    wottever

    The front page excluded category plugin still isn’t working. I am still working, but entirely behind the scenes. Actually not so bad for me, but awkward for my employer. I’m not very talkative today; it all drains out on Twitter, I guess.

    Oh the Tweet Pain

    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…

    Wha’s Happenin’?

    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 Return of Spring

    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.

    Lost or…what?

    It was a day. The worst of it is not knowing what happened. I remember starting out on the walk back home, I know what direction I was headed. I had thought I could get through that maze of streets. Even if I had to cut through a back yard or two, it should have…
