Gah. It’s been a bad two years, pandemic aside. Here is a summary of what happened. I have wanted to write up blog posts to cover all of these things, but honestly it’s been too much. I’d start to write and just get overwhelmed by everything. It...
This is going to be short, because I just can’t write. Within one week, my sister lost two of her three children. My nephew died on Monday. My niece died on Wednesday. Mom and I flew out to be with my sister on Wednesday. Not going into...
Yes, you guessed it. I’m a Who fan. Fan conventions with actors who have played the Doctor’s previous incarnations? You bet. Even have autographed posters. Yup, even started knitting the scarf. Doctor Who is an acquired taste. You have to like quirky, campy British humour to appreciate...
This is a really cool tool that creates a graph of a Web site. The pictures are based upon HTML pages and tags used. Pretty neat. It’s a Java applet, so it can take some time. Web Sites As Graphs Related Images:

I’ve called in a claim. Here’s hoping that the insurance company will cover either the roof or the flooring… They might not, but it’s at least worth a try. I talked to one fo the guys at work who had extensive flooding problems in his old house....
When I bought my house in May, all of my friends and parents were very congratulatory. They frequently ask how the happy owner is and the happy house? Upon threat of your life, don’t ask me that this week. Not unless you have time to spare and...
My stepmom just quit her teaching job to write full time. I am so proud of her for taking an opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream. She’s writing children’s books and also some adult fiction. We had a long conversation about writing, characters, the stories she is...

This week has been a study in opposites. Isis is a more mature, mellow mare whose Egyptian and Crabbet bloodlines mean that she has the looks with a lot of common sense. Rajiyyah is a straight Egyptian, so she has lots of looks and not as much...
After several years without development, Adobe has finally announced that it will end-of-life the SVG Viewer. Support will be discontinued on January 1, 2007, and downloads of the viewer will cease some time early 2008. This is unfortunate because Adobe SVG Viewer (SVG) is one of the...
Queensland authorities have reported the freakish death of Steve Irwin this morning. Irwin apparently was swimming alongside a bull stingray when it attacked, striking Irwin in the chest with its spiked tail. Crikey. Related Images:
Apparently, the Previous posts link at the bottom of page returns only the posts on the front page. I think this is an issue in the PHP coding in the theme I’m currently using. I’m troubleshooting this currently and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Meanwhile, please...
A friend of mine left a comment that it would be nice to be able to be notified when a new post or comment was posted. I found two plugins that will do this: Subscribe2 allows users to be notified upon new posts and Subscribe to Comment...
