According to this, the Flickr Album plugin that I had used and then abandoned for a while isn’t working with the latest version of WordPress 2.1, which we’re now running here. I’m hoping there’ll be a fix for the little problem I encountered where the default setting is to pull ALL photos from ALL groups onto the photo gallery page. Also, something to fix the display problem when there are links in the descriptions.

The other day, I posted about loss. I was mostly thinking about the loss of the church I've worshiped in for the last 5 years, or at least the loss of the building. Naturally, it got all mixed up with relating it to another loss – Mom – and how losing something you love resonates every time you lose something else. And then I saw this post at Sarah Dylan Breuer right afterward, talking about when you lose people when they decide they no longer want to worship with you, that the differences are more important to them than the…

I’m debating whether to post this on the church blog, partly because the blog URL will be changing soon to be in line with the rest of the St Nicholas site, and partly because I’m not sure E-Z the Answers Squirrel can “fly” without getting shot down by the Warden and the vicar.

I missed my session with the personal trainer at the workplace healthclub this morning! For some reason, even though it was on my online calendar, I had it in my head that it was an evening appointment, not a morning one. Well, crap. I emailed my apologies to my trainer, Natalie. She’s a good kid. Very young, very small, very eager to get several women fit. Each one of us nearly twice her size. Most of the others in my group missed the last nutrition meeting due to schedule constraints – tomorrow I have to remember to have a meeting…

The heck with Obama and Clinton… now that it's official, we'll be supporting Rileycat in his candidacy for President, and now we've got to convince our friend Steve to let his Golden Doodle, Polly, run for Vice President. It's an unbeatable ticket: cat people and dog people, Democat and Repuplican, unleashed on the American political scene for the first time. Forget Blue and Red America, it's time for Poo and Shed America! As running mates, they might have some problems, though Riley has been declawed and Polly reportedly "likes cats." His handlers, though, are allergic to cats, and we're not crazy…

Boing Boing: Web Zen: barnyard zen Apparently, BoingBoing's Xeni Jardin is teh delightfully evul, yet inadvertently clueless n00b. She posted a link to a "Kung Fu Bunnies" webanime to that high-traffic group blog and "directory of wonderful things" that plays this incredibly annoying "Kung Fu Fighting" soundtrack/clip with sound effects. Problem is, it plays automagically every time I read BoingBoing via Bloglines, and I could not figure out where the hell it was coming from. And it plays over iTunes and Windows Media. Identifying the problem is more than halfway to solving it, but…weird. UPDATE: I had a nice email…

Enough time has gone by since Holy Innocents closed that I think I can now deal with telling the story of the last 2 services held there. There aren’t many photos, because I was struggling with the settings on the camera and also because much of the time, I was holding either a hymnal or the Book of Common Prayer. Christmas Eve was pretty but… it’s already faded into a sort of mish-mosh of previous years. However, a couple of things stand out. First, someone forgot to clue Fr. Steve in on using the little hand-candles for a candlelit portion,…

3 pregnant teens accused in Utah attack – Crime & Punishment – MSNBC.com The home, which is a place for struggling pregnant teens, is in Utah County, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. Pregnant teens are typically sent there by parents to get away from problems with drugs or boyfriends, and they attend class and learn about prenatal care, childbirth and adoption while staying at the home, according to police. This kind of story comes up over and over in Utah. Some outfit sets up a group home, or a camp, or a wilderness experience for various kinds…

daily episcopalian: Desmond Tutu on the Communion's peculiar priorities I am deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on what do I do in bed with whom, the South African Nobel Laureate Tutu told a news conference in Nairobi. That's preaching the Word, Bp. Desmond. I only hope your brother bishops bother to listen. [tags]Episcopal, Anglican Communion, Desmond Tutu, Peter Akinola, schism[/tags]
