Redefining Weird On An Hourly Basis










Fixed... Again

Well it looks like I have this fixed again. I had to tweak Movable Type about a year ago when I made the last post here to get it to work (due to changes in things behind the scenes) and it apparently needed massaging again. I went to post something a few months ago, hit a brick wall, said to myself "well I better fix this", got busy and promptly forgot. I'm still running on an older version and part of my really wants to get up to the latest release, but I don't use 50% of the functionality of the software anyhow. Plus why fix it if it isn't broken, right?

So what's my point you ask? Do I need one? OK, fine my point is this: In theory I will possibly be posting here more. Maybe. Not that I suspect anyone actually reads this.

Surfing along the other day I found myself time traveling to 2003 and discovering the wonder of Flickr. Yes, I know I'm late to the party. Very late. But seriously, this is just way too freakin' easy. They host your stuff up, the upload couldn't be simpler and the online photo editing tools of Picnik is surprisingly responsive and feature-filled. I toyed with the free version for all of about an hour or two before I coughed up the $25 for a year of their "Pro" version. Definitely worth it. Plus you have to love a site that teaches you how to greet people in a new language every time you log in. This morning's was: "Jambo Michael! - Now you know how to greet people in Swahili!"

The benefit of my discovering this gem (albeit just a tad later than the rest of the free world) is that I'm FINALLY putting up the pics I swore I would be putting up all these years. I haven't changed the pics link on the left yet as those pics haven't been moved over yet, I have moved all the pics to pics.grinko.com with more being added often. No, really I swear this time.
