Trying vertical pic plus caption

Overheard outside entrance to Draeger’s Market today:
Earnest young environmentalist: “Would you like to sign a global warming petition?”
Expensively-dressed woman:”I’d love to, but it’s too hot!”
Temperature hit 100 in Menlo Park today… very unusual for the cool Peninsula…

First bug?

The good news: we figured out how to convert an HTML ordered list into an OPML list. The bad news is that, for reasons known only to Murphy, since we installed the new blogroll, the vertical picture post breaks (but only in FireFox).
This is a bit strange, because the blogroll HTML is generated downstream […]

New post format for the beta

One of the things that isn’t built in to the new blog theme is a way to post a vertical picture with a caption in a column to the right. Since I did that often on gulker.com’s Radio blog, I was hoping to find a way to do that on the new one, which I […]

It’s hot

Overheard outside entrance to Draeger’s Market today:
Earnest young environmentalist: “Would you like to sign a global warming petition?”
Expensively-dressed woman:”I’d love to, but it’s too hot!”

Hacking the blogroll, redux

Hacking the blogroll: the old blogroll is flat HTML, which is one of the reasons it was hard to maintain - I used to have to go into a few thousand lines of HTML on the home page, find the start, and then carefully hand code and (usually) debug it. By keeping it in OPML […]

Static on Radio…

Another reason to move the blog to WordPress: while attempting to claim www.gulker.com (yeah, yeah, what took me so long?) over at Technorati, I discovered that their spiders can’t parse our HTML. When I added Technorati’s 2 lines of javascript and submitted the changes back to the Radio DB, Radio made quite a hash out […]

Morning sky

Pretty sky this morning as we jogged across Stanford campus. I think Linda will be blogging this morning about the great bicycle mystery over at FirstBlush.

Blogroll rot

Blogroll rot: as mentioned previously, we’re making our way through our very old blogroll in the hopes of eliminating the references to long-gone sites. Paul was kind enough to leave a comment, and wondered if you could automate the blogroll, somehow. I’m wondering if you could periodically check RSS feeds for a. existence and b. […]

A blog debuts

Blah, Blah, Blah: Legend of the Jabberwocky recently debuted, being the creative ruminations of one John Getze who numbers among my most favorite human beings. Today’s top post covers Ari Shine, John’s closest collaborator in high school, and a guy I also know and like. It is a wonderful thing to see one’s children with […]
