Resizing Images
I was reading an article that said WordPress now (ver 2.5 and higher) actually resizes images upon upload. If so I hadn’t realized this was built in now. Here is a 2 meg jpeg 3072 x 2304 pixels taken last night (Halloween 2009 by famous photographer C). Let us upload it to a few different sizes and see…
Published at medium setting (400 x 300)
Well what do you know, it works… Now in the upload folder are 4 files: the original sized P1050240.JPG, P1050240-150×150.JPG, P1050240-400×300.JPG and P1050240-1024×768.JPG
I’ll have to try this on enjoygardening.com which I haven’t kept as up-to-date and make J’s job a bit easier…

Pedro’s not much of an editor, nor an instructor. In fact I have it on good authority that Pedro has a VERY limited skill set.
Testing WordPress 2.0 app
Just testing the new iPhone app. Here’s a pic of L having a Strongbow and checking out the free wireless in our new pub.
- OK. So it’s faster but there is no category option? Hmmmmm
- Oh. It helps if you compose a post, and not a page. All fixed now.
- No way to delete the page with the app.
- enjoygardening.com didn’t work until I added a trailing / to the URL.
4 people
4 people sat in a room
the was no communication
4 visions of now and then
there were no pictures
4 processes chugged and churned
there was no outcome
4 people can’t do anything
leave me alone now
On occasion of a meeting of minds. Not.</emd
Leslie: Famous in Scotland!
Leslie and Zak spent a week in Scotland, ostensibly so L could attend a conference on books. As a part of one of the sessions she sis a small podcast. Have a listen:

No one I know would find this useful… 😉

But she cancelled
I was all set to get out and about
Instead I sit here, nursing my my pout
A day with no people, no contact no sound,
She was intended to help center and to ground
But no, she could not, no not at all
I felt like the maiden omitted from the ball
It seems she had better, more fun, things to do
Her excuse was her sister, but I know that’s not true
So here I sit, all freaked out and weird,
entertained only by the growth of my beard
I guess I must smell or bore or displease
But I won’t beg, won’t get down on MY knees
Oh no, I am manly and stoic and proud
Not lonely, nor misty, not whiny, not cowed
For I have my poetry, my glorious muse,
And you, well you…
can read this, and suffer the abuse
