So I quickly moved it to the FREE hosting at GoDaddy. I am going to upgrade the account so I can get rid of all the ads.

Maybe next week….

Hello WP2.7 http://dandc.com/blog/2008/12/12/hello-wp27/ http://dandc.com/blog/2008/12/12/hello-wp27/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:47:14 +0000 dswartze http://dandc.com/blog/?p=61 I recently upgraded to WordPress 2.7 … I like it!!!

The Admin Dashboard is nice, very nice. I had thought that WP Auto Upgrade and WP Backup was baked into the core, but if I deactivate the plug-ins (which I used in WP2.6) the Backup and Upgrade options disappear.

But that is okay … I’ll keep playing with it.

Qik allows anyone with a supported phone/pda to stream live video over the Internet. Think of it as Ustream.TV, but for phones.

Here is my “Hello World!” test.

Uninstalled SP3 http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/18/uninstalled-sp3/ http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/18/uninstalled-sp3/#comments Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:57:40 +0000 dswartze http://dandc.com/blog/?p=52 After installing Windows XP SP3 I started having issues with my USB ports. After Googling, I see that many people are having the same issue. So I decided to uninstall the update.

I am back to SP2 and my USB ports kinda work. ActiveSync only recognizes my XV6800 Windows Mobile phone about 25% of the time. And I can no longer attach my Sansa e280.

Bummer! It is times like this I hate computers!

A note from David Brickner about his visit to Wasilla, Alaska http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/10/a-note-from-david-brickner-httpwwwjewsforjesusorgpublicationsrealtime6301/ http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/10/a-note-from-david-brickner-httpwwwjewsforjesusorgpublicationsrealtime6301/#comments Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:45:49 +0000 dswartze http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/10/a-note-from-david-brickner-httpwwwjewsforjesusorgpublicationsrealtime6301/

Last month I had the privilege of speaking at a large church in the small town of Wasilla, Alaska. At the time, few people outside of Alaska had heard of Wasilla; now almost everyone in America knows that it is the hometown of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate. She not only grew up in Wasilla; she served as its mayor before being elected governor of Alaska. The Palins now attend the church where I spoke; in fact, during the second service the entire family stood before the congregation as their newborn son was dedicated to the Lord.

D-Link DSM-210 10″ Wireless Internet Photo Frame http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/04/d-link-dsm-210-10-wireless-internet-photo-frame/ http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/04/d-link-dsm-210-10-wireless-internet-photo-frame/#comments Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:49:17 +0000 dswartze http://dandc.com/blog/2008/09/04/d-link-dsm-210-10-wireless-internet-photo-frame/ D-Link DSM-210 10″ Wireless Internet Photo Frame

This is the future of picture frames. If my mom/dad and mother/father-in-law ever read my blog, then they will know what they will probably be getting for Christmas (so mom, do not cancel your Internet connection!).

Being able to snap a picture on my cell phone, having it uploaded to Flickr and then have it appear on a digital picture frame like the DSM-210 will be great. (I currently have both my parents and in-laws using Slickr, which is a Windows screensaver that displays pictures from my Flickr stream.)

Huck PAC - Blogs - Sarah Palin http://dandc.com/blog/2008/08/29/huck-pac-blogs-sarah-palin/ http://dandc.com/blog/2008/08/29/huck-pac-blogs-sarah-palin/#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:27:54 +0000 dswartze http://dandc.com/blog/2008/08/29/huck-pac-blogs-sarah-palin/
Sarah Palin is a pleasant surprise for those of us who had hoped that Senator McCain would pick a principled and authentic conservative pro-life leader. Sarah Palin is both principled and authentic. As a Governor, she also brings an important balance of understanding of the critical domestic issues that is needed and that the Democrats have ignored with their ticket. Governor Palin is smart, authentic, tough, and a dynamic choice that will remind women that they are not welcome on the Democrat’s ticket, they have a place with Republicans.
