  • Squawk! An Update - June 30th, 2007

    • For those interested, the little Gray Cockatiel pictured on the site the other day is now happily perched on the top of my laptop screen, watching me type.
    We don’t have a name yet, and we haven’t a clue whether it’s a little boy bird, or a little girl bird. But, it was hand fed, so, [...]

  • WLW Problem Fixed - June 26th, 2007

    • Thanks to the great support desk at ICDSoft, my problem using Windows Live Writer has been resolved. Seems that they’ve seen a wave of exploits against sites that use the method of updating that WLW and WordPress use to exchange site information, so, they simply blocked all access to the files on their servers. They’re [...]

  • Squawk! and Zip! - June 26th, 2007

    • We went to the usual pet emporium to pick up some cat food for Darjha, because he’s become a finicky eater all of the sudden, and some chemicals for the aquarium.
    As usual, we looked at the other critters they generally have around — cats for adoption, fish, rodentia and birds. This one, a which [...]

  • A New Religion - June 24th, 2007

    • I mentioned yesterday that we bought Donna all new kit, as far as photo gear goes. The most amazing piece of all that stuff is the Canon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS USM lens. The key to all it’s photographic goodness are those two little letters, IS. Working with that lens allowed both of us to get [...]

  • Now, Why’d That Happen?!? - June 24th, 2007

    • We’ve been using Windows Live Writer for posting to the web site, and I, at least, really like the way it works. Or rather, worked. For some reason, we’ve suddenly started getting a “(403) Forbidden” error when trying to post to the site. What I don’t remember is whether or not I’ve posted using Live [...]

  • Cool In-Post Slide Show - June 24th, 2007

    • Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
    I just found this really cool flickr slide show inserter called flickrslidr. All ya gotta do is go to the site, fill in the requested information, click the button, and copy-n-paste the provided code. What could be easier?!?

  • Another Canon for our Arsenal - June 23rd, 2007

    • We made an excursion to see our friend Don at Penn Camera today, with the idea of getting Donna switched over to a Canon before our heavy (?) wedding schedule starts. The plan was to put Donna’s hands on everything — and mine, too — to develop a little bit of a strategy for future [...]

  • Ain’t It The Truth - June 21st, 2007

    • I myself am made entirely of flaws,
    stitched together with good intentions.

    • Those of you who’ve known me a while know that, for a long time, I’ve been fascinated by an instrument called a Chapman Stick. Well, check out this guy:
