An anonymous reader alerted me to a problem with the new RSS feed… the feed at http://www.technoccult.com/feed/ doesn’t seem to be updating. http://www.technoccult.com/feed/rss2 seems to work, though. I’m not sure what’s going on, please let me know of any other issues.

Sad news, Invisible College blogger D.W. Cooper has passed away. I didn’t know him, but I loved his blog.

Not safe for work tributes at Sauceruney’s and Weird Pixie’s.

Update: Big thanks to Mad Ghoul for his sponsorship =)

As many of you know, I just moved last month. What you might not know is, I’m pretty broke right now. I just had to renew the klintron.com domain name, which cost me $12.95, which may not sound like a lot, but is quite a lot to me right now. So the first person who paypals me (klintfinley at yahoo dot com) $12.95 will get a spot on the Technoccult sidebar listing them as a sponsor. I promise to keep this spot for 1 year.

(I’ll just decline subsequent Paypal payments)

I’ve disabled comments because there’s a hack circulating that uses MT’s comment script to e-mail spam. Apparently it’s possible to use the script to access the web server’s e-mail server. Doh!

So this is motivating me to finally switch this blog over to Word Press, hopefully sometime today or tomorrow.

What was I thinking? The new word limit is 10,000 words, not 2,000. I guess I was thinking in terms of journalism rather than fiction.

I’ve decided to start running short stories here every Friday, before getting the audio magazine started. Please read the following before submitting:

Hey everybody, I’m moving to Laramie, WY next week. I’m moving down there to be closer to these beautiful people. Laramie’s only a couple hours away from Denver, so I’ll probably be down there a fair amount. Any Technoccultists who want to get together should drop me a comment here.

(Kinda strange to think that I was sitting at this very desk in my parents’ study over 5 years ago when I coded the first version of this site, back when I was still in high school)

Oh, I still don’t have a job down there yet, so any prayers to your god(s) would be appreciated =)

So I made that word mark (the little title thing next to the Aztec god up there) a long time ago on an old computer that’s fried now. And for the life of me I can’t remember what font I used. Does anyone have any clue?

As you may have noticed, I’ve been running Google ads for the past couple months, and have added some Amazon affliate links recently as well. I’m still undecided as to whether these ads are worth the money they make. Traffic has only increased since I started running the ads. Probably because I’ve been better about posting. But I wanted to give you, dear reader, the chance to let me know what you think about this advertising business.

1. Do you mind the ads on Technoccult?

2. Do you read Technoccult on the web or entirely in your feedreader?

3. Do you prefer to read whole feeds in your feedreader, or do you prefer only excerpts?

4. Would you prefer an ad-free exceprt feed to a ad supported full feed?

5. Would you pay a small fee (say, $1 - 5 a year) for an ad-free full feed?

6. If you use a feedreader, which one do you use? (The Cabal counts).

I’m home again, and ready to take the reigns again here at Technoccult. I want to thank Melissa for the great posts she did while I was gone. Be sure to check her out at Sacred Whore. She’ll also be joining us at Key 23, and she might just have another post or two over here.

I’m leaving tomorrow and won’t be back until next month. Melissa Gira the Sacred Whore will be blogging until I get back. Melissa’s a “priestess, artist, writer, multimedia whore, BDSM professional, peepshow girlie, post-pornmongerer.”

Tomorrow I’m heading down south to visit some friends at the University of Wyoming, and will be in NYC from the 15th until the 22nd and Chicago from the 23rd until the 30th. Drop me a line if you’re in the area.

I’m flying to Austin for work on Wednesday July 28th and staying until August 1st. Any readers in the Austin area want to meetup?

I’m also going to be in New York and Chicago for week each sometime in the second half of September, most likely.

More additions, also all long overdue:

Notes from Somewhere Bizarre

Bianca’s Playhouse

Last weekend Technoccult got nailed with a huge spam bomb. And while using Mt-blacklist to try to delete the spam comments, I accidently deleted the last 300 comments from this site and Klintron’s Brain. Ooops. Luckily, I didn’t rebuild the site, so all the comments were still in HTML format. Luckily I found a perl script I found on Movable Type support forums, written by anakin513 and apakuni.

Michael modified the script to work with my files, and I think everything’s in order now. I think I’ve restored all the non-spam and non-troll messages posted since the problem occured, but I’m not sure.

A lot of the category tags got dropped, the permalinks are all ruined, and I might have lost some extended entries along the way.

I plan to move to Word Press in the next week or so, so the permalinks will all change again, so don’t go updating them now. At that point I’ll fix the categories. If you come across an entry that should be an extended entry and isn’t, please leave a comment.

And again, mad props to Michael for getting that Perl script working.

I’ve added a few new people to the blog roll, please welcome: LVX23, Mindwarp, the Invisible College, Dehiscence, and Vortex Egg. Someone really should host all these blogspot blogs. I’d do it, but I’m so flakey about keeping my hosting and domain name registration paid up…

Movable Style is a collection of style sheets that work with the default Movable Type templates and can be simply dropped into Movable Type to change the look.

I’m using Orange Purple for the archives until I have time to do a proper re-design.

I’m back in the states, and though I’m still traveling for the next few weeks, I’ll be posting here again.

Of course, many thanks to Michael and Wes for their amazing posts while I was gone. I still need to catchup on a lot of their posts here, and on their own excellent blogs.

Well, it’s May 31st, which means that Klint is due back from Europe tomorrow. I’d just like to express my appreciation for him letting myself and Wes take control for the past two months. It’s been an excellent experience that has made me more blog-savvvvvvvvy (wanted to make sure I put enough v’s in there).

In addition to Klint, I’d like to thank Wes for a great deal of valuable input, and for having excellent timing when it came to posting during days when I was having blogger’s block.

I’d also like to thank my boss at my real job, for never being in the office to monitor my work productivity. Without his absence, I would have scarcely found enough time.

Klintron here, just noting that I made 2 quick changes… added the category of post to the post itself (shoulda done that a long time ago!), and enabled incoming trackbacks since Wes is actually using the outgoing trackback feature. However, other than the Depsychedelicised Wasteland post, trackbacks aren’t actually enabled on any old posts. New posts will now have trackbacks enabled by default, but old posts will have to be changed by hand when I have the time.

Also, I just wanted to thank Michael and Wes for doing such a wonderful job!

Well, I’m out of here in the morning. I’ll probably still be blogging at Klintron’s Brain.

The technoccult.net migration is in process, I have no idea what sort of odd behavior it may cause. I’m sure problems will arise, and I will try to fix them as they come up. The dot-com URL should continue to be reliable.

And most importantly, I’d like to welcome Michael and Wes to the mic.

Peace,
Klintron

Fixed the RSS feed, added a list of recent comments, and added a mobile version of this site that should work with most cell phones, PDAs, etc.

A few (overdue) permalinks have been added to the sidebar: Discordian Research Technology, Lycurgus, Ollapodrida, Joe Coleman, and Roq La Rue.

Philip’s done a great job, but it’s time for a new voice. In a few minutes, I’m leaving for Burning Man and Sauceruney will take over. Ya’ll be nice to him.
