chi.mp invites for the best 5 comments
Chi.mp is a service that aggregates your online identity merging your activity from Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, and others. They are also an OpenID provider which means, upon registration, you will automatically have a single login for the multitude of sites that support OpenID. I will give away a chi.mp invite to each of the 5 readers who leave the best suggestions of geeky things you’d like to learn how to do. This could be something like installing a Linux distro or configuring port forwarding on a router, or it could be a little more hardcore like tweaking the CSS in a WordPress theme or something geekier still. Make sure it’s related to gaming, the Internet, or tech in some way. I’m not going to post any cross-stitch patterns. (Sorry!) Please leave your e-mail address intact (I have a plugin that will obscure it from harvesters). While you’re here, check out some of my other posts and subscribe if you like what you see. Thanks!
Update: One of the invites has already been claimed. Four still remain!
Hope you can write something about Gist, and something about new server-rooms that have focuse on green IT. Hope this is Geeky enough
Is this the Gist you’re talking about?
I love netbooks and other portable gadgets, so that’s obviously something I’d love to learn more about. I’m currently thinking about installing Windows 7 on my Samsung NC10 since I’ve had it on my desktop for weeks and it’s been great so far.
btw, thanks to that link to 50 Win7 tips – there is some cool stuff there.
I find netbooks fascinating even though I can’t help but think they may be a fad. I’m sure I’ll try to at least keep abreast with the latest netbook developments. In case you haven’t seen it, I reviewed the Dell Mini 9 on my site a couple of weeks back. I, too, am a gadget-hound like yourself.
Your invite is on its way! Check back. I’m sure I will have some more posts that you’ll enjoy.
The geeky thing I want to learn is how to build a site that extract data from twitter and display it. Hope this is geeky enough
I have never used any API in development, but I will take a look at Twitter’s and see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion! Your invite is on the way.
Is there anyone could invite me to join chi.mp, my email is linux.usrs at gmail dot com, thanks
I would be glad to send you an invite. What kind of post would you like to see on this site?
The geeky thing I’d like to learn how to do? Work with browser cookies. I’d like to be able to show content tailored to users either specifically, or based on the times they visit. I have no idea how to do it, and would very much like to learn even a little bit about it.
Very cool suggestion. I myself don’t know how to do this, but I’ll definitely look into it. I wouldn’t mind knowing for myself. Thanks, David.
