Camera housing or beer stein?

So, I’ve had http://tumblr.adamweeks.com up and running for about a month now.  In that time I’ve made 23 posts on it.  I’ve made a total of 3 posts here.  Needless to say, I think I’ve found a better medium to share what I enjoy.

I’m still trying to figure out the best way to make the switch.  I’ve got posts going back to October, so I don’t want to just get rid of /blog.

I’d like to get a splash page with links to tumblr, flickr and my (still under construction because I’m too busy actually working to make a ) portfolio.

Oh well, things change, deal with it.

I played around with Yahoo Pipes a few months ago but never really had a project for it, until now. Since I’ve added a tumblr page, now there are 4 different feeds you would have to subscribe to just to keep up to date with me (blog, tumblr, picasa, flickr). Now that’s a project for Pipes, if I could somehow merge those feeds into one “meta feed”, it would be much easier.

Now, I present to you, the “meta feed” of AdamWeeks: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=zA9CAp0E3RG50y5MzKky6g&_render=rss

Look up, up at the top, see that new link?  It says “tumblr”.  Yep, I’ve joined the mini-blog fad now and have a tumblr page.  For those who don’t know, its a pretty nifty service.  Its all centered around “quick”, quotes, videos, images, all compose small parts of tumblr pages.  The only thing I’m not too fond of is no one can post comments on your tumblr posts.  Check out this post to see what I’m up (or down) to.

Here’s some stuff I use that might be of use to you as well.  Some of this stuff I just started using, some I’ve been using a while.  All free!  This list is by no means accurate or complete.  Just some stuff I found useful that others may not know of.  In no particular order:

ClipX: a clipboard history tool

Filezilla: the best FTP/SFTP/SCP client I’ve ever used
http://filezilla-project.org/

Meebo: online AIM/Gmail/Yahoo IM client

UltraVNC: Remotely control a computer anywhere with an internet connection

FoxMarks: Sync your bookmarks across multiple computers (firefox only)

MultiMonitor Taskbar: extend your taskbar to your second monitor
