Let’s see… what is new… hmmm. Have I mentioned that I got a job? For the most part, I have been keeping busy writing for my blogs, recording audio shows for my various podcasts, and reading lots of books for reviews. That’s a lot of fun, but the pay isn’t exactly impressive. It’s enough to get [...]

New Old Stuff

Brian Schell — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 00:51:53 +0000

OK, last time I mentioned that I had some new plans in store for Arcane Tales, and I went ahead and got started with that. The format of the show (or podcast) is now all old-time radio programs. That’s a whole lot more fun that people listening to me read a story aloud. I’m not old [...]

Whatever Happened To February?

Brian Schell — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:34:15 +0000

I don’t know where February went, but I must’ve been busy, since there weren’t any posts the entire month! So what have I been up to? I’ve been converting one of my sites, Taooftheday.com over to Joomla, and that’s been a lot of work. I probably could have done some kind of automated importing of the old [...]

Update

Brian Schell — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:30:52 +0000

Not too much really going this month, hence the lack of blog posts. I’ve been working on growing my various blogs as well as building up my Twitter and Facebook presences, but otherwise, not much major is going on. I was sick for about a week, and had an ear infection that’s still hanging on [...]

Genesis of a Blog

Brian Schell — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:13:00 +0000

I was on Twitter the other night, and for some reason, out of the blue, @tdukes sent me the Tweet: @tdukes: Speaking of dhana/good works I thought I would pass this along. http://tinyurl.com/8xrcnq @DailyBuddhism That is just so wrong. So much unnecessary suffering. Hundreds of children living in a garbage dump? @tdukes: So many live with so little, [...]

Lots of work

Brian Schell — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:47:34 +0000

Yesterday was New Year’s Day. so I decided it would be a good time to get all my software current. That was mistake number 1. I also came up with a new blog idea and decided to kill off a blog that I have completely lost interest in. These were mistakes number 2 and 3. Then I [...]

Pre-Christmas Week

Brian Schell — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:10:13 +0000

It’s currently 7 degrees and -14 with the wind chill. Yow! Christmas shopping is done, and everything is set for the big day, so I don’t have to go out in the ultra-cold anytime soon. So what have I been up to this week? I recently set up Replay Media as a “network site,” a sort of [...]

Upgrades

Brian Schell — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:53:30 +0000

Wordpress 2.7 came out last night. It’s a big upgrade, but big upgrades mean big changes and potentially big problems. I had been running the release candidate on DailyChessLesson.com since that was a really new site, but I have been afraid to try it on one of my busier sites. The blogs themselves won’t be [...]

Weekly Update

Brian Schell — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:23:22 +0000

Not too much new going on this week. The local University and Community College are both closed until after the first of the year, so I have no swimming pool to go to for a break, so I’m pretty much just sitting around all day writing with no break and getting bored already. Sigh. I just [...]

Thanksgiving Week

Brian Schell — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:06:08 +0000

Lessee… The first half of the week went about as usual, nothing especially interesting. Thursday I spent Thanksgiving with the family playing with the Niece & Nephew. Friday, I wanted nothing to do with “Black Friday” so I stayed home and did a BUNCH of podcasts. I did the Daily Buddhism #33 first, which I’ll put online [...]
