A Geek in Beantown

Dunno

I dunno what's up with commenting. If you get a login screen, pick one of the non-MT options to authenticate. If you have a TypeKey/Pad account, etc, you can use that info to leave a comment here.

I'll have to figure out what's going on, but not right now.

Testing 123

Not sure what's going on here. I can get comments and update an old post, but don't seem to be able to make a new post.

Tentatively excited

Just spotted on the Official Google Blog: Google Calendar Sync As in syncs Google and Outlook. OMG! This could be the answer to all of my syncing wishes. Except I'm nervous about trying it out and botching my calendars. Guess I'll be backing up Outlook this weekend and giving it a shot. If you've tried this out, please let me know how it went!

Upgraded

I seem to be running MT 4.1 now. :)

I'm glad they moved the new entry options off to the right. I kept forgetting to set my categories when posting!

Need some help with PmWiki

So I'm trying to set up a PmWiki wiki for a friend and not really understanding how Categories work or maybe I want to use something else but don't realize it.

We have a lot of content and I want to give it some structure (and have helpful breadcrumbs too).

Example:
Main area 1
   Sub area a (in Category Main1)
   Sub area b (in Category Main1)
       More info i (in Category Main1 and Sub area b)
       More info ii (in Category Main1 and Sub area b)
   Sub area c (in Category Main1)

Main area 2
   Sub area x (in Category Main 2)
       More info iii (in Category Main 2 and Sub area x)
       More info iv (in Category Main 2 and Sub area x)
   Sub area y (in Category Main 2)
   Sub area z (in Category Main 2)
       More info v (in Category Main 2 and Sub area z)
       More info vi (in Category Main 2 and Sub area z)
etc

If you're on a page in "More info iii", I want the breadcrumb to look like:

Main area 2 > Sub area x > More info iii > Name of this page

And I want you to be able to click on Sub area x and see that there's also a More info iv section.

For some reason, all of the pages are under Main, and not Main area 1. Is that right? Shouldn't they get put in their appropriate category group?

Sitemapper almost seems to do what I want... but not quite.

Anyway, I'm obviously confused and could use any help available. :)

Goosync sadness

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I've stopped using Goosync. Problem: Frequently when I sync my Treo to Google, my appointments come in as new on Google and I have to restore them to the original appointment and re-accept them. It's frustrating for the other people on the appointments as well as for me. Response: Unfortunately this is a known Google Calendar bug. There is no known solution or work-around at this point. Last we heard Google were working on the problem and hoped to have a solution in a later release of their code. So, no Goosync for me until this changes. Which sucks because it was handy. But not handy enough that I'm willing to drive people (and myself) batshit with the resending of existing appointments.

Grrr!

Goddamn spammers. I miss Keystrokes. When I had it installed, I almost never got spam comments emailed to me. Now I'm getting them all the time.

Not really sure what I'm going to do about this.

Sorry for the test entry

CrossPoster doesn't let me parse my macros which is annoying. And also does automatically make it obvious that this is a post from my blog and not from LJ. :(

More testing. Sorry!

Almost done with the upgrade!

That was a bigger effort than I'd expected, but future upgrades should be much smoother now. Thank goodness.

Anyway, this won't show up on :LJ: yet because I need to install and test CrossPoster, but right now I'm tired of computers and am going to read my book for a bit. In addition to upgrading my blog, I've been working with :Dave: to get MT4 installed on his server, and then starting to move their blogs over. Oy.

So, yes, break time! :)

PS: It would not shock me if there are broken links all over the place. Just leave me the info in a comment or email, please!


ETA: Testing crossposter now. *crosses her fingers*

Well, (#$*#$@)(*

So I bit the bullet and signed up for Goosync... and paid for an account so I could sync to multiple calendars. Now I'm missing all kinds of things on my Google calendar and have to fix it. So if you had something planned with me and it's gone from my calendar... well, that's why. Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow while doing laundry?
