Major Remodeling In Progress

I upgraded to the new version of Movable Type as I explained yesterday. Today I plied my recently develop skills in CSS and XHTML crafting and redesigned the layout of the weblog. I have not gotten to the comment windows yet so they are likely unusable. I’m hoping to fix that tomorrow. I got some … Read more

Movable Type Upgrade

I have successfully upgraded my blog software. Woo hoo! I looked around at the current blog software offerings thinking I might replace Movable Type with something from the Open Source/GPL arena. I like Blosxom quite a bit but it is not quite as sophisticated in terms of user management as I want. A lot of … Read more

Hawai`i Update

OK, so I’m not as diligent about daily blog entries as I was in Kuwait. I’m working on that, really. Yesterday was a fun day. We went to Anahola beach. We purchased a third boogie board the day before so the plan was to go to a beach where the kids and I could ride … Read more

Old Dog, New Tricks

A few days ago I turned 45 years old. Wow! 45. Squarely into middle age. I even have a teenager now. Life has been good so far. I’d like to go another 45 years. I’m learning how to make QuickTime VRs. Not as hard as I thought but definitely not easy. I’m at that point … Read more

I also spent some time studying the creation of QuickTime Virtual Realities using PTMac. Even made … Read more

I love this place

Went to church at Calvary Chapel Kaua`i. Wandered through the local Wal-Mart. Nothing much to talk about today. Aloha

I Heart Hawaii

I love being in Hawaii. I love the weather. I love the scenery. I love the smells. I wasn’t born here but I’m going to my darnedest to make sure I die here. I’m studying CSS using a demo version of Contribute 3 and CSSEdit. Very cool tools both. Sooner or later the benefits of … Read more

Half Way…

Well, actually a lot more than half way. We’re in Maui waiting for a connecting flight to Lihu`e, Kaua`i. Connect via Maui Sky Fiber for $6.20 a day. Only I won’t be using it for a day. Still pretty cool. Two airports and I’ve been able to connect to the internet wirelessly for a fairly … Read more

On the way….

…to Hawaii. I’m at the Oakland Int’l airport. They have WiFi serving the passenger waiting area. Internet access costs $6.95 for one day. Not bad. The was suppose to have been WiFi in the motel we stayed in last night. However, the access point was either poorly placed or malfunctioning. The signal was extremely intermittent. … Read more
