That can mess up your whole day. My computer decided it was time to add the latest QuickTime, iTunes and ActiveX Kilibits update all at the same time.  Something had to give and it gave. Thankfully,  I use Norton Save & Restore on this machine and I used my Symantec Recovery Disk to get myself out of a mess. The utilities let me run CHKDSK /f and I was able to reroute the corrupted file around the bad blocks or sectors. It worked. I ran all kinds of tune ups tonight and seems to be nice and stable again. That’s a good think because I have a lot going on tomorrow. Typography, color breaking, web site work… and some stationery.

Working on some drawings based on my series of shots at Tanner’s in Ivyland, PA

Have to figure out how to upload some of my new NextGEN Galleries…

I found some software yesterday and downloaded it for a spin. Nothing too fancy but actually quite pleasant to use. That’s right. I just created this theme for WP myself. It was very inter­esting going through all of the various framework. To make a long story short — I’m a designer and Art Director — not a php kind of guy.

So — locating this was a good thing for me. It was adver­tised on AlexKing​.org in a little banner in the article about the people at Crowd Favorite updating all of the Carrington themes. That was really amazing to read that. I have plenty of graphics — both illus­tration and photog­raphy as well as Graphic Design. Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way.

“Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way. I shot the moon with my Olympus on a tripod with a telephoto lens and a variety of different timings.”

This is all working a lot smoother than I’d imagined that it would’ve. That’s good. I had a techni­cally oriented family member once tell me that I’d never be able to edit any PHP code. Well that’s fine with me. I’d much rather just work on my pictures. Speaking of pictures — The sky tonight at maybe 9:00 or 9:30 PM was lit up contin­ually by lightning.  No really close crashes but some nice bass sub-woofer action — Wow. Sue was working on a project for work and I was afraid that perhaps the lights might blink out during the storm but instead all kept going fine. I’ll keep working on my theme.

Thanks for reading -
