I have done it. I have taken control of my online existence. I have fed the ouroboros his tail. The circle is completed. I am now able to post audio, video, photos, and text to Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal, and my own blog all at one go. No muss, no fuss, easy as I please from anywhere in the world with cell phone towers. Additionally, I can post to just some places or groups of places or filter what I post at those places. And no damn expensive data plan necessary!
Ever see the movie Hackers? When Cereal Killer is broadcasting on the hacker network and he says “I kinda feel like God” … yes, that is kinda how I feel right now.
Woo hoo!!! I have Posterous to thank for it. Great service, and I hope it lasts. Why, I think I’d even pay a little every month to use it, but for now, it’s FREE. How cool is that? I did have a few problems getting it all set up, but once I did, it all worked like a charm, as evidenced by the previously posted photo of Sasha that went absolutely everywhere at once. Everywhere … at once.
With all that said, it’s highly likely I will be terribly annoying today as I try things out with all my new god-like posting abilities. I doubt I will end up doing massive crossposting from my phone too much once the newness wears off, seeing as I am so infrequently out and about and wanting to post things, but now I freaking CAN, if the mood strikes. I really can’t tell you how excited I am about this. I’ve been trying to get this all worked out for ages.
In other news, I had to log into the T-Mobile web site to get some information, and that was when I noticed that our phone bill wasn’t lower as it was supposed to be when our new contract kicked in. Somehow, they are screwing us on the family plan messaging. I thought we had that straightened out, but now it looks like maybe they canceled our unlimited family messaging altogether while simultaneously charging us for unlimited messaging (in a really odd way). There isn’t much we can do about it until the next bill comes out and we finally see what the hell they have done. I expect there will be some kind of insane muddle involving speaking to idiots at customer service when all is said and done. I do love the T-Mobile service. It’s very reliable and works everywhere I need it to work, but their billing department seems to be staffed by monkeys on heroin.
And now I think I’ll have my second cup of coffee, a little breakfast, and make out the shopping list. Even though I slept very poorly last night and would really not go shopping today, we need some of those things that are total requirements for continued existence. I’ll just have to caffeinate myself as much as possible, get the shopping done as quickly as possible, and then … a nice nap (or two).
The only problem I have at the moment is that I haven’t figured out how to attach categories to the Posterous crossposts at LJ and my blog, but if it’s possible, I’m sure I’ll eventually figure out how.
