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…

P1050240
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…

Ode on halloween

Ode to the letter R

Rotten
Redundant
Ridiculous

Wretched…
Whoops, that has a w
Wrong, I guess

Errrrrrr,
Erroneous
Enormously so

Epanalepsis…
Wrangle an ending…
…Rotten

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

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

On occasion of being dumped by Al

A Moment to Spare for Andrea True Connection

Eenie (it’s not that small)
Meanie (only sometimes)
Miney (at least I’m not whiney)
Mo (…mo, mo, how’d ya like it…)

Catch a * by the toe,
But if he’s politically correct, let him show.

But time’s a wasting and
and I
must
go

On occasion of trying to wait patiently for a meeting

This week

  • Zak and Leslie are off to Edinburgh today.
  • We picked out appliances. A nice gas stove from Electrolux with lots of bells and whistles. We are just waiting for final pricing.
  • Tumbled tile for the bathrooms but no glass. Too much $$
  • A short week and I have to find an editor… Blah.
  • I really need to hit the gym
