The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator

To celebrate the 6-month anniversary of Aussie Bloggers Forum and Blog, the Aussie Bloggers team have put together a “Lazy Bloggers Post Generator“.
You can generate numerous different “excuse” posts from it.
Here is an example I put together just for your reading pleasure:
Blimey! I just got a bajillion whiny emails saying I have not updated this […]


Comments Disabled

Every now and then I come across a blog that does not allow comments.
I guess because this is the exception rather than the norm, I’m curious as to:
a) whether this is still considered a “blog” (ie do you HAVE to allow comments in order to be considered a “blog”)

How Many Balls Can You Juggle?

From time to time, people ask me how I manage to keep up with 4 blogs. It’s “normal” to struggle with 1 at times, let alone 4.
While it does happen, I very rarely post to all 4 in the one day. Not on top of responding to comments, reading and commenting on other […]


Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter for about a two weeks now.

Some Days You Just Have to Walk. Away

BACK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER.
NICE. AND. SLOWLY.
Ever had one of those days where you would dearly love to THROW your computer out the window?
I don’t care what anyone says. Computers. Are. Stupid.
I know there are lots of operator errors. I know that I’m STUPID when it comes to operating computers.
But honest, […]


Zemanta

Image via WikipediaOver the past week or so, I have been trialing Zemanta, a firefox plug-in. You may have noticed a small orange button at the bottom of my posts that says “Zemified”. That indicates that I have used the program at some point in my post.
Once installed, Zemanta works with certain […]


Touch Typing

Image via WikipediaEvery now and then, I get people asking me how I manage to do it all. Maintain several blogs, that is. I really believe that the ability to touch type makes a HUGE difference to my productivity.
Depending on the topic at hand, I can spin out a blog post in a […]
