10 Flock Issues/Wishes

  • 7 Oct, 2006

Flock wants to know what we, the users, think. In a post titled ‘Your Top 10 Issues/Concerns‘ they are asking people to voice their issues. Here are mine. 🙂 No Cocoa Widgets on a Mac. (This one is a wish.) MacUpdate listing description is awful. When a feed is loaded from the sidebar and I […]

HalloFF Halloween Theme for Firefox 1.5.x – Testing

  • 6 Oct, 2006

A while ago I posted about a Halloween theme I found on Deviantart. It was a port of my Hallo Halloween theme from MacOSX to Firefox. It looked pretty good, until I installed it. Then it was lacking in many areas. So, I reworked it and am now tesing HalloFF, my Halloween Firefox theme. HalloFF […]

Now 14.7% More IE Friendly

  • 5 Oct, 2006

Blog on a stick is now 14.7% friendlier to our IE visitors. I removed a script that allowed IE to actually render transparent PNG’s with transparent backgrounds. It seemed to be slowing down the blog for those users and I didn’t like that. So it’s gone. Instead, you get to see an ugly background on […]

Halloween Desktops & Wallpaper

  • 1 Oct, 2006

It’s that time of year again when ghosts and goblins become ‘in’ and pumpkins get faces. Ahh yes, it’s Halloween time! A few years ago I created a Halloween Desktop page and they are still available today. However, I’m considering creating some new, larger, desktop wallpaper designs for this year. Nothing over the top, just […]

  • 30 Sep, 2006

Since my wife recently had a Pulmonary Embolism we have to watch what foods she eats. Vitamin K is one thing she doesn’t want to get to much of as it will interact with her coumadin medication. We know to say away from green vegetables, but there are a lot of other foods high in […]

Google Calendar and iCal Do Jive

  • 27 Sep, 2006

Humm… much like most of my problems, once I complain about them, they get solved. So here is what I learned about Google Calendar. My public WebDEV calendar just needed time to refresh. A good hour or two and Google loaded it no problem. My FTP calendars loaded just fine once I removed the robots.txt […]

Google Calendar and iCal Don’t Mix

  • 27 Sep, 2006

I’m not sure if it’s just me or not, but I can’t seem to get Google Calendar to work well with Apple’s iCal. I have FTPed my calendars up to a folder on my website, pointed Google Calendar to those ics files and yet, nothing shows. I’ve even published my iCal calendars on a public […]

Are Pets Reincarnated Doctors?

  • 15 Sep, 2006

Talk about a rollercoaster ride. Just a few weeks ago we were celebrating the last of Christi’s frequent broken ankle appointments. No more crutches, casts or restrictions. Then, on Thursday, Christi went in with chest and lower back pains only to be hospitalized and diagnosed with a Pulmonary embolism; a blot clot in her lungs. […]
