Still out of luck with excluding stuff. My best option for now is to turn off the tweet digest — I don’t really need it anyway. Meanwhile, spam goes on. Most of it wouldn’t fool a month-old puppy, but who wouldn’t like to be flattered all to heck with: Wow, incredible blog layout! How long…
Some writers are aghast at the notion of going back for revisions before a work is finished. Fine for them, but I don’t write in a straight line. I can’t. Writing, for me, is three-dimensional, fractal. There is a lot more to a tree than foliage. Growth takes place everywhere. Roots dig deeper and deeper…
Nice, I have a plug-in that collects my tweets. But I don’t want my blog cluttered with stale tweets — that archive is only for my own reference — so I install a plug-in that keeps that category out of sight. Then a WP upgrade breaks something, and the twitflood pours out. Owoo. I try…
One after another in one big fuster-cluck until one of my plug-ins goes postal and the tweets take over. ZOMG what fun. All I really want right now is lunch 🙁
I know, I’m a lousy blogger. Wottever. The bad news: Cops are on my back about yard maintenance. It got a bit shaggy after several years of ill-health caused mostly by lack of vitamins — caused by lack of money, caused by lack of job, etc. Also, there were various artifacts left by my grandfather,…
The living sturgeons that gave their name to the bay that divides the Door county peninsula — and the city that straddles it — have been nearly wiped out by overfishing and pollution. But their ghosts now haunt the summer streets. Ten years ago the first “Sturgeons Around the Bay” brought out interesting variations on…
Nearly seven years ago I was writing my last epic fan-fic novel, Borrowed Time. Hashmark Pin, the world’s smallest hacker (though very tall for a Borrower) travels from northern California to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, in search of love and a purpose in life. He finds it all. I was also re-obsessed with music, having discovered…
Still obsessed with video. I’ve collected enough software to sink the hd of my first computer several times over. SilentBob bears it all uncomplainingly. Edit, convert, edit, save; my bitty movies are piling up. The duds get deleted — I DO sometimes get rid of useless things. Sometimes. The third edit of Brick Geek, an…
It’s an established fact around here. Actually it’s fading rapidly into summer.. I gathered a few of my accumulated photos and a piece of music that I cobbled up several years ago — and recently edited — to make another practice video. It’s not too bad. YouTube link It’s been some time since I went…
