It's The End Of My Hard Drive As I Know It and I Feel Fine or Why I'm Running Tiger on Snow Leopard Weekend.
August 29th, 2009 So, I had some disturbing news this weekend, my MacBook Pro, Zen, had his hard drive die on me and unlike most folks who have had a drive crash, I'm not panicked, once I figure out how I am going to work over the next few days until Apple can replace the drive I've been doing what I need to get an old machine up and running.
What Happened
So I was doing general decrufting to prepare for the snow leopard upgrade things started feeling wanky. Emptying caches took longer then it should've. Repairing permissions and scanning the disk were throwing errors.
Blog Hiatus
August 27th, 2009 Folks who follow my tweets / facebook /etc know I've been up to my ears in a project. I've got to put seanreiser.com on hiatus for a couple of weeks until I get things running smoothly with this new client.

Looked across the subway platform last night and saw the spitting image of Rogue and had to take a pic.
Abbott And Costello - Who's On First
August 16th, 2009 I have a number of "classic" radio shows stored on my drive and I figured I'd start posting them once a week for folks who might be interested. I'm starting out with a little Abbott and Costello doing Who's On First. If there's enough interest I'll setup an independent podcast feed with them. As far as I know everything I'm uploading is out of copyright and well in the public domain.
Share and Enjoy!

Thoughts about the Facebook FriendFeed Merger
August 11th, 2009 Just got done listening to the latest FFundercats "emergency chat podcast" discussing the Facebook / FriendFeed merger. Of course there's a lot of fear around this from the community. Will they merge the 2 systems? If I'm only a friendfeed user, will I have to get a facebook account in order to retain all the things I've posted in friendfeed? If they merge the 2 systems will my contacts be merged? Will my Facebook friends be able to see my FriendFeed activity or vice versa? Will I have to become Steven Perez's bunneh vampire?

Twitter and Facebook Outages: This is Why We Need a Loosely Coupled Network
August 6th, 2009 OK, last night I wrote a piece on RSSCloud in which I touched on the 140 character network and what I was doing to implement it. A few non-propellerhead friends sent me IMs last night not getting why a loosely coupled network is important, which is OK I didn't do a good job of explaining it.
Play With Keyboard and RSS Cloud
August 6th, 2009 Last week I attended Dave Winer's roadshow for bootstrapping the RSSCloud. It was an interesting meeting lots of discussion and I think that RSSCloud has some potential. It's always fun being in a room with seasoned pros, young turks and other folks some smarter then you and feeling the energy as these things are discussed.
It's funny to know that as the discussion lately has been around making the web real time (or more appropriately "real-ish time" as someone said in the meeting).
A piece of RailRoad History

Was in Newark's Penn Station for a job interview and saw this bench with the old Pennsylvania Rail Road logo on it
IM and the RSS Cloud
August 2nd, 2009 At Dave Winer's meeting about bootstrapping the Rss Cloud someone (I don't remember who, sorry) asked about the possibility of using the cloud as an opensource peer to peer IM network to replace Jabber/XMPP (there was a little discussion around how difficult it is to implement XMPP securely and correctly). As I'm working on my cloud I've gotten to thinking about how to implement IM. I have no time to lead this for real, so this may be just a mental exercise.
