What Up With The Scanner

As most of you know I ran this little contest on the Ozzy picture that was posted on my my old site. Well Barry officially won the contest, guessing correxlty that it was indeed Ozzy. To this point he hasn't informed me of the scanners eventual fate.

So, I am open to suggestions, Barry ulitmately has the last call here as he won, but hey, who says we can't persuade his decision? Should it be run over by the Bronco, thrown from a cliff, hurled off a bridge into the mighty fraser river? Of course pictures would follow, but who knows, someone out there may have a legitimate use for it?

Bearing even more of my Newbie Side

This is the point where I bear even more of my "Newbie" side of MT: I have noticed before on others sites that when you post something that is similar to previous posts, it will show those similar posts as links at the bottom of the new entry. Is this a feature that can be enabled, is already enabled, or a pluging that can be added to MT?

I am posting another favorite picture from the "Chilliwack Air Show" . The funny thing here is that I have been driving around with my camera lately, ready to catch somehting really good to post. The day before the air show, we are heading into town and the snowbirds are doing thier complete show as a practice run over town. I parked the Bronco on Prarie Central in a farmers feild and we gt out and saw an even better, closer, show in it's entirety. Very kewl, but I forget my camera. The day of the show we got "Mr. I am going to get a better shot in the middle of the field, or at least be in everyone elses pictures", standing in the middle of our view.

Missing Features in Netscape

This Movable Type stuff taken a good part of the day, but then again I have taken a couple of days off (from full time code) to get some things done around the house and to take care of some family things. The install was painless, I think I was more hesitant than anything else, as soon as I got into it it was too easy. Arcterex helped out on anything I wasn't sure of (Thanks Dude), and flipped me a few great links.

I have noticed though that some features are missing in Netscape that are supposed to be there (the button bar HTML features, trivial since I can just type in such things as URLS and such anyway), so I did something I usually only do as a last resort, I fired up IE ato take a look. Some of the missing features where there now, but they don't work (go figure). Could be an issue setting up IE properly, but I don't bother doing that, as I don't use it.

Oh well everything is working as far as I can see at this point, I will be adding or subtracting things as I go along. I managed to set up the tent in the back yard for the kids. I have to pick up an air matress or dome foam rolls tomorrow, I promised the kids we could sleep in the tent for a few nights. Not exactly a real camping trip, but it fits my budget, and I am close to work.

More of the Same

I have taken enough time to look into MT options etc...

Over the next week or so I am going to be converting all of my archived old HTML stuff over to MT format. I am also going to be setting up RSS feeds and some other options. I am still learning the basics, yet would love to jump into some of the more advanced features of MT.

IF anyone who reads my chronicle has any suggested links that they feel would help, feel free to post a comment.

OK So It Took Me Awhile

Ok, so it took me awhile to come over to MT, but I figured the html I had in place did the trick while it was there. I actually reeived a request for a RSS feed, so here I am.
