V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Possibly as a direct result of THIS, Ron Schenone of The Blade and Reflections blogs (member Rons here at Scot's) was nice enough to personally recommend me as a blogger at Chris Pirillo's Lockergnome site. I've agreed to give this a shot. I've sent Bob Fogarty over there the info necessary to get started. My blog's name will be Nocturnal Slacker. What else, right? I'll post the link around here somewhere once it's all set up. Hopefully, y'all will come and read my musings. I'll be blogging about Linux, of course, but also general topics that grab my imagination. It should be kinda' fun. I'm a blog newbie (I know, Bruno. I know! ), but intend to make a go of it. I don't have any worries about my writing skills; it's material that I worry about. I hope to come up with entertaining stuff on a consistent basis. It's more difficult than it sounds... ask any blogger.I'll keep ya' posted on the progress... Quote
securitybreach Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Sounds good. :thumbsup:I will add you to my feed-reader if your blog offers rss feeds. Quote
sunrat Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Good stuff Eric! Lockergnome was one of the first sites I joined when I started with computers 8 or 9 years ago. haven't been there much lately as it's mainly Windows and a little Mac. Looks like you can redress the imbalance for penguinistas. Quote
goretsky Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Hello,Congratulations! I can't wait to read your first article! :)Regards,Aryeh Goretsky Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Here is the link: http://www.lockergnome.com/nocturnalslacker/It's not set up yet, though. I'll be working on it later this afternoon. :)Oh and there's always http://www.lockergnome.com/linux Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Haven't made any choices, actually. I can login, but that's all. I can't set up any of my prefs or anything. I have an email to Bob Fogarty asking for assistance. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Weird. Can't get there and it almost immediately moved me to a ad page without me click on it...weird. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Nevermind ... it's this Debian Lenny interaction with a built-in mouse glide on this laptop. Change to have to double-click links but it still does tapping! I can't find the turn off tapping like I did in Windows. :(The site is fine, just was movement with the mouse on the page that clicked a stupid ad. Installed Adblock Plus from apt-get and NoScript shouldn't happen again LOL Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 There was an issue with my setup. They had to eliminate the . (dot) in my blog address. I corrected the link above. Here it is again --> http://www.lockergnome.com/nocturnalslacker/ Quote
securitybreach Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Well I added your feed to my iGoogle homepage and also GoogleReader Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks. You're my first fan. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I posted about your new blog on my BambisMusings blog here, and added your tribute to the Memorial page for Bruno on my blog, and Tweeted about it to help get more traffic to your new blog! :DLike I mentioned in my blog posting, they couldn't have chosen a better guy!Oh, and I too have added it to my RSS feeds. :yes:Good luck on it Eric!

V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 1, 2010 Author Posted April 1, 2010 Yup. You were my very first linkback. I'm not a virgin anymore. ;)Thank you, Franny! Or should that be "Frannie"? Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 LOL! As my Dad always said, as long as you don't call me Late For Dinner! Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 Any SlashDot or Digg members here? don't forget to SlashDot and Digg me. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 Cool! I'll be sending you that kickback money shortly. Quote
securitybreach Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Just let me know what you need, I do not mind trolling the sites for you..... just kidding. Kidding aside, if there is anyway I can help you out, just let me know and I will do whatever I can. Quote
securitybreach Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Clone yourself 100,000 times and have each of you read by blog every 30 minutes, while clicking on all the Google ads there.Or... just pass the link along to every Tom, Dick, and Mary that you know who has a keyboard, monitor, mouse... and can read and click. Sorry I was only able to clone myself 90,000 times but yeah I know what you mean. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 :w00t:Just spreading the link would do the trick, Josh. Just have to get "known" out there and develop a following. I doubt I'm going to be able to support myself by this alone. Although, I understand there are many who do manage that (I'll be learning the trade as I go along). Maybe it can be my stepping stone to a real paid freelancer position. Scot... you listening here? For now though, I'm just learning and having FUN! Quote

If you manage to start getting paid, I may have to join you in this blogging thing :hysterical:Just stage some cute cat doing something in a video (especially playing a piano) and you will get tons of hits. For some reason, us geeks, like the cute cat videos. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 What a coincidence. I just posted a "cute cat" blogpost a few minutes ago. http://www.lockergnome.com/nocturnalslacke...autiful-ladies/ Quote
