    Krugman: Only Fools and Clowns Believe Republican Ideology (And Are Unintentionally Funny)

    I’ve resolved to blog more often, play around with the blog design, and all that. I’ve been a little too focused on getting things squared away on the church Facebook page and a little too unfocused on… pretty much everything else going on around here, including blogging. Part of that is, yes, it’s hard to blog on the iPhone from work. I’ll just be getting over that hump however I can in future. Meanwhile, some funny sad, funny ha-ha, and funny weird things, all having to do with right-wing ideology, Paul Krugman, rock-and-roll, and/or humor. New York Times columnist Paul…

    425-390-8105 Is Probably the ANTI Do Not Call Database

    I received a call at work from a Renton WA number, and immediatly after got a spam text message. When I called the Renton number back, it was a voicemail saying “Welcome to the Do Not Call database. If you would like to be added to the database, enter your 10-digit phone number.” Note, no “Federal,” no mention of a US governmental entity. So I assume that it was actually an opt-in database for phone spammers, based on a bit of Googling around as seen below. One commenter remarked that it’s probably “out of country” spammers using some kind of…

    How One Utah Deals With Trolls: Into The Bucket!

    Be sure to check back to see if/how this develops. This post shall serve as collection station; a trash bucket for the uniformed, poorly-sourced or offensively-stupid comments of angry right-wingers, bigots, racists, misogynists or anonymous trolls. This collection shall become a compost heap of sorts where these comments, as designated by OneUtah authors, will over time, fester, boil and decay until finally merging into a steaming pile of something that smells a lot like the abject suffering, socioeconomic injustice and murder of the innocent wrought upon us by blind obedience to the evil masters, politicians, pundits, corporations, false prophets, demagogues…

    Fixed a display error all by myself

    This is just a memo as to how I finally fixed a display error on the Holy Moly website. Something I did recently, probably related to social plugins, caused the body to overflow to the right. There were big scroll bars at the bottom, and it looked terrible. Tl;dr: the width in a Facebook Connect button I was using was set to 450px, but I was using it in a 200px sidebar. My family members (except for my husband David) should stop reading here.

    Not so Simple: Simple Facebook Connect « WordPress Plugins

    I finally got Simple Facebook Connect working between the St Nick’s webpage and the Facebook page, mostly. It was both simple and not simple: Facebook had changed the look of their Apps page, and there is more than one Apps page. So one “how to install this app” tutorial I tried to follow was visually outdated, but a text update had been added at the bottom. The plugin developer had not bothered to remove screenshots on an old blog post on his site, but added a terse update noting that the instructions in the plugin readme.txt file and on the…
