We’ve changed. MOCSL is now Folksemantic.
So I can’t seem to get my wikipedia entry on Folksemantic to stick. I’m doing something wrong. The moderator gods there keep deleting it, and I’m starting to feel a bit de-motivated to contribute to that community. Moderation by unknown beings…the best way to kill participation in your community. That’s probably fine for wikipedia because they have so many entries.
So we put up a work in progress website for the MOCSL tools.
You can see just what it is that we do around here.
Today I designed the homepage for Annorate, analyzed data from Ozmozr (there may be post forthcoming regarding what I find… if I remember to do it), scheduled a photographer for the wedding, and am in the midst of writing my paper for AERA (which is horribly overdue, I believe). I have one hour until 5:00. I thought I’d take tomorrow off to get ready to move on Saturday. Guess that’s not going to happen. I still have to stop by the medical supply store, pack up my home office, clean the bathrooms, and the kitchen cupboards tonight. Good thing my internet and cable have been disconnected for my impending move. I could use a hand.
I suppose I should feel stressed, but it’s just too lovely outside. I’m wearing flip-flops and that makes me happy. I could use a pedicure, to be honest.
Rob asked me to marry him this weekend 
I said yes, of course, and haven’t taken the ring off since Saturday, even though it is too big. I suppose I’ll have to take it off to get it sized, but I’m putting it off. My friend Jim mentioned that it was a bit backwards… buying a house before getting engaged, but it just worked out that way. Rob and I are as happy as is possible I suppose. I’d highly recommend engagement to anyone contemplating it.
I’m moving out of my apartment on Saturday. Rob’s birthday is on Sunday and it is Easter. We’ll go to my parent’s for dinner. Monday I check out of my apartment and Tuesday I fly out to Chicago for AERA. I’m the secretary/treasurer for SIG ATL/EST so we’ll have a business meeting and several sessions to podcast through the week. I’m presenting some research on Ozmozr in Friday. Which, I’d like to mention, was accepted by SIG IT. The proposal on the MOCSL tools I submitted to ATL/EST was brutally ignored Other than AERA business, I intend to visit the Robie House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses, sing karaoke with Anne and Krista, and eat lots of pizza.
The following Monday I’ll fly back to Utah to sign papers on the house and then turn around and get on a plane to San Francisco for Web 2.0. This is the first conference I’ve attended in over 2 years that I’m NOT presenting at. I get to be a participant. Attend sessions. Network. Etc. I can’t wait. And of course, shop in Chinatown. I’m pretty sure I’ll not have time for Alcatraz (again) but one day I will.
Then I get to come home finally. We’ll paint the house and move stuff from the garage into the house. I expect that I’ll be ready to sit still for a bit after that, and maybe pick out flowers for my wedding
So we’ve got a Makeapath released. You can sequence web pages. I did one for travel 2.0, one on how to become a web 2.0 rock star, and one on the American Civil War. Go get an account and make some paths (those links may break if I get Justin to fix the URLs in Makeapath, so let me know if they don’t work).
The relationships between web pages are stored in our relationship/folksemantic web tool called scrumdidilyumpito.us. If you really want to see what these tools will do, install greasemonkey into Firefox, and then didilysquat (on the didily homepage) you can see all the relationships to any given web page. Then look at the Civil War path on makeapath and you’ll see other relationships I built into that path.
