<div class="entry-content"><p>I’ve been looking for some new podcasts for my commute to and from work.
I ran across the <a href="http://5by5.tv/mpu">Mac Power Users</a> podcast.
<a href="http://5by5.tv/people/david-sparks">David Sparks</a> and
<a href="http://5by5.tv/people/katie-floyd">Katie Floyd</a> present some pretty cool
stuff on Macs and OS/X.</p>
<p><a href="http://5by5.tv/mpu/93">Episode #93: Education Workflows with Fraser Speirs</a>
really drew me in. <a href="http://speirs.org/">Mr. Spiers</a> is a very engaging
speaker and his views on education impressive. He’s implemented a
one-student-one-iPad program at
<a href="cedars.inverclyde.sch.uk/">Cedars School of Excellence</a>
in his native Scotland.</p>
<p>One thing he said really grabbed me (paraphrasing):</p>
<blockquote><p>Word processing is becoming a skill for secretaries while creating<br/> presentations that persuade an audience is becoming a skill for CEOs.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, I used this as a teaching moment for my son who often asks</p>
<blockquote><p>When will I ever use THAT in the real world?</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, next time you’re working on a PowerPoint presentation for school, ask
yourself, “wouldn’t you rather be paid a CEO’s salary?”</p>

<div class="entry-content"><p>Trying once again to reset my blog, this time with
<a href="http://http://octopress.org/">Octopress</a>.</p>
<p>After some initial search for ways to convert my old
<a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a> blog data, I ended up writing my own
conversion script using <a href="http://www.mysql.org">MySQL</a> and
<a href="http://nodejs.org">Node.JS</a>. In hindsight, I probably should have used
<a href="https://github.com/thomasf">thomasf’s</a>
<a href="https://github.com/thomasf/exitwp">exitwp</a> script but I didn’t discover it in
time.</p>
<p>But because I’d dedicated some time to my script,
<a href="https://github.com/geneticgrabbag/wp2octopress">wp2octopress</a>, I decided to
put it up on <a href="http://www.github.com">github</a> so I would at least have a record
of my efforts and, if it helps someone else, all the merrier.</p>
<p>In any case, this blog now contains the bulk of my posts from the past. I
didn’t post the old comments from WordPress but there’s some good information
and questions from some nice folks, so I may look at porting them over in the
future.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<div class="entry-content"><p>Since I’ve moved from a dynamic blog using
<a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a> to a static one using
<a href="https://github.com/cloudhead/toto/">toto</a>, I’ve had to outsource my
commenting system and have decided to try <a href="http://www.disqus.com">Disqus</a>.</p>
<p>I use <a href="http://www.webbynode.com">Webbynode</a> for my hosting (love them) and
they have a great
<a href="http://guides.webbynode.com/articles/rapidapps/toto.html">guide</a>
to setting up and deploying <a href="https://github.com/cloudhead/toto/">toto</a>.</p>
<p>The first step I took was creating an account with
<a href="http://www.disqus.com">Disqus</a> and
<a href="http://disqus.com/admin/register/">registering</a>
<a href="http://epmills.com">epmills.com</a> with them. After you
<a href="http://disqus.com/admin/register/">register</a> your site,
<a href="http://www.disqus.com">Disqus</a> provides you with two Javascript scripts to
add to your site. You also need to add a <code>div</code> as a placeholder
where <a href="http://www.disqus.com">Disqus</a> will insert any comments for the page
along with a text area to enter a new comment.</p>
<p>I cloned <a href="https://github.com/cloudhead/dorothy">Dorothy</a> to initially
set up my blank website.</p>

<div class="entry-content"><p>Stumbled upon a really simple but effective way to copy your contacts from
your <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/" title="Apple Mac OS/X">OS/X</a>
<a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/mail-ical-address-book.html" title="Apple Mac Address Book">Address Book</a>
onto an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_enV_(VX9900">LG Env Touch</a> “LG Env Touch on Wikipedia”).
The beauty is in how seamlessly the bluetooth operates between the Mac and the
phone.</p>
<p>The tool is an AppleScript called SendContacts. You simply create a group in
Address Book named
”<a href="http://ccsoftwarefactory.com/SendContacts/" title="SendContacts Home">SendContacts</a>”,
drag the addresses you’d like to copy to the phone into this group and then
execute the script. The script opens Address Book if it’s not already open
and copies the addresses in the special group. My phone is setup to query me
if an upload is requested so I unlocked my phone, confirmed the upload and
away the script runs. It took only a few seconds to copy around 70 contacts.</p>
<p>Nice.</p>
<p>Since a phone is used to, umm, make calls, I created my “SendContacts” group
as a Smart Group defining only those contacts for whom a phone number is
available:</p>
<p><img class="center" src="/images/2009/08/sendcontacts-smartgroup-screenshot.png" title="Contacts Smart Group" alt="Using a Smart Group to Define Contacts to Send"></p>
<p>Kudos to
<a href="http://www.apple.com/support/bluetooth/" title="Apple Bluetooth Support">Apple</a>,
<a href="http://www.lge.com/products/category/list/mobile%2520phone.jhtml" title="LG Mobile Phones">LG</a>,
and the <a href="http://www.bluetooth.org/" title="Bluetooth">Bluetooth Consortium</a> for
making this all so easy and to <a href="http://www.ccsoftwarefactory.com/">C+C Software Factory</a>
for creating such a nice utility!</p>
