A Helicopter for Your Video Camera?
According to Gizmag, there is one! I have a hard enough time holding one in my hand and getting any useful video!
Slideshow Gallery Problem
I installed Slideshow Gallery on the Energion Blogs site, and ran into a problem. Unfortunately I used “Network Activate” (which was not what I wanted to do), rather than just activating it for a single site. The result apparently tries to get user privileges before the appropriate includes are loaded. The solution, however, is simple–don’t…
Atahualpa Theme for WordPress 3.5.3
The Atahualpa theme for WordPress is now up to version 3.5.3 which supports the new 3.0+ menus. Thus far I’m not getting the suggestion to upgrade automatically, but I downloaded it from the site.

Change Endnotes to Footnotes in OO Writer

Thus this excellent list of security software at Gizmo’s Freeware. Several of these tools are ones I use and recommend. There are, however, a number I haven’t used,…
Many PCs Still Running Windows XP
It’s 74%, in fact, according to this endgadget.com story. Based on my own experience I would add that IT expense and software compatibility are the two keys. Even though I’ve found that most software issues can be resolved without excessive effort, I did run into one case in which Quicken Home Inventory would not run…
HootSuite5 is Alive
Well, at least HootSuite5 has arrived! I’m pretty happy with the new look and features, though I’ll have to use it for awhile to find out what my complaints are. I always have complaints! In general, however, the new user interface feels more logical to me. There is less guessing as to where a particular…
