A Personal (Anti) Social Soccer or Football Story

by

As most of my regular readers know as well as friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter, I love soccer. Since June 11th, I have been working late at night, early in the morning, on weekends, and between matches because I’m trying to watch as many World Cup games as I can. I think I will be completely worn out and ready to sleep for a week come July 12th ;-)

The funny thing though is that most of my life I hated watching sports (except for figure skating) and actively avoided getting involved. I didn’t enjoy playing them very much either. It was ok in junior high when I went to a tiny school and everyone could play whether they were any good or not. But my first two years of high school I went to a private school where you had to participate in a least one team sport – it was done instead of PE classes. [Read more…]

WordPress 3.0 Released 6/17/10

by

One of the downsides of writing a bunch of posts ahead of time and obsessively sticking to a posting schedule, is that when something big happens you end up being a little late to the party. And I wish WordPress 3.0 hadn’t been released during the World Cup – there is just too many big things happening in too many of my interests all at once.

WordPress 3.0 has finally been released. I haven’t installed it on this site yet but I did install one of the betas on a test site a couple of weeks ago. There are some things that I really like but I think that developers are going to be more excited about it than the average user.

Following the World Cup on Facebook and Twitter

by

Honestly, I should have posted this at least a week ago as we are now 10 days into the World Cup. For some reason, even though I love soccer, I wasn’t that excited leading up to it. I’m not really sure why.

But now that’s here I want to watch every match. Of course, I don’t but I’m trying to see as many as I can. It’s going to be a long month ;-)

There are a number of great resources for following the World Cup matches on Facebook and Twitter.

(Anti) Social Lists 6/20/10

by

Projects, end of the school year, World Cup 2010 … there is just so much going on for me right now. I seem to get ahead with my posts and then suddenly have no posts and am scrambling to stay on schedule. Well, I don’t usually schedule the Sunday links in advance even though I do tend to have a number of bookmarks ready to go.

This week I have slow living, freelancing, facebook, Dana Carvey and Ralph Macchio.

Enjoy!

How to Add Comments to a Facebook Fan Page

by

Last week I was playing around with some FBML and discovered that it’s really easy to add comments to a custom tab on your Facebook fan page. All you need is the page id and a little block of code.

The most difficult part of this is finding the page ID. It used to be in the page URL but ever since custom names for pages became available it’s a little harder to find. Of course, if you don’t have 25 fans yet or haven’t made a custom URL for your fan page, it will be easier to find the page ID.
