This blog is sort of a lifestream, but I recently set up something even lifestreamier: JohnPasden.com.

If you’re friend or family, feel no pressure to visit it regularly. It’s something I set up very quickly which required very little work on my part and no ongoing maintenance.

You might want to visit it to:

• see what new posts I’ve written lately on either this blog or Sinosplice
• see what I’ve been writing lately on Twitter (short, random stuff)
• see what photos I’ve posted to Flickr lately
• see what I’ve been linking to on Delicious
• see what music I’ve been listening to

If you’re curious about the tech side, this is all I did to set it up:

1. Install a new WordPress blog through DreamHost one-click installs.
2. Add the SimpleLife WP plugin.
3. (Replace the SimplePie.inc file included in the plugin with a newer one to eliminate a plugin activation error)
4. Pick a simple theme from one of the dozens DreamHost installs come with.
5. Do a quick edit of the WordPress index.php to replace the normal blog functions with the SimpleLife function.
6. Configure the SimpleLife plugin through the WordPress admin (this step probably took the longest).

Done! Let me know if you ever use this. I’m expecting this plugin to get a lot better as lifestreaming becomes more popular. I’ll just wait for that to happen, rather than customizing it myself.
