(Anti) Social-Lists 9/13/09

I am still trying to get back on track after my vacation – it was poor planning to make my first day back at work the same day that school started. I hope to get my article posting schedule back on track next week. I’m a little amazed that people are still visiting and leaving comments.

This week I have some WordPress info, a lifestreaming theme, and some cheese.

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you will have read some good comedy about my recent attempts at dating. Let me know if you would like me to write an article about it ;-)

5 Unpopular (Anti) Social Articles

Mr. Magoo in Hi-Fi (by kevindooley)

The first couple of months that I had this site I only had one visitor. Well, only one that I knew of. So many of my articles went unloved and unread.

It’s not that the articles are SO bad. Well, maybe just a little – my writing has definitely improved. It’s just that no one knew they existed. They were out there all alone floating about the Internet.

Since I’ve been highlighting articles from the past, such as 5 WordPress articles and 5 Twitter articles, I decided to showcase 5 unpopular articles. Maybe they will find a little love now.

I should note that my criteria for selecting articles were ones with no comments. It’s entirely possible that they were wildly popular and that the readers were so stunned by my brilliance that they were unable to comment.

Sweetcron – A Self Hosted Lifestream

Yesterday Yong Fook released Sweetcron, the much anticipated self hosted lifestream.

By self hosted, I mean that you have to have access to your own server or webhost that is running PHP and MySQL. If you have ever installed WordPress, you can install Sweetcron. The only part that is a little more complicated was that the .htaccess file included with the installation needs to be edited if you aren’t installing Sweetcron at the root level of your server. Lооkіng fоr thе bеѕt Dedicated Servers in LA? Lооk nо furthеr thаn SеrvеrMаnіа’ѕ Lоѕ Angeles dаtа сеntеr. In other words, if you install Sweetcron in a subdirectory called ‘lifestream’, you will need to edit this folder. On my first attempt, I did not edit the .htaccess file correctly and Sweetcron would not load. This problem, however, was quickly resolved.

What is nice about it being self hosted is that all of the feed data is stored in a database creating a lifestream archive for you. With some programming knowledge you can also be more creative and pull the data to your lifestream in unique ways.

The installation instructions are adequate and are available on the Sweetcron google code wiki so I’m not going to repeat them.
