Scripting

So today was a boatload of fun. Winter has decided to make a last stand with single digit weather and 30 mph winds to drop the wind chill below zero.

I’ve been trying for quite some time to get the Salesforce.com and Google AdWords integration working. Keep in mind that I gave up on coding before I got out of school, I can handle HTML and javascript but my PERL is good only for comedic relief. After banging my head for a few days I found out that Dreamweaver, the program I use to edit my scripts, actually corrupts the files while changing them. It has something to do with the FTP software putting them on the server…. blah, blah, blah.

The good news is that I’ve found the source of one of the problems so perhaps I can show some progress tomorrow…

Return from Podcamp

Too tired… Just posted M Show.

It’s not in the bag

There’s nothing worse than when you reach into the bag and the stuff that you are digging for is not there. So far I have my wireless transmitter but no receiver (totally worthless). Better yet, my camera charger and the camera is back at the hotel with the laptop charger (just because I scored a seat with an outlet, you know).

The wireless here at Podcamp Toronto is excellent and Leesa Barnes is kicking the show off. Here we go…

Unconference!

Podcamp Toronto is right around the corner and I’m very excited to check out another un-conference. The schedule can be a bit frustrating since it’s always in flux (it stinks when somebody you want to see schedules themselves at the same time as one of your own slots CHRIS BROGAN).

I have to say though that I think I’m starting to lose patience with normal conferences. I seem to learn 3x the material at an unconference and don’t have to deal with as much vendor shilling. More to report as it happens!

I am obsolete

This has been sobering this week. The latest video is done and you can check it out here – Making Playlists and Smart Playlists for Podcasts.

My problem is that the YouTube video is too fuzzy so I decided to try Revver, which looks great. The problem there is that the Revver standard size is too big for this current blog layout. I’m now realizing that basic HTML is dead, if you aren’t a pro with CSS, AJAX and something like PHP that holds wordpress together, you are the latest 1984 K Car.

I threw in the towel and dropped an email to a designer C.C. Chapman recommended.

I hope the video is of some use, but please don’t call me the Johnasaurus.

I am going to be in Halo 3!

Unless I get outbid on the chance to buy a part in Halo 3, which would seem to be an absolute certainty, but it’s fun to dream. How cool to fire up Halo3 on the Xbox 360 and hear me in the heart of combat?

Update: I only held the top bid for a couple of hours… Looks like I need to scrape up more cash.

M Show Sunday

M Show 138 is up for your listening pleasure…

Bum Rush the Charts

This is going to be cool – on one day everybody we can round up in social media will buy one specific track on a day in March in iTunes. The affiliate money made will go to a college scholarship, all from the brain of Christopher Penn (the idea that is, not the scholarship). Get the full story here.

All about The M Show

I’m finally home and gearing up for work tomorrow, and I finally got this week’s M Show out the door.

Listen for all the latest on me getting robbed, going to California and last week’s insanity hanging out with Jose and Pink, John Furrier, and Rob from Podcast 411.

As always you can check out the photos here.

Time to get back to some Marketing…

Listen! Obey!

Sorry, getting a little “They Live” there (a B-Movie in case you aren’t old enough to get the reference). It’s Sunday so that means there’s a new M Show up for you. I slept the entire weekend as part of kicking this cold, but I’m not feeling too bad. Here’s to an exciting week!
