Changes

Comment

A friend asked me for some help with his WordPress site yesterday, which kind of rekindled my interest in this one. I’ve made some changes ‘under-the-hood,’ which shouldn’t be obvious to you, the visitor. There are a few more I want to do, but its been a long day. We’re now running on Ubuntu 18.04 and PHP 7.2. Tomorrow, maybe, I’m going to upgrade the … Continue reading Changes »

Lockdown

Comment

Back from Neverland I suppose this would have been a good time to be contributing to this thing. Two months into the CV-lockdown and I’m finally getting around to writing something here. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the quarantine. I mostly keep to myself anyway and have most everything I need here at home. I missed seeing my students in person this past semester. But otherwise, for … Continue reading Lockdown »

I’m hoping that taking it down for a … Continue reading Happy New Year »

For all my nerd friends out there…and in response to being a ‘client’ for one of the project groups in my classes, I made a meme generator. They noted the memes/silly pics I routinely post in notices for them and pitched the idea of a meme repository for for their site. On reflection, I told them that’d be a great idea, but (though it’s outside … Continue reading I made a meme 🙂 »

Couldn’t resist sharing…

Comment

I dunno why, but this cracked me up: It’s been a while since I rode. Though that’s all I did (all I had) back when I was 18. Back then, I knew upstate South Carolina like the back of my hand. Last time I was there visiting, I needed a GPS receiver to extricate myself from the country backroads. Oh well, time marches on. I … Continue reading Couldn’t resist sharing… »

Comment

A former co-worker posted this on FB…it’s worth a couple of chuckles  🙂 How to Tell Where a Cop works: Narcotics -Immediately grow facial hair, tell everybody you were ordered to. -Start wearing size schmedium “Tap Out” t-shirts -Start watching every episode of Monster Garage. -Buy a biker wallet with a big chain. -Practice the “Don’t acknowledge me, even while in the police station, look.” … Continue reading Had to share »
