I thought it was April showers…

Please change your language usage

It seems that the words ‘traditional’ and ‘conventional’ are too charged. I suggest using ‘old-tyme’ (pronounced ‘old time-ee’) instead of either word. It’ll always leave a smile on the face of who you are talking to and not the offense of the other words.

Day off == New Theme

So, I’ve wanted to make some changes to my Wordpress theme for awhile.  The biggest one was to add my del.icio.us tags to the page.  I’m not sure why I wanted to do this, but I did.  A few months ago Dave posted about his switchover to sandbox and some other tweaks he [...]

The Shroud of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Recently, I took a trip to middle IL, and found a physical clue to the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  Much like the Shroud of Turin, this simple linen cloth bears the image of the FSM.  It shows appendages similar to his Noodly Appendage, and a where The Meatera rested above them.

The camera in the [...]

STEPHEN DRONE

Stephen Drone: right wing on politics, left wing on porn. What’s up with that?

News items that blew my mind

In my reading of the Trib this morning, I came across two articles that blew my mind.
On the front page was: For sale: Trailer w/ocean vu, $1 million obo
So wonderfully Californian, Marsha Weidman’s home has it all–along the beach, far from noisy traffic, with a Jacuzzi used to watch sunsets over the Pacific.
For this, she [...]

Small wordpress buglet

Let’s say you’re not sending referer headers somehow, such as setting network.http.sendRefererHeader to 0 in Firefox. Then let’s say you start work on writing a blog post. With this setup, clicking on the Save and Continue Editing button will give you a nice fat blank screen. Luckily, your post is saved, but [...]
