We played a little D&D over the weekend. It was fun. I wish we could play a little more often, but I’m glad I at least get out this much.
The past couple of days have brought to light a need to get the heck out of this house on a more regular basis. Perhaps I should join some kind of club or something. Bowling or something. Full-contact frisbee.
The people at the Habari Project have recently released version 0.4 of Habari. If you don’t usually read my blog, then you might not know that I help write this software and that the software is what runs this site.
Following up on the 0.4 release, I wrote a kind of “manifesto” for what we need to accomplish for Habari 0.5, and then I read the whole thing into the computer so that you could just listen to it. Lucky you, fun for me. Enjoy.
I was just poking around looking at some domains today, and checked in on the .com version of this site. I know it’s been squatted on for some time, and I’m always shocked at how much money they’re asking for it. Who else is going to want that domain but me, and who do they really expect is going to pay $7088 for it? That’s crazy.
Is there no way we can fairly determine who is squatting on a domain and make them stop? There’s this whole (I’ll call it) black market of people selling domains that they’re not going to use for anything except to extort money from people who could put them to good use. Apart from BuyDomains.com, there’s that awful site Sedo.com, that encourages regular people to do the same thing. It’s horrible. I have a very low opinion of people that make money this way.
Should I start a podcast about blogging issues? Wanna be a guest on the show?
Not exclusively “how to blog” or “make money blogging” or “build your corporate identity with a blog”, but real discussions about issues in blogging today with people who actually publish blogs, not just pundits.
