more than lol: lmao

There is fun in the world wide web. And some comic strips share the same subjects (more or less): nerds or geeks, IT specific humour and sometimes not so well to understand by not techIT-affine people. anyway: I’m laughing out loud (lol) and sometimes I’m laughing my ass of (lmao). It’s just a small overview and I’m more than sure that there must be more, out there in the open undiscovered space called internet.

Lets start with bLaugh:
Always use BCC

More simplistic, sometimes very hard to understand: xkcd:
Sandwich

And my newest discovery: Kopozky
Virtualworld

P.S.: Don’t forget the classics: Joy of Tech by Nitrozac & Snaggy

First I was happy with last.fm. It analyzes what I play via iTunes, makes musical suggestions, post my current playing song info to my blog (not working right now and I don’t know why. no time to check/fix it). anyway. the site/service itself is in my opinion not really a plus for me. no really new music for me. all of the suggestions I already knew and had mostly in my archive.

ilike

then there was light: iLike. early beta. web 2.0 (harhar). well, no API for putting the played tracks to a site (via rss or whatever), yet. maybe later? — but again: early beta (and if you take a look at the url not even a beta more a alpha). The best: musical suggestions to new music — more or less unknown artists — AND free (legal) downloadable mp3s. free. music. and the suggestions fit 90%. i like it. add the rss feature and I’ll love it.

UPDATE:My «What I’m listening to» is working again. Check it out, new music, unknown artists.

upflickr’ed

started again with uploading my shots to flickr. so you have to head over to watch my sets like:

until I choose an appropriate way to present my photography. I’v still made no decision if I’ll present with SlideShowPro, SimpleViewer or “just” with Lightbox2. I’ve gotta go back to work now.

This Way!

TextmateYesterday I found that great solution to post to my blog via TextMate. Today I watched the screencast (30 MB, QT). And guess what?

I’m very close to use it as my standard way to access my blogs.

Lets try to post an image … Just drag’n'drop an image onto the TextMate window and this shows up:

Tm Upload

No need for a ftp-uploader or the wp-backend uploader or …

I think I start to get an idea what TextMate really is: The «Ubertool» for everything related to text — from simple config-files editing to creating markup or css, or in this case: feeding my blogs. (Lets count the days/weeks/months until I use BBEdit or Ecto again.)
