Blog Tipping. Love it. Haven't heard that one before, but then again I don't read a lot of blogs that aren't about CoCos. :) Wintermute was kind enough to give The CoCo Hut, Brian's CoCo/Model III Repak blog, and David and Briza's CoCo Downunder a mention on his April 2, 2007 entry. You can read it here:
Blogtipping for April 2007 - Wintermute's Blog
Many thanks, amigo, and glad you like it.
As for the posting frequency he tips, well... I'll work on it. See, if I picked a regular posting frequency I'd never hit it. And then I'd be all in fits trying to get caught up. And then it wouldn't get done because I'd lock up. And then... Okay, I'll try. :)
I think one way to do a regular entry would be having a regular column of sorts. The Comments just kind of pop up when they stick and my head WHILE I happen to be sitting at the computer (see previous post on ATTR command). Clearly, those aren't planned. News when it occurs, of course. Can't help that. Pimp My CoCo is contingent on me actually getting out in the Evil Lab and actually working on it. (Sans little girls running around while I'm using power tools and electricity. Bad combination.) So...
Two off the top my head thoughts. First, I could go back to doing a regular CoCo history post. I use to this in the old CoCo Collector and it always went over big. This would be me picking something pretty much at random (whatever strikes my fancy at the moment... yes, I have a fancy... shuddap) and posting everything I come up with. Another similar concept would be posting about a particular aspect of the CoCo, like BASIC command of the month, or hack of the month, or something like that. Couldn't promise that more than once a month, but I could pick a due date and mostly stick with it.
The second would be a weekly CoCo Roundup. I did this a bit early on, but it never got a lot of responses. And when I quite, no one noticed. Course I'm pretty sure there were only two readers at the time, and one of them was my wife (who has since lost complete interest). I'm pretty sure there's at least four readers now. Well, apparently five. :) Anyhow, that could be done, say, late Sunday nights for posting every Monday. It involves me hitting certain sites, message boards, mailing lists and google searches and just yammering about what comes up.
Regardless, drop a note this way and let me know if something more regular like the above, or anything else for that matter, would be of interest. Just hit the comment link below, or email this way.
And thanks again to Wintermute for the mention! While you're over there, be sure to read through the rest of his posts. Great stuff on technology, implications and how to use it (and not). I can sympathize. heh...
