Weirdness

Suddenly when I check my blog tonight I find that none of the pictures I uploaded to it from Flickr are being displayed. What's up with that? It's late enough at night that I'll worry about that in the morning, but in the words of Yul Brynner in his role as the King of Siam, «'Tis a puzzlement.»

About Flock

About Flock, originally uploaded by CaptQuirk.

Yesterday I was delighted that the auto-update feature of Flock version 0.5.11 manifested itself and I was prompted to update to this newer version. I gave the auto-update permission to go ahead and do it, and now, quite smoothly, I again have the latest version. Flock is still in the «pre-release developer's version,» but it is functioning quite well and is stable. I've been using it as my default browser since sometime in November and am very satisfied with its many useful features. For instance, I used Flock to upload this screen shot to Flickr.

Must see video

I don't always watch the CBS Evening News, but I did last night for their final story, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I was so hoping they would make the story available on the Internet so that I could point you to it too, and today I found it.

The Grandson

Connor's Cap, originally uploaded by Dr Reelgood.

Connor Michael Nelson is approaching 10 months old now (on March 1), and he's already getting into the family tradition of playing with what Carole used to call «the seasonal ball.» If he turns out to be a basketball player, however, he'll be the first male in the family with any skill at playing that game. However, I think this photo of him is really cute, so I wanted to share it with you.

Some family photos from Easter, 2005

My cousin, Pat Hill, posted this picture on her Flickr site of the gathering of the Googer and Hill clans at Easter 2005. It's good to see her posting some of her pictures on Flickr again. Here's her identification of the crew (with some additions by me in parentheses):

Gmail labels

The other night I wrote an explanation for Caole, my ex-wife, of Gmail's labeling capability. If you have a Gmail account, you may find it helpful to you as well, so I am copying the relevant part of my message to her here. If you don't have a Gmail account and would like one, feel free to email me (my address is in the About Me page) and I'll be glad to send you an invitation.

Flock error — resolved

Yesterday I was puzzled by the error message I was getting when I tried to install the Filterset.G extension that is used in conjunction with the AdBlock extension in Flock (and also in Firefox).  I posted the screen shot of the error I received on my Flickr site, and sometime yesterday Killeroid replied to my quandry by suggesting that there was an existing port of that extension for Flock.  After some fooling around with it (running it through the Flock'd tool at this site again), I was able to get the extension installed in my new version of Flock.  So all is well, because it all ended well.  As I have reviewed my own actions yesterday when I was trying to install this extension, it appears that I may have been clicking the wrong link while trying to install it.

Useful web tools

There are, of course, many useful tools available on the web. However this morning I discovered one via Dave Wineberger's Joho the Blog site that points to a site where you can type in your zip code and locate the gas station in your area with the lowest gas prices. I think this is very cool. There's a disclaimer on the site that says ...
