Tumblr

Read this paragraph at least! I'm trying out a new blogging service. Please visit it and add it to your RSS readers. This new blog may be a permanent thing. Trep Cosmo: Metaverse Explorer

A few days after my last post a web site was dropped in my lap. It's called Tumblr. They've got a really neat take on blogging. The back-end interface is very simple. There's a dashboard that links to the types of posts you can make.



This is a very cool way of doing things because webloggers often make different types of posts. And with Tumblr there are very specific forms for the posts. The engine also allows each type of post to be customized individually in the template. Very cool!

The bottom line here is that Tumblr is a very simple site to use. I think I may just enjoy using it. This blog will stay alive. There are too many legacy posts that I don't want to get rid of. But if I decide to stay with Tumblr, then this blog will only recieve one more post.

It's been fun. But life requires change every now and then. I've started a ball of change and it's only growing. See you on the other side.

Back on the Air

I still have readers! It's a miracle! You know what else is a miracle? I'm starting to make a comeback to SL. Which means it's time to start posting again!



Now don't be scared, there has been a slight change to my avatar. I felt like a change needed to be made to get me inspired to come back. And I must say, the change has opened up a lot of exploration so far. I've found some awesome shops, but since this isn't a fashion blog (too many of those as it is) I won't bore you with details unless I find something incredible or people ask for fashion posts.

Here's shopping list of what I'm looking for to help me revive this blog:

• I would like a new place to put the images I use here. Photobucket just isn't really cutting it anymore. I'm thinking I might switch to Flickr, but I'm not so sure I want to connect a real life account to my SL account.


• Should I stick with Blogger or switch over to something more sophisticated like Wordpress? Or do you know some other service that might work even better?


• I need a new blog skin! Plain white is unique and all, but it's time for a fresh look.
• 
  
• More places to explore. The grid has grown so much since I've been in hiding. I need to know where to go. Send your ideas to the e-mail link at the bottom of this post. Or just leave a comment.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. If you can think of anything that would help improve viewership of this blog, then by all means let me know.

Spread the word, Trep Cosmo is back!

Clicky here to e-mail me

Edit: Bah, stupid Blogger won't let me use javascript in my posts. Oh well, just have to use a dumber way of encoding the e-mail address to hide it from spammers.

Frozen

So apparently I still have readers! I just checked Analytics and it shows visits to this blog! I honestly can't believe it. I don't see any dots in Arizona or New Mexico (*cough* Bracey *cough*) but I guess it's been too long and even my die-hard fans are going away.

So, welcome new people I haven't met yet.

To close out this short post, I want to apologize if your RSS readers freak out cause I updated something and it may have sent out multiple reposts. And I'm alive and frozen in sunny Maine.

Trep Cosmo to Become a Public Commodity

Whatever rumors you've heard are wrong. I'm still alive. Oh don't sound so disappointed! I've had a rough time maintaining my web presence lately. Mostly because I'm hooked on World of Warcraft. I can't guarantee that'll change any time soon either. My hunter's at 33 now, almost over the 30-40 hump. And, I've got a shaman all lined up once Alarine hits 70.

There will be no apologies or promises in this post. I'm done making those online. They've done me no good in the past, and I doubt anyone's listened to them. No, what I'm here for is something far more sinister. If I've got anybody still reading this thing, you all know I've kept Trep Cosmo separate from the "real" me. That's going to change in the future.

(insert odd segue)

You know how drama shows always have that one shocking statement that doesn't make sense at first, but then just before the season ends they reveal the truth in an obvious way? Yeah, here's your confusingly shocking statement (some of you have already pirated the last episode of the season and understand): Trep Cosmo is real.

I got to thinking about my web presence today while updating my MySpace. Of all the aliases I've had on the Internet, Trep Cosmo is the only one that's googleable. Hell, there's more results for "Trep Cosmo" than for my real name "Rumplestiltskin" maybe? :)

In my MySpace post I talked about experimenting in connecting my entire life to the Internet. I think Treppy may play a pivotal role in this because she's so big. So! To close, coming soon to the somewhat far future: Trep Cosmo: Live!

Daaang

A month since the last post. I apologize y'all! I sorta had my depression sneak up on me and slam me to the ground for a little while. I'm working on it though! Been talking with someone every week for the last few weeks.

Anywho, got me a new hobby! Geocaching! It's pretty fun so far. My girl and I went and found our first cache up at Deception Pass this week! Look! Here it is: Goose Rock (GCC7BF)

Find the cache and maybe find Treppy's real name! ZOMG!

Anywho, I can't wait till her family comes up and we have a car that week so we can do more searching!

Oh one last thing. I apologize to my Eve peeps. I sorta dumped all my online gaming stuff en mass. It's an attempt to get my spending under control. I've even cut my DVD buying budget! ZOMG! I'm gonna die! No wait, that's why I picked up Netflix. Whew.

Miss y'all if anyone even reads this thing anymore!

Wii Play

Hi everyone! No apologies this time. I'm too happy in RL with the lovely Elisa. I just thought I'd pop in to point out a cool looking game for the Wii that y'all might be interested in. It's called MySims. Check out the preview and images and stuff. It's pretty neat looking. Can't wait for my Wii and huge TV to get here.

Egads

I'm finding it rather funny how a new love(er) in RL can take me so far away from the things I used to love. The really funny part is that I really don't care that it's happening! I'm in luuuurve!



I swear I haven't been on my computer for more than 30 minutes a day ever since I met her.

Anywho. Just wanted to share with y'all. I had more to say but then I got distracted by the picture. Oh yesm, the thing about not being on the computer may change cause her schedule may be changing next week so we won't have a lot of time together (sad :( ).

P.S. Ignore some of the faults in that image (if you can see them). I don't have access to Photoshop so I can't fix it.
