it looks nice. Still needs some tweaking, but it’s getting late. It was time for a change. Whatever is coming next has begun.

Safari 4 beta…
sucks! Slow as molasses. I think it’s time to migrate to FireFox. Their last stable release seems like greased lightning compared to this. Either that, or dumb down to one of the stable Safari releases.
Update – you can’t revert Safari to older versions. Lovely. Looks like I’m now a Firefox guy by default. Thanks, Apple, I didn’t want to make that decision for myself anyway!
You can even write offline
I’m underground on a subway car right now. Cool!
Falling more deeply in love with WordPress
Now I can update this blog from iPhone/iPod Touch. How cool is that?
Am I A Stud, Or What?
I just upgraded WordPress without losing any content or design (such as it is). I’m about a year late with getting to this, but it seems to have gone OK. Good for me.
I Don’t Know What To Say
I’m so happy with Blogerantz that I’m worried I may be starting to neglect the home of it all – good ol’ mpomy.com. Anyway, Vito would tell me that I’m never at a loss for words, whether they have any meaning and intelligence behind them or not.
Blogerantz is back in action
My very own music blog! I’ve got to do a major re-design and work on the links and template of both sites, but there are two concerts up there and many more where that came from. The key is packing the folder in a zip archive. That way it’s only one link per show, as opposed to one link per song. This is more fun than Facebook!
Could Blogerantz find new life… as a ‘music blog’??
If you look at Dr Fusion and T.U.B.E., each makes reference to a multitude of other ‘music blogs’. Many of them are through Google/Blogger (as is Blogerantz) and the have a pretty uniform, no-nonsense design. As I look at the archive spreadsheet – disc inventory – I wonder if I could put a version of that list online, as an Excel doc, where you could tidily scroll through? I’m picturing a facebook-esq widget or something. I’m sure it could be easily done.
The more important question is, then what? Is everything going to get loaded onto Mpomy.com, as well as going to DVD archive, iPod and iTunes Library? I don’t imagine that there’s that much call for everything on that growing list – not because it’s not good music, but because there simply aren’t that many people passing through Mpomy land. I’d like to keep it that way.
So the plan would be to have some fancy widget or other method to synchronize data entry on Excel with publishing on mpomy.com. I simply refuse to believe that task will prove difficult. The next fun thing is to get into other Excel tools to hide certain selections. Even though the list will only be seen by those with knowledge of mpomy-world, I want to treat the appearance as if the thing were open to the public. The idea, then, is make a permanent link to blogerantz from mpomy, and then to use data entry on Excel to update the mpomy page. If someone makes a request for a certain item, then it would be become ‘available’ (as mp3 only) on blogerantz (via RapidSHare?).
Fun with Excel. I can hardly wait.
Music Page update – Weather Report
Just added some of the Ster’s classic Weather Report to the Music page, under live stuff about 1/2 way down the page. I had to change some of the file names, so the old links at the ‘Prog Listening Group’ won’t work anymore – sorry! Just use the Music page, and everything will be fine.
Hello there
Just checking in. Need to do a few things with the music page. Watch for more available downloads and more tunes on the streaming jukebox.
