Do you ever read the news and wonder if it’s all a big joke? It’s happening more and more often with me. The US Government is fighting to keep meatpackers from checking more meat for mad cow The US Government set up a news station in the Middle East, more or less for spewing our [...]

I’m not sure how many people are reading these right now, and I’m not yet sure if these posts will stay, but I’ll post this anyway… I was thinking tonight, driving home, about two political issues that really bother me. The first is abortion. I’ve had kind of mixed feelings about it, and still change [...]

I was reading this, and left wondering a few things: Why am I only finding this article on news sites I’ve never heard of? (It’s on the White House’s site, so it’s real.) Assuming that there’s no wrongdoing here, why is this necessary? It sounds like it’s superceding another similar bill that requires Congressional oversight. [...]

This is really more of a note to myself than anything, since I’m leaving in about 15 minutes, but here goes… I think the most-recent-posts  plugin (?) is what I need. (There’s a link to an updated one.) It looks like it only gets titles, though, rather than displaying actual posts, which is what I [...]

When I play board games, I like to think about what’d happen if you changed the rules. For example: Tic-Tac-Toe, played on a 2×2 grid, is utterly pointless. Tic-Tac-Toe, played on a 4×4 grid, is not too fun. 3×3 is probably a better size. What happens in Connect 4 if you allow each player to [...]

I ‘tweaked’ the theme a bit, and wanted to plug a few things I like: Users with the font Myriad Pro Light installed will find that the headers look very, very nice. I’m not 100% sure how I came to have this font, as it’s most popular on Macs, but, for those who have it, [...]

For members: Click “Profile,” and then enable the Visual editor. It’s much nicer. And I’m one who usually writes HTML by hand. Check out this article at SFGate, which answers the question “how come there are so many people out on the street all day, seemingly not working?” Also check out this neat story, about [...]

I think my goal tomorrow is going to be to make this work properly with multiple users. Mr. T and I have been playing around with WP, but there’s no per-user interface. I changed the theme again. Do you guys like this one better? I have it in the back of my head that it’d [...]

Since I can’t comment, I’ll post it here: to view (or comment on) a password-protected post, we need to know the password with which it was published, not our password. Ergo, unless we know your password, we’re left wondering what you said. (Unless we have root access to the database, in which case we could [...]

The user interface seems nice. I haven’t been able to figure out how to configure Windows Live Writer to work with it yet but I imagine that will happen at some point. I don’t have access to create catagories. I think that one thing we should have is a catagory for everyone with an account. [...]
