Weblog/journal/rss/feed related content, pages, tools. Thok
Blogs will generally be announced here later.
Frequently Updated
- Trackforward - outbound postings - eichin@thok.org
- RSS for Trackforward - outbound postings - eichin@thok.org
- My Flickr gallery
- My secondary picasaweb
(google) gallery where I store bulk "all the shots from this
event" things, so as not to clutter my "photostream" on flickr.
(Hint: flickr, you need a feature like this :-)
- Twitter
- Publications
- Linked-in
Profile which serves as an excellent zero-maintenance
substitute for a resume - especially since most of the work came
though personal contacts in the first place, not blind resume sending
- StackOverflow
Careers 2.0 is clearly trying to be "LinkedIn 2.0"
and has direct connections with "stuff the cool kids use"
like Github and Google Code.
- New Technical Aggregation
(direct rss feed) based on my
README-blog tool; there's an additional
Python-specific subset
(also with direct rss feed)
which focusses on python-language projects.
- My LiveJournal
which is carrying much of my technical content, pending
improvement of my local blog tools
- My former Blogspot blog is now
just another THOK.ORG blog section
after I concluded that other people's tools were interesting but not for me, and that
self-hosted MarkDown was
the way, the truth, and the light :-)
- GitHub in order to do
lazy sharing of a project or two, without figuring out how to
publish directly from here. (Turns out I already have
a Gitorious
account, too, but without features like "fork this", gitorious doesn't get
nearly as much interesting activity.)
- Codes Well With Others
serves both as a place to rant about development style and as
a tool to encourage me to more actively use many of the
toolkits I spend so much time reading about...
- No, Mr. Bond,
I expect you to fund my kickstarter was inspired by a
couple of friends sharing pointers to interesting kickstarter
projects, though it's a broader gadget blog vaguely related to
my old "gadget lust" feed...
- KickStarter
itself has been a fine source of cutting-edge gadgets over the last year...
- Stack
Overflow started turning up in enough google hits that I
signed up, and answered a few obscure X11 and Python
questions.
- Random Badges
- Reddit
comments which are also in the trackforward feed above
- FriendFeed which
doesn't have anything that isn't on this page, it just glues it
together chronologically.
- Google
Profile which is almost as circular as FriendFeed is
- LibraryThing
which only has a couple of shelves so far, but should soon
become my main reference, with ISBNs mirrored to Google "My
Library" for search. Note: lack of a live-entry API means
this never got much further.
- GoodReads
which I bootstrapped with a 2012 LibraryThing export and the most
recent ASINs from my kindle backups, so it's still sparse but
not bad for recent stuff and "live" recommendations.
- Google
Scholar profile; most of it is "With Microscope and
Tweezers", a little bit of Zephyr work, and a pile of
Arepa-derived patents related to "software on demand", back
when cable internet was a cool new thing.
Rarely Updated
- Facebook
since everyone else at a recent reunion was already there...
- Technicalities,
my former MIT blog -
low traffic because it's a weak implementation
(in terms of features, not just because it uses ASP.NET) and
because a Safari bug gets in the way of posting. (Too bad it
has the good name...) blogs.mit.edu appears to have
burned down.
- Wordpress placeholder so I can authenticate in order to comment on other wordpress blogs.
Playing with Dave Winer's OPML tool, I've got a
temporary OPML blog
set up, mostly with bug reports about the tool
blogs.opml.org is also gone,
though dev.opml.org has
plenty of tech and standards docs.- My del.icio.us link
bucket
- My GigaPan
gigapixel panorama gallery. I still have the 1st-gen hardware,
it's just very tedious to use - and things like the Sony
DSC-HX1 "sweep panorama" mode should be able to outdo it soon.
