Nvu .5

Need to make a web page and wouldn’t know an HTML tag if it jumped up and closed itself around your head? Well, then go download Nvu!! It’s a great WYSIWYG editor (you know, like Word), and has gotten better with every release. There’s even an OS X build now!

UPDATE: For the uninitiated, WYSIWYG is an acronym. It stands for “What You See Is What You Get”. Programs like Microsoft Word or other word processors are WYSIWYG, as are web editors like the aforementioned Nvu, Mozilla Composer, Dreamweaver, etc. Notepad is a good example of the opposite of a WYSIWYG editor.

Max Blows Out The Candles

Max Blows Out The Candles

He’s five!! Max is a great kid, and he had a really great birthday. Yes, the cake is homemade… and Max helped. There’s homemade buttercream frosting underneath the chocolate too (it didn’t stay together, so we used it in the middle and on the top).

Max and I have been cooking together a lot lately. I measure everything out and line it up. He dumps it in, and watches the KitchenAid do its thing. Well, except for the brownies. Those he stirred by himself.

They Don’t Deserve It

The Bush Administration has failed the country on so many levels, they don’t deserve to win. They just don’t. Unless you’re a one issue voter, how can you support an Administration who lied to you, not about a blowjob, but about going to war? The NY Times (I know, I know, but read it) has the best Rumsfeld declares there was no link between Saddam and al Qaeda, then backpedals. This statement’s not based on new evidence that’s come out since the invasion, but finally stating the truth of what they knew beforehand.

  • Bremer admits we didn’t have enough troops.

  • It’s unbelievable to me that these aren’t impeachable offenses. Compounded with Abu Ghraib, why hasn’t Rumsfeld been hauled in front of Congress and charged? Why are Wolfowitz, Bolton and Feith still employed? Why does Condi still have a job that she’s apparently not willing to do?

    A vote for President isn’t just for one man, especially an incumbent. It’s a vote for the entire Administration. This one’s a disaster, and it’s time for them to go.

    Kevin The Teacher

    Guess who’s a teacher… yep, it’s me! I’ll be teaching Blogging With Movable Type at The Eclectic Academy in November. If you’ve wanted to learn how to install MT, use it, customize it, all written for the blogging novice, please check it out. The course is six weeks long, all online, and I’m hoping it’ll end up being useful for folks (I’m working hard on getting all six lessons done now, and if you have any suggestions for what I should cover, bring ’em on).

    I think the class will be a good test of my writing ability. I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a book for the last couple years, and if I can handle writing six classes (they’re supposed to take between 1.5 and 2 hours to complete), I think I can handle writing a book. I probably wouldn’t write one on MT (because who really wants to compete with Jay?). But, I’ve been using it for a couple years and know it well enough that I should be able to write about it without embarrassing myself.
