TC1100 does Manitoba, Canada

Monday, December 26th, 2005

This past Summer I was working and travelling for the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Lynette and I hooked up together in Winnipeg, Manitoba and did some Red River roaming. Besides Winnipeg there was Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. Other trips feature our TC1100’s in Nova Scotia (malignant Cove, Antigonish and more), Bay of Fundy, and the big ocean. And our trips to Malignant Cove and West Pennant (Tablet PC vs. Maritime Gale) and of course Cape Split I and Cape Split II. You can find all of these and other trips in our Travelling Tablet PCs category right here.

Technorati is doing its job

Technorati comes up to the Tabletology.com plate!

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

David Sifry, founder & CEO of Technorati, came up to the plate! He visited Tabletology.com, left a message and personally ensured that Tabletology.com would return to all things Technorati. And it does appear that there is some movement. That feels pretty good and makes me have a bit more faith in Technorati. Thanks David! Also thanks to Warner Crocker for gently pushing the issue and to Niall Kennedy, Community Manager for Technorati for properly reindexing Tabletology into the Technorati machine.

Technorati swallowed Tabletology.com: Case Number #18851

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

We’ve had an account with Technorati since this Tablet PC blog started and Technorati diligently noted our new posts with its various tags. But I noticed that near the end of November 2005 no Tabletology.com posts showed up under the ‘Tablet PC’ or any of our other Technorati tags (Tabletology.com, TC1100, etc). Zero, zip. I have several RSS feeds monitoring tags of interests and while our posts showed up in other feeds, Technorati ones disappeared all together. Also, under the Technorati Blog Finder, Tabletology.com used to feature in the top 10 lists of Tablet PC blogs. Zip, gone, 0.

I wrote an email to Technorati on December 1st 2005 and received a form reply. I then rewrote on December 7th to Technorati saying that I am still waiting for a reply (as they suggested in their initial form reply). It’s December 18th now and haven’t heard a peep from customer support.

I check and rechecked my Technorati account and as far as I can see I have done everything to make sure that Tabletology.com is properly claimed and processed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey James Kendrick, give us your Tablet PC!

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Hey James Kendrick, we’re thinking of taking a Tablet PC out for a little workout! You know hang it over some cliff or hold up the Tablet PC in a Maritime gale. We know you were quite specific about not loaning your TC1100 but we thought that perhaps you’ve changed your mind? We figured your Tablet PC is yearning for a taste of this wild and wooly Nova Scotia weather (see jpg, courtesy of Environment Canada). But where is the Tablet PC in the Canadian shallow fog?
