Projects Update

My various web ventures continue to proliferate:

  • Obey Saget, a project I’ve wanted to get off the ground for about 5 years, is finally ready to go. I made this graphic to promote Bob Saget’s appearance in The BJ Show at Harvard in 2001, and we made up a small batch of shirts. I still wear mine all the time and when people ask where they can get one of their own I used to have to tell them that we ran out. But now there is an unlimited supply available through Spreadshirt.

    And it’s not just t-shirts. I have all kinds of products. You can even get a messenger bag.
  • Some serious drama went down over at Truth @ 15 Frames Per Second today. Penny found out Sean was recording their webcam conversations and posting them on the Internet, including their horrifying attempt at webcam sex. She was not very happy.
  • Tifaux, the TV blog I started with Maggie, is going strong. We’re developing our style and growing a regular audience of TV addicts.

Trouble is Over

I’ve recovered kylegilman.net from a disappearing web host. Believe it or not, there are disreputable hosts out there, and sometimes their servers go down with no warning and they don’t answer their emails. You get what you pay for I guess. Anyway, never use Plughost.com because I’m fairly certain they stopped paying their bills a long time ago, but they continue to take orders on their website. Shady.

Some software

I’m not much of a programmer, but I was developing this website recently and I ran into a problem with the way it created enclosures for podcasting and I got so upset I went out and wrote this plugin. If you do any podcasting using WordPress I think you’ll enjoy it.

Podcast!

Will wonders never cease? Apparently you can subscribe to my “pod” “cast” feed using iTunes which will automatically download videos that I make available through it. Then you can sync it with your iPod and watch them on the subway (assuming you don’t live in New York. We don’t have subways this week)

The feed URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/kylegilman which you can subscribe to in iTunes by clicking on the “Advanced” menu and selecting “Subscribe to Podcast” Copy the address into the little box that opens up and you’re on your way.

or this button might work:

Right now there are two short pieces on the feed, but I’m hoping to add all of my movies once I get a better host who can handle all that data. Don’t subscribe from a dialup connection unless you like waiting. (Sorry Mom)

My first music video!

I just finished my first music video. Check it out!

If you’re like most people, you might not have the new version of QuickTime. Sorry to make you do this, but you’ll need it to play this movie.

The good news is you should be able to play this on the Video iPod you’re getting for Christmas. So use this link to save it. I think that will work anyway. It’s a new thing, and my iPod Shuffle doesn’t even have a screen, so I’m a little behind.

If you like the music, check out Hartley’s website or buy his EP.

Coney Island Film Festival schedule

Two Night Stand will screen at the Coney Island Film Festival on Sunday October 2 at 3pm at the Coney Island Museum 1208 Surf Ave. Also the day before on Saturday the 1st at 7pm, Jennie Tarr makes a reportedly brief appearance in Hot Lunch, a movie that was shot nearly 4 years ago. I may even have a cameo as an extra in a bar scene. Neither of us has seen it so we don’t know for sure.
