Posturing From My New Chair

After months of sitting on my computer on a backless settee, I began to realize that my back has a spinal cord, and that it's made up of individual vertebrae.

But that's not what this is about. While my new chair does indeed improve my posture, this is a new posturing using Posterous.com.

I am writing this email using Gmail, sending it to post@posterous.com and attaching the photo of my new chair. After I hit the send button, I sit back in my chair.

I expect Posterous will:

  • Post this email and the photo to my Posterous blog http://socialgeek.posterous.com
  • Post my photo to my Flickr photo stream
  • Post my photo to my Picasa web albums
  • Post this update to my Facebook account (I want to see how it does that, whether it just links, or uploads the photo, etc.)
  • Post this email and photo to my Wordpress.com blog - An Unquiet Mind
  • Post this update to my Friendfeed, which will then tweet an update on Twitter as @SocialGeek
  • Post this update as a tweet on Twitter as @Palsule

Just 1 Email. Now, let's see how it works!

    Mahen­dra:

    Well I can cer­tainly see the post­ing to your blog worked. But my com­ment doesn’t relate to that. I momen­tar­ily envied the space on your shelves. I believe that in my move over 2 years ago, my books repro­duced. Despite adding a new book case, I have 7 unopened boxes (con­tain­ing my favourite books, natch) and I have a few hun­dred books piled atop a shorter book case. When I see space, I feel sad for my books. :-(

    Hi,

    I did not want to know about the pos­tur­ing , but was struck by your shelf.

    Mahen­dra,

    Cool indeed that one email can do all this!! But what are those audio cas­settes still doing in the room of so “in tune” with leading-edge tech­nolo­gies ;-) ?

    Maybe you need to buy a primer on human anatomy first! :-)

    I actu­ally stopped buy­ing books a few years back because of that rea­son. Some­times, I let the temp­ta­tion get over me, but most times, I am able to resist.

    Dozens of my books have dis­ap­peared after lend­ing them.

    When we fur­nished our new home in ’06, I wanted to make sure I had ample space for books. So far, so good. :)

    Thank you. :)

    I don’t know whether you’re talk­ing about the books in the shelf or the shelf itself, in which case, I should men­tion that it was made by my own uncle.

    My grand­fa­ther used to teach car­pen­try in school and my uncle car­ried on his fur­ni­ture busi­ness — so we get qual­ity fur­ni­ture made accord­ing to our own tastes. :)

    I stopped buy­ing two years ago too with a stray pur­chase here and there. But I never lend. And I never bor­row. But I think there will never be ample space for books. That is all I buy. :-/

    Arun,

    Those audio cas­settes con­tain a treasure-trove of music dif­fi­cult, if not impos­si­ble, to get on CDs. Despite writ­ing about How to Con­vert Audio Cas­settes & LPs to MP3s, I still haven’t con­verted my own col­lec­tion! :)
