In a rare turnabout, I posted to my LiveJournal yesterday and will cross-post it here. I had a WP plug-in that automated the reverse, but I don’t use it anymore. I had only logged into LJ to wish a friend happy birthday. I found a nice suggestion for a blog post topic awaiting me, which [...]

OpenBlogging at The Anthill
June 28th, 2008 
Tim The Anthill is an OpenBlog – a new concept in blogging. One blog with 100s or even 1000s of authors! It is the official community blog of cr8Buzz! I love seeing how quickly people grow to love and rely on this blog to share their insights and knowledge with others and also bring traffic to [...]
Change Is Good
June 11th, 2008 Tim The Inflatable Soapbox is moving to a new server today. The URL http://timkissane.com will still work, but please check your blogroll links and bookmarks. The IP-based address http://timkissane.com/ will no longer be valid. I expect these changes to be complete by 17:00 EST today. Any odd glitches should be ironed out by tomorrow. I want [...]
The Devil’s (Linux) Advocate
May 19th, 2008 Tim I’m one of those Linux fanatics who enjoy trying new distros almost constantly. Because of the freedom inherent in the GPL and other “open” licenses, there are always new flavors of my favorite OS springing up. Early spring of last year, I found an Ubuntu-based distro called UbuntuSE. I was attracted to the screenshots of [...]
Wednesday Guest Post? Lindsay Lohan?
March 19th, 2008 Tim I’d like to offer a weekly spot on the Inflatable Soapbox for a guest post. Anyone who’d like to share his or her views on an Open Source topic (Linux, WordPress, GIMP, MySQL, GPL, distro review, etc.) is welcome to submit a post. You must register first to gain contributor status. Since I don’t have [...]

Comments OffBlackle – Green Google!
February 25th, 2008 Tim Every now and then I read a post and smack myself in the head, saying “Why didn’t I think to blog that!” I’m sure we’ve all had that experience. Today, it was this post from Green Colibri. I’ve been using Blackle as an eco-friendly alternative to the Google home page since last year. There were [...]
First Blog Award!
February 13th, 2008 Tim The Inflatable Soapbox is now rated E for Excellent! It’s the first blog award I’ve received; indeed, the first award of any kind in quite a few years. Thanks to Stacey of RealWorldMom! Stacey is a first class blogger, be sure to check out her site! I introduced her to blogging just a few months [...]
Cre8Buzz! Themes Site
January 29th, 2008 Tim I’m enjoying this new site so much! Cre8Buzz! is a friendly network of talented people trying to spread the word of their projects while making friends and contacts. Because of the ranking system, and the communities, it is easy to quickly find talented people in many fields. Two things I noticed immediately: the warm welcome [...]
technorati tango
January 6th, 2008 Tim Technorati Profile This is a test post to link to technorati. Edit: It hasn’t worked yet. After embedding the code from technorati in this post, I clicked “release the spiders” (what a horrid metaphor). In less than a minute, a message informed me “we can’t connect to your blog. Try again later.” I’ve tried several [...]
FaceOff: My Mind’s Data is My Data
January 3rd, 2008 Tim Reading some of the comments on the Robert Scoble v. FaceBook issue this morning, which centers on an issue of great importance for all of us. It seems FB suspended Scoble’s account because he was using a script to gather data from his account. FB’s IDS probably caught the activity and took automated action. But [...]
