We’ve had a spell of very windy weather, and it looks like there finally might be a storm coming. For 3 days now, we’ve had high, warm winds blowing steadily from the West. Until yesterday the skies were clear, but today it’s steadily gotten greyer, and the clouds are starting to pile up on one another and look like something’s about to happen. We haven’t had much rain, so I haven’t put out the other two rain barrels; I need to get some blocks to raise them up abot a foot or so, and also they would just fly away,…

Oh, crap, here we go. I’ve tinkered with my own gallery, and have yet to upload many pictures, but I can at least do it easily enough. Now I’d like to have the ability to do a little moblogging from the road, if possible. Ideally, send images to the sidewall area that’s currently occupied by several static images. It’d be nice to have them change in random order, with new images added via email. gme.jp: How to make a moblog sidebar in MovableType Mfop2 etc. Alternatively, there’s a way to moblog to Gallery, or integrate Gallery within MT rather than…

I’ve been reading a trip blog calledDucks on the Road since the very beginning. I ran across it in a list of newly-created blogs, and subscribed via Bloglines because it looked interesting. For one thing, they were from Oregon, and we Ducks are always interested in other Ducks for some reason – maybe the trauma of having a cartoon character college mascot makes us feel the need to support each other. The Ducks on the Road folks have driven around visiting family and friends; it’s been a relaxing trip. Today they’re in Moab, Utah – on the return leg of…

In the latest development in what has become a chaotic inaugural month, Air America Radio is losing two of its top executives, including the network’s co-founder. Mark Walsh, the former AOL executive and Democratic National Committee operative who announced the network’s launch to much fanfare five months ago, said Monday that he has stepped down as chief executive officer. Separately, the network confirmed that Dave Logan, Air America’s vice president for operations and programming, has been replaced. I’d describe myself as a loyal Air America listener. I try to listen to some of it daily, because I’m in late-stage early…

mezzoblue § css crib sheet MMMmm! Linky goodness saved for later. I really ought to think about adding a sideblog just for links, since adding short ones to the blog for later perusal at home chops the main “flow” up so. Oh, good. Another half-assed project idea!

***Dave Does the Blog passed along a virus meme, so I decided to play. 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 23. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions Then I’ll show you the Eclipse Workbench User Guide, an in-depth guide to the features of the workbench. Not that I understand what this book is about – just that it was physically closest to me on the right hand side. In fact, Joe’s a friend of ours, and we’re having dinner with him on…
