Wordle: A Word Frequency Map Generator
Wordle presents a java application that generates word frequency maps from pasted text or an url. For example, here is what I got when I fed it the text of the Declaration of Independence: Kathy Svoboda's web page at Baylor College of Dentistry: And just one more: the president's 9/11 address to the nation: It's addictive!
Meow
Kathy and I have always had cats underfoot, usually 3 or 4 at a time. You can read more about them at our shared web page. Below is a gallery of shots in chronological order spanning about 25 years. It all started with Nugget... Click any image below to enlarge... [gallery=8]
Photographs from Aruba
Kathy and I visited Aruba in 2006 during one of her scientific conferences, so while she was listening to Nobel Prize winners lecture, I was out and about shooting way too many photographs. The island is quite rugged and beautiful. So rugged in fact, I nearly lost the jeep. But that's another story. Click any image below to enlarge... [gallery=7]

Nextgen Gallery Image Display Errors in Internet Explorer When I made my first NextGen Gallery in Wordpress and clicked one of the thumbnails in IE7, the Gallery displayed the image at the bottom of the browser. About one third of the image and the menu options (close, next, prev) were obscured. VERY ANNOYING.
Shutter Reloaded Plugin and Nextgen Gallery Change the Nextgen Gallery plugin to use Shutter Reloaded image display instead of the default thickbox. Shutter reloaded is fast, thin and one the best ways to display pictures in Wordpress if you ask me. See it in action elsewhere in this blog.
Nextgen Gallery Plugin I highly recommend the Nextgen Gallery plugin for managing picture galleries in Wordpress. The package is a full featured photo library management system with uploading, resizing, tagging, slide shows and many other options. Get it.
Technology Category All my posts related to technology will be placed in this category. Think technology in the broad sense as my interests can range from the lunatic fringe to the mundane.
