.com-ing!

Recently I made a few changes to my .com. Instead of putting time into something that would turn into more time than I desire, I chose a few templates to run with for the next few months. The present theme is ABAC by Nicola Laviola. It’s a unique theme in that as a story gets older the text on the front page gets smaller. Clever. If someone wants to read an article they’ll need to click on the subject. Also, it helps to shorten the length of the front page. Nicely nicely.

I also updated the Gallery Plugin and a number of other Plugins via the new auto update feature in 2.5.1 - brilliant! Instead of the old process - I’m not going to bore myself or anyone else by typing it out - it’s a click here, a click there, and voila. Updated. Ahhh.

For the frequent visitor, there are one or two of you out there, I know I have not updated my photo gallery. The amazing fact is I haven’t taken one picture since my birthday. Okay we all know that’s a crock. The truth is it has not been a priority. Instead of updating my online gallery I’ve focused on updating my local gallery. I have over 10,000 photos in iPhoto. Most of which have no labels/tags and/or descriptions. So, the past 2 weeks I have been combing through, doing my best to apply names and locations. I know I’ve missed tags or applied the incorrect tab - alas.

It is my hope that to back up all my photos to my Flickr account - http://www.flickr.com/photos/garyploski/. I will then begin geo-tagging the albums and photos (if applicable). That process will take a considerable amount of time. I may ask for help (if it’s even possible).

Yup. The lightning is blasting away in the sky north of us. Wow! RUMBLE RUMBLE. The temperature has dropped a good 5-10 degrees making the apartment bearable. The temp topped 98 today. Wee!

Wrapping things up… emma’s rents, FIL and MIL, were very kind tonight and treated us to a home cooked meal - gaspacio - and some leftovers with strawberry rhubarb and ice cream for dessert. Whether it was the day, the heat, or the cocaine… I’m feeling beat. =) Time for sleep in the …OK, I was about to rhyme something that means I’m done. Helloooo z’land.

I’ve never done it before and I’m involved in a play. What does that mean? .com-ing will look a bit frelled (Farscape slang) for the next month or two. Heck, probably 3.

If something looks strange don’t you worry. I’ve probably seen. Theme building is a go for launch.

Watch the content bounce around like a bouncy ball going down an escalator on the way up. Fwee!

Since last semester there have been some pictures taken. I haven’t taken the hour-ish-ness of time to sort through and then upload any though. Until today! September, October, November, December, and January have visual history finally! I even went so far as to post something that will happen later this week. Wacky, wacky, wacky. Take a peek in the gallery-o-pix. Swoosh.

I wasn’t able to upload this bit to the gallery. Magneto’s first bath. Howl along…

On 2006/09/29 (Friday) I reported that 1110 spam comments were caught by Akismet on my site. Today, 2006/10/20 (Friday), at 12:16 AM I’m confused.

Akismet has now caught 2096 spam!? How in the world did I get nearly 1000 spam comments in one less than one month? Dunno. Stange. Very strange.

My Google page ranking has moved up from 4/10 to 5/10. That’s cool. .com-ing is climbing (slowly) to 6/10. Here goes…  crawl crawl crawl

I finally got around to putting pix up from July, August, and September. Jumping kittens, a dinner in Bronxville, a show in NYC, some indoor rock climbing, etcetera. Many-a-thin-are-a-goin-on-a but I’m not ready to write anything yet. Hopefully sometime in the next 3-4 days I’ll be ready to throw my thoughts down. Swa’bash thump! Uh, thud! Hop on into the Gallery-o-Pix.
