My mom called about 9 to tell me that my dad was out of surgery. He has prostrate cancer and has already had it cut out once. This time they inserted radioactive pellets that are susposed to cause things to shrink. He came through fine. Has to stay in the hospital till he pees good and they see that nothing is gonna come back out that way then will come home.

Cool! A totally different way of looking at voice recognition. The 1 kb of memory the article mentions is just unbelievable. And they claim that that amount is enough for all numerals and some simple commands! In Russian only so far…

This is cool! I have, just this last week, discovered xampp which I now have running on puppy linux, pclos linux and mac os X. The only one that gave any trouble was puppy and that was minor. More later on all this. Will fix links in then too. Time for some shut eye…

Eastern Coyotes Are Becoming Coywolves

—

I think this must be what we have been seeing around here in east central Alabama. They are much bigger than any coyote I’ve seen but the color and build isn’t like any dog I’ve run across.

Jacksonville Fireworks July 3rd 2005

And a plug for me… Took the pix over at Sean and Caroline Wellesley’s place in the pecan orchard of the old Edward’s Plantation North of the stadium. The fireworks are launched from their property and where I took the pix we were closer to the fireworks than the folks at the stadium parking area. Impact from the launches and star bursts was awesome!

Just as an aside about the pix that are showing up on the page.

Been looking at website photo programs. Spent 3 days this week on it. Last night (this morning ) up past 2:30 and still no joy. I have tried about 10 or so programs now and come back to just using wordpress till I can get something else up and going.

The plugin I am using is photon. I would like a bit more flexability but it works! and after a bit of juggling with the templates I have the thumbnails linking to the main post and the large picture in the extended part of the main post so the main page isn’t gonna get too much slower than it already is due to the increased bandwidth of the full sized pix.

Gonna keep looking and testing. Am fairly sure it’s something I am doing. Or not doing.

I like this one. Good clarity with a nice varied blurry background. Good desk top picture material.
