Chris Brogan had a wonderful post today about marketing your book online. The best thing about the post are the comments, though, so take the time to look through those. Nathan Bransford talks about the leap from small press to big publisher, something I’m quite interested in. And NaNo is coming [...]

I’ve received several complaints at the latest video I’ve posted, mainly because the files won’t play on iPod, or Zune. And here’s the problem – frankly, I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to the technical end. First, my Final Cut is acting up horribly, dropping frames no matter what I do. So [...]

With the help of Chris Miller, I discovered that Feedburner and Libsyn are no longer speaking to each other (regarding my feed, anyway). So I’ve send requests to Feedburner to look into it, and Farpoint Media (who deals with libsyn on my behalf) to talk to Libsyn. Now we hope.

The interview with Steven Gould was corrupted, so I have to re-record. I’ll have it soon. Promise.

My ISP’s server did bad things yesterday, and it’s still not up. This means Geek Fu as well as the ISBW forums are kaput.
