See and download the full gallery on posterousLast night I attended the night parade in the town that time forgot. Nice time, lots of people, beautiful weather.

Anyway, I put Hipstamatic into random mode and just snapped a bunch of pictures. Not all were great, but here were some of the highlights.

Gather round, children…

Gather round, children…:

And listen while I tell you a tale of fancy and whim! Or something like that. As many of you are surely aware, I experienced a HUGE outage the other day for everything I run outside of the extralife site, and that was because it was all hosted separately and apart from MyExtraLife.com. [..]

Home Page Decisions

I knew that I needed my personal website to not be running Drupal, since as CMSMS grows, it starts to become a little strange and hard to explain. Let’s be realistic, if the president of GM was driving a Prius around, you’d ask questions too.

I’ll be honest, I like Drupal. For the types of sites that it’s made for, it excels at. Is it for every site? God, no. But nothing is, including CMSMS.

Did I really want to put my website on CMSMS? Not really. My personal website is an aggregator. Not only is it a place to post personal stuff, it’s also a place to gather up all the other things I do on the internetz, and post them in one convenient location. I have several blogs I post on plus a lot of images and sometimes even a video. Sure, I could’ve written modules for CMSMS to do this, but I really didn’t want to, as I have enough other things to do. I just wanted something that works.

I admit that I’ve fallen in love with both Posterous and Tumblr over the last couple of years. They’re both very interesting systems, and what I find is that they server two completely different purposes.

Tumblr does two things very well. It allows you post different types of content very quickly. But more important, it’s a true aggregator. You can put in different RSS feeds and it’ll import those items as articles. It was very similar to my Drupal setup, to be honest. I don’t have quite as much control, but I wasn’t concerned about it. I just wanted those items to show up around any straight Tumblr posts that I do.

Posterous, on the other hand, is an anti-aggregator. It’s an intelligent blast service, with a nice display built in. The reason that Posterous has succeeded where other’s have failed is the ability to post an item in one place (over email!) and have that item go to 50 different places without doing any work. In my case, I can have it go to Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo (if I attach a video), Flickr (if I attach an image), and (most importantly) Tumblr.

So, what did I decide? Strangely enough… both. Officially http://tedkulp.com is running on my Tumblr blog. However, Posterous (http://post.tedkulp.com) becomes my delivery platform — my plumbing. Things I write to Posterous get sent to all the places I need them to, and are stored safely on my Tumblr blog for future chronological reference of my future internet dynasty (little overboard? nah!). And, I still have access to Tumblr proper for me to post little nuggets/links/comments that really don’t have to blasted to the free world. Plus, going totally 3rd party/hosted gets me out of any future religious debates.

It’s a neat system. Though, it probably needs a diagram for it truly to make sense to anyone except myself. When did having a presence on the internet become so complicated?
