Public Notes

  • Public OK all you single ladies. Today, being leap year day, you "are allowed" to propose to a man (according to traditional customs). All you eligible bachelors look out.

  • Public Just watch the movie "Across the Universe" twice. There are a number reasons I like this movie, but still something that is off about it for me and I can't put my finger on it.

  • Public It's incredible, but I'm on my fifth tech support call to http://GoDaddy.com for the same issue. The host (not my choice) is cheap but the support is really the pits. Anyone experience similar w/ them?

  • Public Something cool is when Googling for a solution you come upon a link to your own blog providing a solution to a problem you are working on. Happened to me last night when I was looking for a WordPress hack. One more good reason to publish stuff online. Helps keep a log of solutions to problems solved.

  • Public Looking for a program to produce videos. Not super fancy but w/ some nice built-in templates. They are for commercial use and tend to get a bit wordy. Looking for a fairly straightforward program. I've done some in the past with Flash, but wondering about Adobe Premiere or other solutions. Any free or cheap solutions worth looking into or is Premiere a better choice? Any thoughts appreciated?

  • Public Learning to like Green Tea. It's real hit-and-miss. Last night the Starbuck's variety didn't do much for me. This morning Jade brand seems a bit better. Anyone have a fav?

  • Public So, my organizing/reporting/tracking/information distribution conundrum has been solved. There is no perfect pre-set solution out there so I roll my own, only it's a really simple process using a Tiddlywiki. There's a little learning curve, and I mean little, and if you are already familiar with CSS and a bit of HTML you are well on your way. The coolest thing is that you can ...

  • Public Looking for a very visual way to present projects. Would be nice to integrate project planning and reporting in a visual manner. Could be a web-based solution. It would be nice to be able to produce document revisions. Any favorites out there?

  • Public My refurbished PC and new machine came today. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Feeling the elbow room with the new 19" monitor and the flexibility of the two machines networked.

  • Public Recently discovered WordPress MU. Pretty slick implementation of WP. I have known for a while that you could host multiple instances from one install of WP, but the interface for managing multiple sites is impressive. It fits very nicely into a side project I'm doing that requires each teacher to have their own site. Me likes it very much.

  • Public Beautiful weather today in Austin. Going to be a delightful Sunday with breakfast, then to church. We are shooting down to San Antonio this afternoon and then back home to get ready for the week.

  • Public On behalf of the folks in Southern California, I'd ask all who pray, to pray for protection and mercy for the people and their homes from the wildfires.
