A poorly wrapped present for 2018, a new SPLOT. It’s really more of an extension, the SPLOT Box is an extension/update of the older TRU Sounder one (made for building collections of audio content). As a media “jukebox-ish” thing, this one can offer a site to share/collection audio content (uploaded mp3, ogg, m4a), URL links […]
Sometimes you choose a member for the front line of your WordPress site that just ends up not playing well. As alluded to in Swapping Out Sputtering SPLOT Plugins a plugin I suggested for the two calling card themes I developed this year, WP-Dimension and WP-Big Picture turned out to be a bad player. I […]
This might set my dubious record of the longest post to get around to writing, but it’s important (to me) as the fitting close to my month of November Down Under. That image at the top of the post represents the peaceful view from the back deck of Kate Bowles‘ home in Thirroul, New South […]
What a way to close out 2017! My very last photo uploaded to flickr made it into flickr explore. Like usual, the notification of being added to the group to tracks photos In Explore came in after midnight. I grabbed a screen shot on my phone while it was still visible above the fold: Another […]

There’s a lot of dark writing about the state of the internet. Those links are just by people I know. Through the internet. And then there is this guy, who I don’t know, who is offering, and suggesting the folks who were around when the Wizards Stayed Up Late, should all in unison declare “We […]
Actually my title and featured image went a little off track. This is not about one powerful CSS feature… it’s all of them. Now I know that most people run shrieking at the sight of HTML, and me talking about CSS just ends up sounding like this. And I am far from being a CSS […]
My ResNetSem students are now published… well, it is our own journal, but hey, we can do that. The new Arganee Journal is here! The new Arganee Journal is here! Are you kidding? I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this journal every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity – your name […]
Do you remember the kerfuffle when Georgia Tech canceled a Coursera MOOC on “Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application” because the ill-advised use of a Google spreadsheet for 40,000 participants, crashed it? Can you imagine what would happen to Georgia Tech courses if a Category 4 hurricane slammed the state, leaving its inhabitants flooded, […]
