Salmon Commenting Protocol

sull — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:48:40 +0000

This bleeds into the topics i was passionate about last summer. I recall wanting to get Brian to use his rp.ly domain to spearhead this stuff….. http://in.rp.ly/to/
I was also refreshing on commentAPI and other older protocols/ideas from a decade ago.

Too much? This is a link log too so that makes up the majority of posts. I see no reason to use a separate social bookmarks service when i can just categorize them here and work like Daring Fireball.
So in between long posts, you get to tap into my attention by seeing the links that i’ve visited and think are noteworthy (blogworthy?).

As for my longer posts, it’s obvious to me that I need to find my writing style and take more time constructing some posts as opposed to just writing like I think… in real-time. Though it is somewhat apropos Bear with me. I’m a rusty blogger who is used to being a blog commenter and tweet’r in recent years.

I’ve been increasingly using this blog as a link log in between longer blog posts instead of a silent idle.
If the frequency of link posts is annoying, their are filtered RSS feeds clearly listed at the top of this site for links, macroblog (long posts), microblog (short posts), random (posts like this one), sull comments (re-posting comments i have left on other blogs), all posts and a all comments feed. each post also has its own comment feed. fyi.

excuse some blog titles not linking properly. earlier, i was trying to get a sort of daring fireball effect for all the links i bookmark here. so i want the titles to link directly to the remote url, not my blog permalink. i can do this manually with a custom field but had problems getting the Press This bookmarklet to properly add the custom field :/ so as a result, i need to re-edit a template to fix links category blog titles until i can fix the problem.

sull — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:28:22 +0000

i’m finding this p2 theme to be too buggy. aye. i go from a frustrating experience in google reader to a frustrating experinece in wordpress. you know the “press this” bookmarklet sucks, at least on mac firefox 3.5. this is why i write my own software. i dont like dealing with software that other people wrote. so now what i have to go report bugs somewhere on wordpress and/or fix it myself and hope that i dont override my fix with the next update?
wordpress might be a great app to a whole lot of people. and i give it a go every now and then. but each time i am reminded why i dont like using it.
you know what i enjoyed more? i recently installed Vanilla Forum over on my other site http://ogg.ly/gab. Had some bugs here and there but overall, it really is simple and easy….. the software gets out of my way. Vanilla2 is in dev too. http://vanilla2.com which i had installed and tested a little. i might have to revisit that. sheesh!

if this site continues to be a mix of micro and macro blog chunks and whatever falls in between, like this “random thought”, and with my RSS feed(s) being equipped with rssCloud and PubSubHubBub for faster near real-time delivery to subscribers (if i were to have subscribers …. then i see my intimate twitter usage dropping rapidly and replaced with pointers back to here. Same philosophy i ‘ve had with video…. using youtube to post teasers to videos on your own site. It’s important to me right now. I’ve been lazy and gone with the flow of social appetizers. Got to get MY shit together again. Thats what this is. Excuse the disorderly river of thought but this is also a process of learning how to use WordPress again in an intelligent way that works for me.

You’ll notice that I have started to re-post my own comments that I leave on other blogs here with a link to the blog post. Yes, I am a fairly active commenter. I am conflicted with this. I have thoughts about the difference between those who write an article/story and those who comment. I’ll save that for a longer post here later. But part of the reason why I started this blog recently is so I comment less and blog more. but I still enjoy engaging in conversations and value the commentsphere. After all, I am still R&Ding solutions to comments and replies across the web…. Like what’s next after trackbacks/pingbacks and blogless messaging based solely on RSS/Atom.
Evertime I copy&paste a comment here, I am reminded of this topic. My comment should be part of my river too

sull — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:14:56 +0000

so using this P2 WordPress theme, it’s interesting since it is meant to be a sort of intranet microblogging system I guess. When logged in, I have a quick post form that submits using ajax and apparently the page auto-updates so you get a real-time vibe. Not sure what the reload increment or if it’s doing a push or a pull or a hack hybrid of the two… have not looked at the guts of this theme too much. Anyway, whats interesting about using this theme is how is nudges you to post short messages while still allowing for long-form blogging. The result is this juxtaposed mix of micro and macro blogging. I also use categories to filter between short and long posts. I fel like I need to visually tune short posts maybe with a special border or background color. But all in all, I like mixing forms and think it will work for me and this blog.

recently decided to set aside a night or two to prototype tweetmore.info. the name sais it all. it will be a mashup web service. since twitter metadta api is limited for tweets, i will allow for additional metadata to be added with a “synch to twitter” option that will sit in idle until twitter properly provides such a metadata api with key-value storage. this is low priority but something will eventually be put up at this site within 30 days.
