I have to say – I am in love with the folks who make Ubuntu. So much so that they will be receiving a lot of pimpin from me in the very near future!

I’ll spare you Windows lovers the screen space but, seriously, after using Windows since ummmm…1993? I promise you don’t want to sleep on what is back here…

Okay…I’ve been doing a lot of talking on/around the social media lately and I think it’s time to do one big updated post to get it all outta my system. (While I procrastinate with the whole digging in the dirt bit.)

I have never been one to deal with any social media beyond IM and blogging. I was around before MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or any of that jazz. Loathed the idea, really. I got my first MySpace page to keep up with a distant friend. And, if I’m not mistaken, I didn’t sign up with Twitter or Facebook until I was under the influence of Planet Zoron.

(Started this post two hours ago and I’m just now gettin back to it, compliments of one of the best ladies I know!)

Now I have to make this relatively quick.

One thing I’ve really not wanted to do is go through to all those sites to update/promote/whatever. That’s one reason I’ve held off on expanding. It’s hard enough to maintain the websites I do without all the added hassle of plugging it! Til Magee was kind enough to turn me on to Ping.fm.

Oh man…I’m so in love!

I’ve got my Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace connected (MySpace has always been picky when it comes to cross-posting stuff) so I have regular status updates at my disposal and I have Eddy De Clercq’s super dope WordPress plugin WPing.FM. That pings Ping.FM which, in turn, pings all my social networks and tons more!

Ya’ll should really check it all out, if you’ve been sleepin like I have anyway. -grin-

Time to get back in the dirt before I have to start cookin breakfast!

Test number two…-crosses my fingers-

So far, I’m loving the hell outta Facebook and Ping.fm! Just one more thing to try…

I’m feelin very much the geek right now.

In case you haven’t noticed, PoisonDesigns.com has gone through a few minor changes.

The full makeover is still very much in the works but, meanwhile, I needed some layout changes.

Bein that I was quite over dealing with others’ WordPress themes and trying to figure out where everything was, I went through and made my own. From scratch! (With a little help from WPDesigner.com and a lil bit of code snipped from Lunatic Fringe – the coolest theme I’d found yet!)

There are probably a few bugs here and there but it’s all mineeeeee!

If you’re browsing around and see something out of whack, let me know!
