When you re-do your Movable Type site, how do you do it? Create a duplicate blog to play with until it’s pretty? So far, I’ve only ever worked on the live site, which can be dangerous (been lucky so far!). I also got my main website (brokenclay) synched up with the blog, style-wise.

Pies

We’re going to my sister’s for Thanksgiving. We’re responsible for the pies. Baking Son came through – by the time I got home from work today there was one apple pie all done, filling for two cherry pies and a pumpkin pie, and a lot of pie crust ready to roll out. Yea for Baking [...]

Did you know that there were ATMs running Windows? And getting viruses? (Via Simon Willison’s Weblog, which has much more detail.) I knew there was a reason I don’t have one of those cards.

I spent the day re-installing WinXP on the kids’ computer, which had managed to get itself incredibly gunked up. The most irritating feature was the loss of the ability to log off, thanks to some maddening piece of software I actually paid for. It took a couple of hours to interview each kid and figure [...]

Upgraded from Opera 6.06 to 7.2 – interesting to see how many CSS based sites look different. Two useful things for creating links that last: TinyURL – makes a short, permanent link to replace long, ugly links. An added advantage is that TinyURLs validate correctly, unlike a lot of URLs full of ‘?’ and ‘&’ [...]

This entry is part 6 of 10 in the series The Communion of Saints (aka the Saint Andrew Saga)

I can’t get this St Andrew thing out of my head. If I could hook up a battery to righteous indignation, I could power Manhattan. I am, of course, reacting on an extremely emotional level. Out of the Frying Pan is trying to get a more logical handle on the motivation and rationale behind the [...]

And now for something completely different…

I rolled out (pun intended) a new website last week: Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing. It’s been a lot of fun putting together this site because the organization has people who are really motivated to make it good, and they’ve been providing me with excellent content, information, feedback and enthusiasm.

The Communion of Saints, Part V

This entry is part 5 of 10 in the series The Communion of Saints (aka the Saint Andrew Saga)

A lot of email has flown around on this issue the last few days. The church has decided to defer restroom renovations. They are launching (again!) a Capital Campaign for renovations. I asked them to re-configure the existing, unsafe, grab bars in the women’s restroom. I offered to purchase the new grab bars and have [...]
