Knowledge, Status and Web sites

I have been doing a few little techy jobs recently. These arethe kind of things I slip into my spare time (which is usually very early in the morning).

  • Experimenting with Knowledge Base Publisher. I was going to post all the little things I needed to remember in the “Techy” category of my blog, but I didn’t want to bore people subscribed by a feed reader. KBPublisher works quite well and has never yet fallen over. My copy is here: http://graham.doel.org/knowledge-base/
  • Upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10 which is excellent. The best yet. they have sorted all the little problems with printing. This time I plugged a printer in. Went to add printer and it was smoother than adding a printer in Windows. My sister in law needed a new computer so I bought a cheap one from Ebuyer and installed Ubuntu 7.10. It works great (after a few teething problems with their old monitor). Now they have a speedy computer and all for £150!
  • Installing the “StatuPress” plugin for wordpress and using it on the home page of my blog. The home page now shows my facebook status in almost real time. If, for some bizzare reason, you wanted to add my status feed to your feed reader it is here.
  • Designing a wordpress theme for the church web site. I am using the pages function in order to theme the site into four areas: Thinking of attending, Attended recently, Attend regularly and News. This is slow progress because it is not high on my priority list.
