OK, next issue …

How do you break this bad boy into “pages”. Seems to me every Monday I should start out with a fresh page. Time to RTFM.

Think that as if by magic, this is going to split after 10 posts. May as well wait and see what happens.

Making a Child Theme – testing…

eAnesthesia - an iPhone App
eAnesthesia - an iPhone App

This is more than a little scary. An iPhone app that does the anesthesia calculations. Think about it. What was iPod thinking when they approved this app? Do we really want our anesthesia person playing with their iPhone while they are supposed to be keeping us alive but out of it. What if they drop the iPhone during your operation, what then?

I am learning to make a child theme this afternoon and the results will be “indeterminate”.

Well, I think I have learned enough for now. Just made a few little “starter tweaks”.

Just tinkering…

peony
peony from late friday

Just tinkering around with WP. Still haven’t gotten a good grip on the features. The favorite son-in-law suggested trying this theme.  It is a generic plain theme which encourages one to tart it up a bit.

Carlton is off to a Derby Party this afternoon. I do not do anything related to horse racing anymore. Figure that I am old enough to start working on seriously eccentric. If I had less money, I would be considered crazy – but I think my bank account still supports the eccentric tag.

Okay, let us figure out how to tweak the sidebar.

Just what are those medals for?

cdc_docWe have seen a lot of this lady on TV lately. Not too sure who she is. Someone from the Public Health Service. But the question is: What is with the ribbons. Ribbons are sort of mini-versions of medals. So, what are hers for? Good conduct, perfect attendance? Maybe a Sharp Power Pointer Badge. In-country medal for service during the SARS outbreak? Did she fall on an anthrax ridden letter? I suppose her medals are as worthy as many modern military citations.She most likely facilitated, oversaw, managed, led, supported, supervised, headed, directed, piloted, steered all manner of task forces.After having facilitated, oversaw, managed, led, supported, supervised, headed, directed, held, piloted, steered numerous committees.

Waiting for the pig flu

maskSpent 8 plus hours today at the volunteer job. Major effort in our department “Employee HEALTH” (not “Employee SICK”) is being sure that all 2,000 plus hospital employees are update on how to wear protective gear. Now you would think that they would know that already. After all… it is a hospital. We do have sick people here.

But, what else do I have to do? Might as well do some good. Having no medical skills – I run the computer, xerox machine and the errands.

Day three with the WordPress system. Think I might stick with it. It sure is easier than my old do it yourself system.

Looking better…

Well, this sure looks better than yesterday’s version.

And let us take a little timeout from blog tinkering and pig flu prep to welcome Senator Specter to the Blue Team. I always liked him. Except for Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas of course. Some grudges you can hold forever. Or at least as long as Thomas is on the highest court. Which will be longer than Mr Specter or I will be around.

Flu prep. My hospital’s ER had the busiest day it ever had on Monday. Everybody who sneezed showed up. In the bowels of the hospital we are busily fitting people with N95 masks. And wondering where was all this flu concern last fall, last fall when we were trying get people to get flu shots.

I think I might learn to like this WordPress thing.

Hello world!

Take any picture - the bendix g15

I am rather underwhelmed by wordpress. I haven’t a clue as to what is going on with it. Mostly, I guess I am just ignorant about it.

But, it is what most every one seems to be using for blogging. Remember, boys and girls, I started this before anyone heard of blogs.  See the first entry 28 apr 2001.

OK, let us figure out how to stick a picture in the page.

Well, there it is – a picture. The Bendix G15. That was my first computer. Bendix also made washing machines. This fine blue machine pre-dated “hello world” by almost 20 years.

Anyhow, here goes.

Ignore all the links, buttons etc...
