MTHacks’ MT Smileys This might be the next thing to tackle. Unlike other smileys packages I’ve looked at, it accomplishes things with includes and macros. Clickable, too. Hmm. However, I was hoping to use some square smileys that come in a range of colors that I ran across somewhere, so more thinking is needed.

Previously: Well, there are no previouslys, except in the sense that the entire episode is nothing but a string of previouslys, so it’s not clear that anything can be considered to be the previouslys to what happened previously. Look at me, bending time and space. You can thank me later when the pizza that you order on Thursday arrives on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Alli attempts to deal with the time paradox posed by a TAR clip show depicting events that happened months ago, but they’re new to us so we’re all exercised and outaged over assy-brat behavior now. So where’s…

Announcing Innocents: A Blog, a webblog for Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. If you take a look at it, you’ll see that there are static content pages off of the “breadcrumbs” menu, corresponding to pages on the “main” church website. In the next few days, I will gradually be shifting all of the content over from there into Moveable Type (MT). And not using Front Page (MS). Ever again. And yes, I’ve been a-hankering to do this for a while. I’ve decided that the blog part of the site will be integral; categories will be used for blog-like entries for things…

Welcome, Isaac Newton Westminster Abbey Tomb Hunters of 2005! The picture and description you are looking for is here. Yes, I’m procrastinating on the damn travel journal for a bit longer. At least now I can deal with the images a little better than when I started.

Another year, another milestone, another period of hapless casting about for something interesting to blog about. When faced with this problem, many of us turn to our stats pages for a little navel-gazing. And what better time than on New Year's Day? Just who are the robots, spiders, and visitors who drop by? Naturally, any good stats page includes information about connections from other sites. This is usually where the spam hits the fan – a lot of the links turn out to be for C-list sleb porn and for hosting services and info-harvesters. Now and then, though, there's an…

The earthquake/tsunami disaster just keeps getting worse and worse. Many people and sites are working to get aid workers, donations and supplies out, and refugees, survivor messages, and information back. BoingBoing has been covering the relief effort extensively. The IRC has got a family contact database and also a disaster clearinghouse. Google has a special link to disaster relief organisations, websites, and blogs. When the first wave came in, we were happy that we were seeing something that was really strange, but it was a very mild wave. Then the sea receded back, and we didn’t know what that meant.…

I’ve been chuckling evilly while reading this book; Bill Bryson looks very cuddly and teddy-bear-ish, but writes like a born-again curmudgeon. He’s just about to start the West portion of his self-drive nostalgia trip, headed toward Colorado. Which is pretty much how we started our epic road trip last May, so I’m looking forward to going along for the ride. Also in “Books” news, I’ve added links to my All Consuming Favorite Books and Currently Reading pages. Apparently both pages have newsfeeds, so I may add links for those later. For now I’ll continue using BookQueue in conjunction with All…

I was sitting up reading last night when all of a sudden a storm hit – there was no warning other than a lot of wind earlier in the day – and it rained and thundered for about an hour or so. When there’s a storm the wind will beat on the whole house like a drum. I figured today would be a big rainy mess, but it’s actually very warm and balmy. The sun is out and everything is fresh and clean, although the wind is still blowing strongly from the South. If the wind swings around to the…

Currently struggling to get BookQueueToo implemented. It doesn’t seem to want to work with MT2.661, but works well with MT3.x etc. Other places to check: MT Plugins Amazon Web Services Blog WYSIWYG, with a helpful hint about which folder/directory it should be in. I ended up uninstalling BookQueue, BookQueueToo, RE-installing BQ2, and then uninstalling it and trying to reinstall the original BQ. With me so far? The books are still showing up on the blog, but now I can’t access the old interface, probably because David needs to re-set the permissions on the original version. Fooey, I don’t want to…
