I just let loose a long rant in a thread on WordPress.org’s support section. I thought I’d throw it out here for the masses. Basically, the topic came up of using blogging software for an online forum, and I was chastised by another for discouraging the use of a blog as a forum. [...]
My new hard drive is finally being used, but not how I’d like. Despite my best efforts, and the use of some otherwise reliable hard drive companies’ software, I was not able to convert my new drive over to the boot drive (C:) with a valid image of the original hard drive. The [...]
No, this is not a thoughtful analysis of societal dependencies on technology. That’s a topic more suited to the Science and Technology Studies class that I took at RPI. A course, which, despite its name and its host institution, was basically a tech-slighting course taught by leftists who would have blended in better [...]
Especially for you resolution sickos… here’s a couple of 1600×1200 wallpapers. On the right is On the Golden Pond by Rob Randtoul. On the left is Caustic Reticulation by Joe Price. As a matter of note, the wallpaper Indigo I had posted before (Lazy Saturday) is also 1600×1200. As always, if [...]
This website page, www.olsenhome.com/gif, was recently all over the blogosphere and I thought I’d link to it here. Anyone who uses a ‘puter is bound to come across a gif file. But so many people don’t know what to call it… is it a hard ‘g’ like gift, or a soft one like [...]
Here is a PowerPoint presentation that I compiled to present a sampling of what Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) can do for web presentation and overall site design. This is intended to provide just enough information to give somebody who is somewhat HTML-exposed but possibly CSS-unlearned a taste of what it’s all about. I have [...]
OLD_TEXT = ‘It’s not perfect… but here it is… the new site theme. ’
NEW_TEXT = ‘ARRrrggh! ‘
Okay, for a few hours my new site theme was actually honestly and truly up. However, the thought of popping it up one last time in other browsers to check it (before I went [...]
Fonts are like outfits… you try to choose something individual but in the end we all have to look pretty much the same most of the time. Business attire for the office… business fonts for the office communications. I always try to get away with a Kidprint memo here or there… or maybe [...]
Currently listening, playing, reading and watching. Those are the new tidbits in my sidebar (in this current theme the sidebar is the vertical section to your immediate right… and will be very light gray if there is content). I have installed a convenient plugin call CG-PowerPack written by David Chait. I will [...]
On the blogging front, I completed my Contact page and learned a little about ways to obfuscate my email address from annoying spam-bots. A rudimentary web search will yield mucho hits on protecting yourself from spam scum. Here are three that represented common ways to skin this donkey.
This article, verplant.org/obfumail.shtml, shows how to [...]
I like it! thanks…..:))
