SOFTWARE: ECTO in my dog house … again
Sunday, January 16, 20111. Describe the account you’re using.
Jasper Jottings Daily!!!
https://jxymxu7sn5ho9d.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
WORDPRESS hosted at wordpress
2. If the issue involves communication with your blog system
A post is being made. It was placed on the blog correctly from what I can tell.
3. Some odd hang-up?
Nothing appears to hang.
4. Crash?
Doesn’t crash
5.
I wrote and pushed a post with a forward time stamp. (The whole rationale for ECTO is it is easier than using the WordPress web page. Time setting is still not as easy as it could be, but that’s another matter.)
In looking at the post about an hour LATER, I see it is truncated. Argh!
Quick like a bunny, I go up and see the post is complete in WordPress. Againlike a bunny, I make a backup copy of my pearls of wisdom.
Then, I do “retrieve posts”. The target post comes back complete.
But when I open it, it is truncated.
(We have had this symptom before. Where posts or partial posts are produced but then don’t display correctly int he Client side software. A while ago. But it was never resolved. Haven’t seen it in a while. I think, always suspected, that there is crud in the underlying copy. Maybe an unprintable character or some such?)
Help.
# # # # #
Argh! I hate having “problems”. The ECTO folks are good in support. Just not there on Sunday. Argh!
At least, the post is up for publishing correctly. And, I have a copy.
I think that I have to now reorganize how I do the blog posts.
More work for me. But, I have to keep a running backup of the post. Perhaps prep it in a WP, instead of using the ECTO Client.
Argh!
That’s a waste of the old technology budget.
The downside is that my pearls might be lost. But, then I have learned that pearls aren’t worth much on the resale market! Argh squared!

INTERESTING: Economics that a child can understand
Sunday, January 16, 2011http://www.economnomnomics.com/index.html
*** begin quote ***
Nom nom nom” is said to have originated with the Cookie Monster. *nom nom nom* It has become a preferred way to express voracious eating. Today the meme has spread to everyday conversation.
Jen – “How’s that sandwhich?”
Mark – “Nom nom nom!”
Jen – “I need to get some more noms.”
It is almost certain that the word economics was coined without *nom nom nom* in mind. But if it was not intentional, it was prophetic to put NOM right in the tummy of “economics,” as the concept of noming is so central to economics.
*** end quote ***
Even politicians and bureaucrats?

SOFTWARE: CHROME in the doghouse; end of the queue
Saturday, January 15, 2011GOOGLECHROME, aka CHROME, goes into my doghouse and is relegated to the back of the queue.
The symptom is that all available space is consumed on the hard drive. Only a restart gets it back. It might be POSTBOX2 to blame. But maybe not.
APPLESAFARI, aka SAFARI, is next on the batting lineup.
Argh!

RANT: Al Gore still pitching

The New Global Deal
Posted By: Robyn Greenspan
*** begin quote ***
The farmer began to tell a long, involved story of the events of the car accident, culminating with the other vehicle hitting him and his cow. When the police arrived on the scene, they saw the injured cow and mercifully shot him. “So when the police asked the farmer how he felt, he said, ‘I feel fine.’ Many of us are feeling like that, said Gore.”
*** and ***
Gore cited three major contributors to the climate crisis:
* the global population explosion, which taxes resources
* the dramatic expansion of the power-draining technologies we use
* the way we think about capitalism
*** and ***Gore urged World Business Forum delegates to affect change through political action, and pressure the Senate to release its use of filibusters to place a stranglehold on policies, which, he said, are influenced by special interest groups. “It’s important to change light bulbs, but it’s more important to change the laws.”
*** end quote ***
Dear Ms Robyn,
May I respectfully suggest that that proverbial cow was lucky. It didn’t have to listen to Al Gore.
You, unfortunately, have parse out fact and fiction. “Global Warming”, “Global Cooling”, and all the fads in between are just attempts to “sell” us on a meme that allows them to control us and enriches them. It’s well documented just how much old Al has made from his “Global Warming” efforts. So how do you know where the conflict of interest ends. “Population Overgrowth” aka Malthusianism, “power draining tech” aka Peak Power, and “capitalism” which is not what we have now are all just justifications for the Mundanes to be led by the Elite. Of course, Gore is just one of the Elites to “lead” any that will follow.
The Elite always want to erode anything that stands in the way of following their agenda. Space doesn’t permit a comment to go into depth. And, I’m not sure I have the credentials to do it. But, I do know, what is being shoveled, that poor proverbial cow could produce as well.
:-)

PRODUCTIVITY: Always have a email account to spare?
Friday, January 14, 2011No secret I use a lot of email accounts. For a purpose. For a community. For relatives. For friends. For projects.
Interesting that some ISPs (i.e., Saint Peter’s University Hospital and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital) offer free wifi.
Unfortunately, like most things you get for “free”, they both have their own “unique” opportunities.
Not everyone has a VWBBIE (i.e., a Verizon Wireless Broad Band Service for 70$/month) or an IPAD with the AT&T 3G turned on!
SPUH doesn’t permit email. I chatted with a fellow nerd from a past employment and he had no idea why or even who “decreed” this. But the diktat couldn’t be overturned.
Now clearly with web access, you can use the web front end that most email providers have. But that’s not a very efficient or effective imho. Your really want a unified mailbox for the different account with the capability to send from the correct account.
GMAIL to the rescue.
It was trivial to set this up so that “emergency” could read and write in the “important” accounts.
Now when I need it, I have it.
Kudos to GMAIL.

MONEY: End the FED!

10 Things That Would Be Different If the Federal Reserve Had Never Been Created
Economic Collapse Blog
*** begin quote ***
The vast majority of Americans, including many of those who believe that they are “educated” about the Federal Reserve, do not really understand how the Federal Reserve really makes money for the international banking elite.
*** and ***
Now, the only way that the U.S. government can inject more money into the economy is by going into more debt. But when new government debt is created, the amount of money to pay the interest on that debt is not also created. In this way, it was intended by the international bankers that U.S. government debt would expand indefinitely and the U.S. money supply would also expand indefinitely. In the process, the international bankers would become insanely wealthy by lending money to the U.S. government.
*** and ***
#1 If the U.S. government had been issuing debt-free money all this time, the U.S. government could conceivably have a national debt of zero dollars. Instead, we currently have a national debt that is over 14 trillion dollars.
*** end quote ***
Time to “face the music” or, in this case, the unelected “Fourth Branch of Gooferment” the banking cartel, the Federal Reserve Bank, which ain’t “federal”, “reserves” nothing, and is in no way a “bank”.
We need Ron Paul to pull back the covers and see how badly we have been screwed by a cartel that has monopoly powers enforced by its “friends” in the Gooferment!
Why do we need “anyone” in Gooferment involved in “money”?
When we had gold circulating as money, we had zero politicians and bureaucrats on the payroll to “manage” it.
And, we had gradually declining prices.
We need to get back to that!
