Sun - September 13, 2009 Too smart for a beginner, not smart enough for an expertIt took longer than I thought to get
teknologi set up with a custom domain name on MobileMe, For anyone who's
interested, here's what it took.
www.teknopagan.com Tue - December 11, 2007 Sat - June 9, 2007 Mon - May 28, 2007 Sun - December 17, 2006 Getting Amazon iframes workingGoing for a better look while providing more
information for my readers. Another of those notes to myself.
www.teknopagan.com Tue - September 19, 2006 NeoWayland NetWork banners and badgeYep, I've been tweaking again. The banners
that I was using at neowayland.net didn't have the correct addresses and were a
little busy. They also didn't match anything else on the site. It was time to
get to work.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - December 17, 2005 My RSS JourneyWhen I uploaded the Pagan•Vigil entries this morning, the
index page wouldn't fully load into the browser. And since the laws of
situational vortices applied, I found two or three other
problems.
On the up side, I found that the the "Recent Comments" and the RSS feed preview from the other blog were what was causing the mysterious side bar resizing. The Feed to Java Script server is down and may not be back up for more than a week considering that it is the week before Christmas.
www.teknopagan.com Sun - November 27, 2005 The Tweak FactorOne of the things that I really really love
about computers is how quick and easy it is to make
changes.
Way back when I was learning layout using ACTUAL cut and paste, if something didn't turn out, you had to redo the entire page. These are the three versions of the NetWork badge, and as you can see they are the same basic thing, with only some settings changed. The top one is the newest, and yes, it works with the color scheme on all my websites.
www.teknopagan.com Wed - November 23, 2005 Technopagan Yearnings Banner - UpdatedThis turned out much more complicated than I
thought. First, for some reason I couldn't transfer the fonts from Domo. I
could find versions of Mephisto and Final Frontier on the web, but all three
Kells fonts were expensive ($20 bucks each). I finally found the original
foundry (P22)
and paid $30 for the set.
You can't use all the embossing or other 3-D effects without careful planning because that creates off-white space around the letters. For Pagan•Vigil, that was part of the effect. For teknologi, I didn't use the 3-D effects because I played with the shapes. But the real killer was matching that blasted green.
www.teknopagan.com Thu - November 17, 2005 Tweaking Mac OS XThe good news is that I found out what was
causing the update problems for Pagan Vigil.
It wasn't my cable company or Itsamac. It turns out that iBlog hands off a good deal of it's work to the Mac OS, and the standard OS X uses a buggy UNIX FTP transfer program. That makes sense if you stop to think about it, Apple wants to make money, so they have poured most of the integration efforts into Apple iDisk. And to "encourage" newbies to use iDisk which is so easy, there is a sub-optimal FTP transfer built into the OS. It will work (sort of) for smaller sites. Anyway there is a freeware Unix program that fixes the problem and makes FTP uploads much faster. And since it is Apple and Unix we are talking about, it is much easier to tweak than Windows would be. Just be careful.
www.teknopagan.com Wed - November 16, 2005 Making it easy for yourselfI'm now writing three blogs and editing the
style sheets directly. Keeping track of the files has become interesting.
www.teknopagan.com Tue - November 15, 2005 What to do for those people without JavaScript turned on?Since iBlog sites are so dependent on
JavaScript, add this code between the <BODY> tag and the <div
id="banner"> tag.
Originally I was trying to work around people not having JavaScript enabled, but since so many of the relative link features use JavaScript, I couldn't do it without adding a ton of unnecessary HTML code. So instead I came up with this. This puts a big yellow stripe at the top of the browser window.

Hello There
This is my no frills blog to cover all the gadgets and gizmos and technology that makes 21st Century life so exciting. Think of it as a messy set of notes that I keep for myself on all sorts of topics. It's really intended for my personal use, but I will explain sometimes as I go along.
My passion is for Macintosh and other Apple products, but I will use others as needed. If my notes and experiences can help or amuse you, so much the better. Categories
