A modern Macarena? Is it odd when people start a synchronized dance at the German embassy?

Roses are Blooming

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 

And postie is back-reved to 1.1.5, which worked as expected. The new version doesn’t work as expected. As the old version was doing what I needed, and very nicely, I’ll back rev to it, though I’m a little worried that WordPress 3.0 will break it. Pictures are nicely resized and the framing is what I’d hope.  I’ll upgrade everything else and then try postie 1.4.x again.

Rental Cadillac DTS

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 
Wtf? Another Caddy? They drive OK, but what is up with the mid-90s vintage entertainment system? Analog in only? American cars always have really crappy music navigation interfaces, but even low-end cars with the janky microsoft sync interface at least can read off a 2GB FAT USB stick (no larger).

If you’re trying to compete with Mercedes an Infinity, you have to be able to read at least a FAT32 file system if not an ipod and usefully navigate folders and playlists.

Postie Image Resize Seems Broken

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 

I updated Postie for the first time in many years, and it seems my fix for ImageMagick is now obsolete, but another fix may be necessary.

It may be that Postie just doesn’t like the FreeBSD environment. The ImageMagick fix was mostly to point Postie’s hard-coded targets to BSD standard locations. This time through I haven’t found the right code yet as postie-functions.php has been completely rewritten.

Fresh Raspberries

Monday, June 21, 2010 

The raspberries in the yard are fruiting. A few have turned ripe ahead of the rest, but it looks like it will be a pretty good harvest this season, if we’re home enough to pick them.
