I have a tip for anyone trying to give up TV cold turkey – buy some ducks. Not that I’m giving up TV, but I can sit for hours and watch these characters. My wife started calling one of them “Sunny” because of a bit of orange on his/her bill. I changed that a bit and named the rest of them after characters from “The Godfather.” Meet Vito, Michael, Santino (“Sonny/Sunny”), Don Barzini, Luca Brasi, and Connie. We’re still not sure about all of their sexes, so we may have some name changes in the future. Fortunately there are plenty…
Getting Closer
This is a test of a post with title and link. Almost have the Ru/Manila dual post script working!
OK, I’m slowly bringing this blog into 2003 and have activiated the comments links.
OK, I’m slowly bringing this blog into 2003 and have activiated the comments links. I wonder if I’ll reget it.
How embarassing! Dave links to my site, and that’s when I figure out that my computer’s clock is on the whack .
How embarassing! Dave links to my site, and that’s when I figure out that my computer’s clock is on the whack. No, I didn’t travel back in time to make that post. Now that it’s linked on “Scripting News” I don’t want to fix it

I got Trackback working on my Manila site, though I doubt it will generate a lot of links; not too many other people out there in weblog-land into Hawaiian music. It could get interesting when Trackback comes to RadioUserland. I love testing new features when Userland ships them, and hopefully will be able to get more consistent about doing it here. One thing I’d like to figure out – if I can create a category in RU, and whever a post is made to that category, that it automatically creates a new news item on my Manila site. I’ve had…
Thanks for the link and comment , Dave.
Thanks for the link and comment, Dave. Maybe you can help clarify how much of this end users like me needs to understand. I sense the disconnect, too, but I’m not a developer. Maybe I qualify for power-user status, and have hacked away on Frontier and RU enough to make it work with Hawaiian language, my major concern. I’m busy teaching, designing web courses, finishing my MA and trying to get some guitar chops back. While I don’t mind getting my hands dirty with the tech stuff, how deeply does Joe-Average-User like me need to get involved with this issue,…

I’ve been trying to find some ducklings for our daughter to raise, with absolutely no luck. Our state’s Department of Agriculture in its infinite wisdom has set up barriers that make it next to impossible for anyone to bring any kind of live poultry into the state. I’m concerned about our native birds as well, but I’ve been told that their measures go way beyond what is necessary to protect the state. It’s been an enlightening experience. I found an absolutely wonderful site while doing some duck research called The New Agrarian. The site design is excellent, graphics crisp and…
Radio Keola is back on the air.
Radio Keola is back on the air. I finally finished the move to OS X. Time is precious, I’m still working my thesis research, so posts will be infrequent. I just want to make sure this buggah is working OK. So far, so not so good.
Well, I survived the last of my MA classes, and now get to have some fun and begin the research for my thesis.
Well, I survived the last of my MA classes, and now get to have some fun and begin the research for my thesis. My working thesis title: Comparing The Placement of Diphthongs, Vowel Clusters and Stressed Syllables in the Compostions of John Kameaaloha Almeida With Pronunciation Stress In Spoken Hawaiian. If you think that is long you should see it in Hawaiian John Kameealoha Almeida was one of, if not the most important Hawaiian composer, musician and vocalist of the 20th century. He was a native speaker of Hawaiian, and many of his compositions have become standards repetoire for todays…

I watched the beginning of the Miami/Ohio State game yesterday. Unfortunately I missed what turned out to be a spectactular ending. I don’t know how any of the sportswriters and sportscasters could call it an upset. Two undefeated teams that had not yet met. Who the hell knows what is going to happen in a situation like that.
