Hokay, trying out the new and improved treo web site posting thing. My approach to any new content posting system/content management system is to obfuscate as much as possible *what* CMS is in use. Certain obvious changes substantially reduce my risk of being hit by a driveby drone or bot. This new CMS is pretty widely used and pretty simplistic, and both of those qualities make it harder for me to obfuscate.
It appears I can now use dollar signs. The previous software ignored all strings after a dollar sign, evidently mistaking it for a variable. So if I wanted to tell you that I bought something for $100 I had to say it cost me 100 bucks or 100 dollars. Otherwise it would look like I bought something for .
I also can now include links (snorabji) and HTML, though that’s unlikely to happen much.
The URL is changed to reflect how I won’t have this stodgy Treo forever. Whatever device is next can post to this space.
I can not get the procmail rules to work, whereby anything sent to the e-mail account would get automagically fed into the web site. So I set a cron to scoop up anything in the mailbox every 10 minutes. Nothing urgent is being written here, but it will be cool to know that when I send an e-mail to this place it will immediately blast up to this web page.
See I just invoked a revealing use of directional language. Why is a web page “up” from an e-mail box? Well, in this case, the e-mail box is designated a receiving area, a /tmp space through which stuff passes on its way to this. “This” is this web page you are reading, though as I type this “this” is *this* and not some metaphysical substance that will materialize at a future point.
Alls I’m saying is, I key in to people’s use of UP and DOWN in their allusions to reality. It is something I noticed at corporate. Talk of “higher-ups” was common enough, but what about reference to “the people upstairs” and “send it up to the boss” when “the people” and “the boss” were physically located on lower floors of the building?
I noticed these things.
I am in a bar full of hot babes but here I am at a table by myself pecking away at this ridiculous keyboard. Babe magnet! Bring it on down to the babe magnet.
