  • New Look for Blather de la Semaine - December 29th, 2005

    • I stumbled upon this new theme while doing some updates to the On30Guy web site over at Wordpress.com. It’s a good deal more customizable (and more easily customized) than most, and it plays reasonably well with the galleries (which, you may notice, are missing — they’ll be back before the day’s out). I should have [...]

  • Another Round of Tires? - December 28th, 2005

    • Here we go … again!
    It’s another Wednesday morning her a the Mortensen mansion, and yet another flat tire on the Cavvie. This is the car, BTW, that needs almost $1K worth of fuel injector work (that it’s not getting — the damned thing isn’t even worth more than $2K in excellent shape — which it’s [...]

  • Aggregation Aggrivation - December 27th, 2005

    • Just about the time I thought I had those RSS feeds on the Aggregations page straight, Rob went and reinvented his wheel again. Now, he’s added a photoblog and a metablog. On top of that, he’s got a flickr photostream.

  • Serendipity Not - December 27th, 2005

    • I spent (read wasted) a couple of hours this evening playing with a blogging system called Serendipity. While I’m quite certain that it’s got some great things going for it — really, it does — it’s got some serious growing pains to overcome before it’s anywhere near ready for prime time.
    Things I really liked [...]

  • Google Blog Search - December 27th, 2005

    • Google’s Blog Search is a pretty cool thing. For instance, here’s a list of model railroad-related blog entries.

    • There’s a Way!

    Even in a war zone, these guys are building a model railroad!

    Boys will be boys where trains are concerned, even in Baghdad
    While shopping the Internet for model train supplies (cheap) I came across photos from Lt. [...]

  • A Couple of Updates - December 27th, 2005

    • Here are a couple of late Christmas presents for you: I’ve added a couple of feeds to the Aggregations page, and there are some new members of the Photostreams.
    I’ve added feeds for Rob’s Kitchen Kinesis, Turbonerd and My Big Ol’ Soapbox sites. And, I’ve added btezra to my contacts at flickr. His latest images are [...]

  • Gettin’ the Hang of Gmail - December 22nd, 2005

    • As I mentioned the other day, I’ve switched all of my e-mail to Gmail.
    As I get the hang of Gmail’s storage and organizational methods, I like it more and more! Threaded messages are stored as “conversations,” and those with the most recent activity bubble to the top. Others drift down the list as [...]

  • The Big Print … A Caveat - December 22nd, 2005

    • They say the camera never lies. But the truth is, it’s the print that never lies. The camera itself can lie like the biggest of dogs.
    Being able to print an 11×14 in house is awesome. But it’s amazing how a print can look really, really crisp on screen or as an 8×10. But pump that [...]
