I just added a new feature to this blog’s templates, likely the last tweak I will do as I am rather dead set on moving soon to WordPress (especially after seeing D’Arcy’s demo of the flickr gallery plugin). The new feature is a link along the front page and archive pages (and individual entries) where […]
Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -> solution? This is one of those times I accidentally learned something I had no intent of learning. It was like 3 by products […]
There’s little end in sight for fixing all the dead links I have to Content Previously Housed on Wikispaces since they went and pooped their own web bed. Another one today when Ken Bauer tweeted an old image: Working on finding the original but this is better. #Conisoft2018 pic.twitter.com/YQ3Z251AMj — Ken Bauer Favel (@ken_bauer) October […]
What else to do on a chilly, blustery, snowy day, sitting on the couch, in front a warm fireplace, side by side blogging with my Cori… then to fiddle with my WordPress themes? Yeah, as she says a compliment, I am weird. This week I was helping my friend Mariana do some revamps, web site […]
I’m a big proponent of using images with my online writing, all of my blog posts start with an image before I even write. But sometimes you do not have access to upload images, but with a little bit of know how you can sometimes insert them. This happened just today to Danny, a participant […]
Look out 2018, SPLOTs are gonna be in ya. I’ve had a great twitter conversation with Daniel Villar at Coventry University’s Disruptive Media Learning Lab where he has been working on their Domain of One’s Own efforts as coventry.domains. It appears he has a fondness for SPLOTs too. He put the Image Collector one to […]
Sure one has to wear heavy rubber boots when wading through the twitter pool these days, but dodging the crud, I still find my regular supply of gold nuggets. I cannot even remember who shared TimeLineCurator with me, but I thank them and my serendipity curiosity that made me click. From their own description: Want […]
Besides frequent topics here of dogs, photos, and sometimes catfishing, I do like to share the wonders of the humble link, the thing that connects one idea to another. They might be deliberately places, but I find more interesting are the ones we make, ones not built into any designed system. Get ready for a […]
The SPLOT Image Collector has found resonance as a useful tool to build shared image collections. I’ve modified the admin options so a site owner can decided which of the fields they want on the form (and even designate them […]
creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by capitphil I am searching for images almost every day for blog posts, media projects; always seeking the ones licensed for re-use. I spent some time recently building a Mozilla Teaching Kit for this practice. My go to tool is usually Compfight to search the creative […]
