Workaround for Missing Item Enclosures in Feedburner Feeds

2009-12-28T21:27:00.000-05:00

So I noticed our item enclosures were capped at one per feed item. I knew the problem was on Feedburner's end because the source feed was still showing multiple item enclosures. I fixed it by first un-checking "Item enclosure downloads (podcast downloads)" from Analyze > Configure Stats. Then I clicked "Resync Now" from the Troubleshootize tab.

Note: Obviously, it's not going to work if SmartCast is activated...

New York Anime Festival: Wi-Fi Pricing (updated)

2008-09-07T11:38:00.003-04:00

Reminder: The New York Anime Festival is less than 20 days away. Have you ordered your tickets yet? I still haven't ordered mine but that's only because I'm trying to get ten people together to get the group discount. The fact that I still don't have tickets is making me a little nervous.

The Wi-Fi access at the Jacob Javits Convention Center is 128K. They offer access at $4.95 per hour, $29.95 per show day or 69.95 for three days. I've attached a doc file that explains a little more but I'm guessing most people just want to know how much it costs. Surprisingly this information isn't on the Javits website; Only if you e-mail them will they send you a doc file with the information. I saved the file to Google Docs, you can read it below.

update: FAIL! After posting this I saw the same information can be found on the NYAF FAQ page. Well, so much for that. :[

Rocking the Vote w/the B-side of My Business Cards

2008-09-02T02:43:00.014-04:00

Welcome to September, everybody! I don't know about you guys but Barack Obama's speech last Thursday motivated me to get in on some sexy grass roots action. I knew that I specifically wanted to register people to vote but I couldn't figure out how. I finally came up with this simple idea and I encourage everyone else to follow it.

Instead of leaving them blank—or scribbling crude drawings—I'm going to use the B-side of my business cards to get the message out end encourage people to vote. Here's what it now says:

Why vote in 2008? It's time to inspire. Time to lead. Time to seek peace. Time to be courageous. Time to be outraged. Time to believe. Time to fight for what is right. Time to think. Time to make history. Time to rock the vote.

It's a simple idea but I'm really excited. It's better than nothing, right? The other thing I did was I added Rock the Vote links to my MySpace profile. I'll be doing the same to MY STADY once I find time to play with the layout. I'm not too concerned with how many people actually follow through because at the very least this will help raise awareness. I've added a link to ODT and DOC versions of the business card template. These are for Avery 8871 business card sheets and compatibles.

respect: Rock the Vote, Barrack Obama

I tried to host these on Google Docs but it fucks up the formatting on export.
