Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
This might seem more appropriate to November (when we in the US celebrate Thanksgiving) than June, but I think you’ll understand. I am going to be giving myself some time off this summer. I’m trying hard to not let blogging seem like work, and that normally happens on Sunday, as I try to prepare Monday’s... Continue Reading →
Just a quick update on the “Like” button and it is mostly good news! I updated my still-open issue with the Like button on Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who added comments to my post on Monday. The WordPress engineer who received my email agreed that, even though he could not recreate the problem,... Continue Reading →
It’s a special Saturday here at the bar, but we’re still going to play along with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday challenge. Her prompt for today: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘rib.’ Use it as a word, or find a word with ‘rib’ in it. As always, use any... Continue Reading →
I had two reasons for spreading my WordPress-issues update across two blog posts.

This week, I thought I’d try to combine my on-going technology journey (the one inspired by Pam’s Luddite Wannabe post) with an update on the mysterious case of the WordPress “Like” button.

This weekend saw repairs, both physical and virtual, being made around here. During two significant storms this winter, high wind removed most of the top course of my new vinyl siding from my newly sided garage. When I purchased the siding, I opted for a type of top-course treatment that didn’t require nails. I wasn’t... Continue Reading →
Almost every geeky computer guy and gal who’s over the age of 50-something, knows the expression: “Everything is deeply intertwingled.” Depending on which computer guy/gal you talk to, you will get a different answer as to who to attribute that quote to. I learned of this quote in a class on “Structured Design” taught by... Continue Reading →
I know, I know, it’s the last day of 2018 and I’m supposed to recap the year that was and ponder the year to come. I’m not going to do that. OK? You see, at work, I’ve been busy annualizing my 2019 budget, writing a list of accomplishments and explaining the things that should have... Continue Reading →
