Jason Pearce

This is my first mblog (mobile-blog) posted from my Treo 600. I’m using AvantBlog for this post. This is only a test.

I feel so special. Google invited me to try out its new Gmail, a free email service that offers up to one gigabyte of space. I received the invitation for being a long-time Blogger, one of Google’s subsidiaries.

I’m thrilled to begin trying it out. More so, I’m thrilled that I get to lock in jasonpearce@ as my username/email address before anyone else takes it. I know, greedy me.

I’ll post some feedback on the service one I’ve tested it out a bit.

Since my bookmarklets didn’t port too well over to bookmarks.yahoo.com, I wanted to leave myself a note as to where I can find and download these tools when I arrive at Lambda Chi

• Web Development Bookmarklets
• The rest of Jesse’s Bookmarklets
• Favelets
• Bookmarklets
• Sitepoint’s Better Living Through Bookmarklets

The web development bookmarklets in particular are quite useful in dissecting a CSS page.

Also learned about the W3C’s Log Validator today. Sounds like a really cool tool.

According to their site, the tool takes a web server’s last logs and processes it through validation modules. Those validation modules check the most popular documents’ validity for a certain technology, like (X)HTML validation, for example. Doing so helps me find the most popular pages on my site that are invalid, and thus tell me which (invalid) pages I should fix first.

I’m sold. One more thing to add to my “How to Fix Lambda Chi Alpha’s Web Site” list.

Now that I have an iPod, I’ve been wanting to clean up my mp3 tags. Thanks to TechTV, I think I just found the right tool for the job:

TechTV: Edit, copy, and convert ID3 tags across an entire folder of MP3s

To fill in a missing ID3 tag, you can use Winamp or another MP3 player to manually enter the info, track by track. Or you can try today’s free file. MP3 Tag Tools lets you label a multitude of MP3s quickly and easily.
