    No Moar Tweeks Plz! DO NOT WANT

    ARGH. I DO NOT WANT to go through that again. Well, if you would like to click the PHOTOS link on the menu to the upper left, you will see that I finally got Flickr Photo Album by Joe Tan configured to play pretty well with my current theme, WP-Andreas01-12 for WordPress. It was… not a pretty process. With David’s help, I had to edit or have him edit several files, have him delete a line of code so that only my own sets are “fetched” from Flickr, and not every public group I belong to, fix a persistent bug that’s been…

    Junk Fax (Printer)

    This is the closest approximation I can find to what was "liberated" for me at work:   It needs a power cord (though there may be one already at the desk it's at that fits) and probably needs new ink cartridges. No telling if it works – would need a phone/data cable to attempt to hook it up. The pillager who found it for me mentioned in passing that the "fax part is busted." We'll see about that once I get a chance to find the online documentation.   Buy supplies for Officejet 6110 direct from the HP Home &…

    She Wore Blue Velvet

    This little item caught my eye:   CW Blog: Irregular Blogging by Irregular Writers …: Urning Potential Evidently, the editors at the Provo Daily Herald have realized how useless online surveys are and have just whimsically started asking whatever nonsense questions pop into their heads. Here’s this week’s bizarre poll: Which statement best describes your view on cremation? ( ) Makes resurrection difficult; cremation should be avoided ( ) Cremation should be encouraged; God doesn’t care … because, of course, there are people in the United States who, after much thought, have realized that cremation is just a huge incovenience…

    Testing ecto 2.3.3 – a later revision for YouTube

    Okay, according to Alex at the excellent ecto support forum, he probably uploaded a fix for the YouTube problem right after I downloaded the previous revision. So: the search function works, and I’ve already seen the warning that says it won’t display in the edit window, but would be visible in the preview window. However, it isn’t. Why not? Try publishing and see what happens. The point is trying to get videos show up in Bloglines, though, so I think I still have to put in enclosure tags. Object has been resized to 300px wide X 245 high in the…

    Where the big Akinola/Minns Event Was Held

    Welcome to the Hylton Memorial Chapel Hylton Memorial Chapel is a nondenominational Christian Event Center that opened in 1995. The facility does not accommodate a local church or congregation on a regular basis. It seats nearly 3500. The facility was designed to host large Christian events and facilitate renewal throughout the region. Whoa – a gigantic thing like that, and there's no regular services there? What a strange  concept to someone like me, who's been on the Bishop's Committees of more than one small, underfinanced mission parish. All this money that evangelicals throw at ginormous facilities just boggles my mind,…

    ecto 2.3.3 and YouTube

    Well, I don’t know if ecto can help with YouTube videos showing in my feed, or if I should use WordPress’ custom field for that. Guess not, at least for now: And the WordPress custom field didn’t work for me either, though I know nothing about how to use it. I do know that the automatic enclosure WP used to wrap around media URLs is reportedly not working for some people, though I don’t know much about that either. I suppose this latest version of ecto – 2.3.3 – has some other nifty features that I’ll discover later. All my…
