American Woman

Planning for the American trip is going well.

So far, I have paid for the booth, I have my flights on the correct days, I have organized the car hire, I have paid for the hotel in Salt Lake. So, I’m well on my way.

The blog continues to evolve. Bek asked if it were possible to receive the whole entry in an email, instead of an excerpt with a link. Sadly, it isn’t. I asked the author if it were possible already, and he replied:

Dean,

This is only possible if you make a hack to the code or pay me to make the hack for you :-)

And frankly, I’m not going to pay, or go looking in the code myself. I want to promote a sense of community, and have people reply/comment to blog posts, and this is less likely if they just read it in their email client.

Also, there’s a new “widget” on the sidebar that includes a random image. At the moment, they’re just random place-holder images from around Bangkok, but soon they will feature a vetted list of every picture I own. That means that a lot of readers of this blog will soon have a random chance of seeing themself on the internet everytime I post. That’s sure to be a bigger buzz than just seeing your name in print.

    Oh yeah, the calendar. I’ll put that back asap.

    I’m going to the States by myself unfortunately. :(
