Update Mint & Lose Feed

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Updated my Mint install earlier this week, only to find it to break (and break a lot of things). I thought we had things working, but no. Besides reeking havoc with its own database, the Bird Feeder and its associated WP plugins (not created by Shaun Inman) have done some damage to the WordPress db and the feed.

Never go to one of your wife’s favorite restaurants without her.

Pinhole

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Sure it has been close to a year without any real posts and now I am doing two in one night/morning. This will be the first (of many) posts dedicated to photography.

Several years ago I had a class of kids doing pinholes and these are some of the results.

We used a mix of Irish Oatmeal tins and empty quart sized paint cans.

A quick redesign

Monday, August 13th, 2007

With a bit of help from Blueprint here is a small redesign. Pity I was using version 0.3 and will need to upgrade soon. Hopefully that can be done as I test it out and tweak things.

Redesigning your own site is tough. This go around is close to a year in the planning (with only one week in making it happen). With many different sketches the final decision was between the design used and the one below.

Still here

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I have received some grief lately about my lack of posts. What have I been doing? Well at an average of 1.2 sites a month, I have been keeping busy.

So, this is a meaningless post to quiet down the critics (they know who they are).
