I am not an advocate of black rights - something for which I doubt many people of my skin color are advocates.
I re-read Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech just now. After having read it, I can’t decide how I feel about it.
Hanging out in the #wordpress IRC channel yields a great many questions. Some interesting, some not. Late last night, while I was trying to configure my server to use PHP’s new PHP Data Objects, someone asked this question:
How can I use a Gmail account to post new entries to WordPress?
Basically, the idea is to configure WordPress so that when you send an email to a Gmail account, WordPress picks up that email and turns it into a post.
Oddly, this is functionality that is built into WordPress, but is what WordPress provides enough to get the job done?
I’m going to set up a Gmail account for posting to a new blog on a redalt.com subdomain. Let’s see how it works.
Permit me to pass on some advice.
When someone you don’t know contacts you and asks you reasonable questions, treat them like a rock star. Treat them like they’re the most important person in the world while you’re writing your reply. Reply to them as though your happiness was dependent on their happines with your reply; perhaps not with the content of your message, but with the clarity and willingness to respond.
You never know - one of those people might actually be a rock star.
I only actually Trick-or-Treated a few times at the old house.
A bunch of cavemen are sitting around the fire one night, thinking about how they’re going to portion out the latest boar they’ve killed as it roasts on the spit.
An innovative caveman looks about the cave and spies a rock laying next to a pile of sharp bones left over from their last kill. He grabs the rock and exclaims in caveman-speak, “With this rock, I will beat on the boar meat until it separates into pieces of somewhat equal size, and we can all share.”
