I’m on Lockergnome today!

20 May

Recently I submitted an article to the website known as Lockergnome, a network of blogs about a variety of topics (mostly tech-related). And today, it’s being featured on the main page of the site!

I’ve been a fan of Lockergnome for a long time, and even knew Chris Pirillo when we both went to the University of Northern Iowa. We weren’t best friends or anything, but he did hang out at the computer lab a lot (go figure) and I was a lab supervisor (also, go figure). We talked here and there, mainly about computers, and I enjoyed the conversations even though I found him a bit hyper.  =)  A few years later, I was surprised to see him online. I even attended a few Gnomedexes in Iowa and Lake Tahoe. Chris has done a ton of stuff since UNI and is now known internationally as a geek’s geek.

So, it’s a pretty neat thing that my story is now on his blog network. Check it out and let me know what you think (either on Lockergnome or right here). Also, please help me out by spreading the word… Put this as your Facebook status or send out a tweet that says:

Check out the Lockergnome post ‘Dropbox for the Divorced’ by my buddy Kevin Harter at http://bit.ly/csOYBF.  He’s on Twitter: @TechDaddyK.

Thanks, everyone! Hopefully I’ll be able to do more with the Lockergnome blog network in the future as well. I’ll keep you posted.

 

New blog name and new WP version

23 Jul

I installed the new version of WordPress this afternoon. Why is this so “complicated”? I put that in quotes because it isn’t really that complicated, just complex. Does that make sense? Basically, I’m saying that the instructions aren’t very good and leave a few steps out. Why can’t you just create an installer, WordPress?

After installing the new version – 2.6 – I was going through all of the Settings and other Admin menus, like a good nerd should. I ran across the Settings where the blog title and other things are kept and decided that I needed a “real” name for the blog. Until then, it was just called KevinHarter.com.

The new – perhaps temporary – title of this blog is BDK’S Random Thoughts. That sounds pretty generic, I know, but I it does a good job of accurately describing the blog. I really don’t have a central topic that I discuss – I’m just as likely to talk about iPhones as I am about my family. And to put my whole nickname in the title (BigDaddyK) would make it incredibly long.

Oh, yeah, I also now own the domain bdk.me. I’m going to be pointing that domain to this blog soon, so I thought it would fit nicely.

So what do you think of the new name? Do you have a better idea? Leave a comment and tell me!

 

Postin' from the iPhone finally!

21 Jul

Okay, I had to relaunch the app but it’s finally working!

I’m typing this post with the brand spankin’ new WordPress app. It popped up in my RSS feed from Pinch Media and I grabbed it right away. It literally came out within the past 30 minutes and isn’t even available via Search yet!

The first two times I tried to post this, I wasn’t able to because the Save button had disappeared. So had the buttons on the bottom of the screen. But after relaunching the app, all seems well and this should be up in mere minutes.

I have already written a review on the App Store which I’m going to try to go change now. I only gave it two stars because I couldn’t post. Now that I can, I’m going to revise that review.

I’ll be writing a lot more in the near future. Stay tuned!
