Scary Monsters, Super Creeps
(or, ReBoot Phase 2: Booting Blogger)

November 12, 2006 by krisis

In the midst of my rebooting myself and surfing the many blogs of NaBloPoMo i have had brought into very sharp contrast some things i have been long hoping to change about my darling blog. So, in a feat of either bravery or stupidity and after an uncharacteristically short 24-hours of research i will be attempting to – as the saying goes – change horses mid-race.

Either it will work wonderfully and I’ll be back tonight with a completely different website and a new post, or i will destroy all 2,885 posts of Crushing Krisis and update by hand for the rest of the event. Because missing a day is not an option.

Please note that if you are reading this post via a RSS Feed or LiveJournal Syndication you may wish to pop over to the actual domain on Monday to see if it still exists.

Wish me luck.

Mmm, Zeitgeist

January 11, 2006 by krisis

As someone who has been doing this for more than half a decade, the only thing that amazes me more than the utter ubiquity of blogging is the utter proliferation of blogging trends and tools.

A newer trend in blogging (at least to me, anyhow) is the use of a blog to assemble a well researched academic text. There are two excellent examples i’ve been keeping up with daily. The first, The Long Tail, is (in short) about the 80/20 rule, based on a Wired Article i very much enjoyed. On the second, The Music of Rufus Wainwright, composer and professor Roger Bourland invites discussion of topics ranging from form and phrase structure to the challenges of accurate transcription – all from his forthcoming book examining Rufus’s music in a classical light.

In the tools category, Blogger now fluently accepts phone-posts directly from your cell with no setup required. You simply email a text message or picture mail from your phone to [email protected] – blogger sets up a randomly named blogspot page to receive your messages (identified via your phone # and/or phone email) until you claim it and (potentially) assign further messages to another blog. As you’ve seen from my recent posts, it can even upload your pictures via FTP. Read more at Go Blogger. Currently supports posts from Verizon, AT&T, Cingular, Sprint, or T-Mobile.

In a blogging world of academic tomes and phone posts and the dreaded LJ-meets-Facebook bohemeth that is Myspace it boggles my mind to think that five years ago i was the only boy on the internet singing songs specifically to be published on my blog.

Issues, Problems, &Concerns

November 2, 2004 by krisis

Sorry for all the confusion as of late; the site was replaced with a splash page for some of last week and then disappeared entirely for a day this weekend as i migrated DNS servers, Blogger’s post-by-email feature seems to be on a two-day lag, and its phone-posts are coming out as garbled remixes.

I’m taking the day off on Friday to fix, amend, redesign, and get all of my internet life back in order (and maybe finish a Trio). Hang in there.

Senior Project First draft is nearing completion. Ironically, i loaded Blogger.com to see if they were featuring any current articles i could cite in my project only to discover their first complete redesign in Blogger history.

It is terrible. The new Blogger.com interface is completely AOL-ized in its rounded-corner graphics and utter uselessness to the established user. What amuses me the most about this is that, in writing the academic portion of my project, it became increasingly apparent that Blogger’s ubiquity was the main reason it could compete with the simpler and more communal Live Journal and the the more complex high-end Moveable Type. This new template capitalizes on moving towards the LJ model of compartmentalized simplicity rather than the MT one of specified power, and i think it signals the death-knell of serious bloggers using the Blogger service to do anything.


I wouldn’t be surprised to see a mass-exodus of big names in coming weeks. It seems as though Alison agrees.

Questioning My RSS

April 22, 2004 by krisis

I am attempting to learn more about the intricacies of RSS, as Philly Future has picked up the feed that i created as a lark. However, for the moment forget intricacy … this is a Blogger.com nuts’n’bolts question.

My RSS feed currently publishes hyperlinks to where Bloggers thinks my posts live (example [Ed Note: This example no longer works]), but in reality they ought to point to the posts’ home in the archive, where my permalinks point (example [Ed. Note: This example no longer works]). I cannot find anywhere in Blogger’s settings to alter this code. Can it be done? Any helpful comments are greatly appreciated.

In fact, if any knowledgeable bloggers out there would like to point me to your daily neighborhood RSS faq, that would score you major bonus points.
