Wave Without A Shore

We aren’t sure what happened. We lost both phone and internet and the tech said it was ‘unusual’ and ‘nothing you could have caused.’ Which sort of makes us think, yep, it wasn’t us. Jane is still having trouble getting online.

Oh, yes, I’m backed up. But it doesn’t help: here’s the details. 1) I knew we were creaking. I wrote to the software people to ask what the max file size was. They were supposed to answer by 2 days ago. They didn’t. I can now answer the question. At about 45,000 people at 115,000k with 2 [...]

We got the stone lantern yesterday. It is so perfect for the scale of the garden. We set a tealight in it last night, and sat out there and just had a quiet drink in the garden after dark, both a slightly somber occasion, remembering family, and a happy one. It’s just exactly what we wanted. There [...]

Closed Circle. We don’t have everything up, but there is a hint of content. We haven’t got an actual ‘anything’ yet, but as Lynn says, you can go push buttons and kick the tires and provide whatever comments you like in whatever venue you like. Now you can see what Lynn’s been working on. Jane [...]

You know one  of my hobbies is genealogy. And you’ve heard the 6 Degrees of Separation theory. Well, I have one for you. You are one. Your parents are 2. Your grandparents are 4 in number. Your great-grandparents are 8. You have 16 great-great (or 2nd-great) grandparents. You have 32 third-great-grandparents. And 64 fourth-great grandparents. Certain observations follow [...]

Thank you all for signing up, and I hope you find it a pleasant place to hang out. I can’t say, because I don’t know who was the 500th member…but you all are the first member AND the 500th. Let’s reach for our next 500!

It has apparently stopped disappearing everytime she makes a move to remove the ‘scaffold’, she has apparently found all the stray asterisks, located the mistake in the instruction book, and, according to Lynn…we are now attempting to handle ‘modularizing’ it, whatever that means, and test it on other browsers: ok on firefox and IE-whatever—and she [...]

http://www.janefancher.com/TheCaptainAndLime/ She’s been doing a hysterical rundown on the woes during my absence and later—

It hadn’t cleared appreciably, and new green algae started growing. Arrgh!f This is where I put on my water chemistry hat and bite the bullet and get the (fairly expensive) phosphate remover. Or, as we say in the marine reef biz, don’t bother getting a test for phosphate. If you’ve got algae growth, you’ve got [...]

The pond is still a murky mess, but the fish are eating, and doing well. They’re spooked because they can’t see in the murk, but they know our voices (try talking to your fish: “Here, fishie, fishie, fishie!”) and will come when called to eat. I’ve also added some bacteria, which hopefully will help. I [...]
