Ah Ha – Chris’ Daemon.

Sussed it. Remembered that the visual Editor is what mangles the emded code. turned that off, and away we go.

As Helen has shown, later versions of WordPress don’t suffer the bug (Frantic Gardner is on WP 2.2, this is still running 2.0, ought to upgrade it, current version 2.21)

It was hare to start with.

You are The Tower

Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.

The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.

The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for “false concepts and institutions that we take for real.” You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What’s most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

Rubbish Websites

Our washing machine has stopped working, no idea why yet. It had stopped at the end of the cycle, fuse in the plug had blown. Replaced fuse, but other than the power light coming on nothing happens – motor, pump, valve solenoids, none do anything. Kinda busy with other things right now, and don’t want to waste a morning fiddling with it. I don’t think calling out someone to look at it is worth it, given then likely cost of that.

It was a cheap Indesit, bought about 1996 as we needed one when we moved house, and it was what they had in a local shop. It’s worked pretty faultlessly all this time. Maybe it’s just time to pension it off.

So been avoiding other tasks by looking up machines on the web. God there are so many useless sites on the web. Just presenting? listings of machines is useless, I need some way of filtering for features rather than peruse the listing for each machine to identify those I’m interested in (no I don’t need a zillion programs, but somethings, like larger wash capacity, higher spin speeds etc. would be useful for us).

And I want to know about delivery, since I don’t want to be waiting 3 weeks or whatever for a new machine, so vague ’8-15 days isn’t helpful’. I suspect the problem is? lot of places don’t hold stock, they order it from the manufacturers once you order it, so? they don’t know for sure what the timescale is. Some however do let me lookup the delivery dates before ordering, which is very sensible.

Of course looking at machines gets more confusing given all the multiple brands aimed at different market segments when they are all owned by the same comapny and made in the same factory….

Sigh……

Now, I feel much better :-)

Granny Racing

This could be fun at Melrose, or a rain sodden evening on a soggy campsite.

Well, it’s not hatched yet……

Yes, this an Easter Egg, yes she has had it since Easter (as well as the ballerina one stil in the pantry). She said today that she was going to keep it until Easter, to which we pointed out she would probably be getting more eggs then.

So then she dicided to finally start eating it tonight.

Certainly not a case of like Mother like Daughter then :-)

For Jan :-)

The new hair.

Teleportation.

In true Butterbean fashion, she toddled out into the hallway (I saw her from the kitchen sit down). a couple of minutes later I looked round and she’d fallen asleep? – latest in a line of? ‘I think I’ll just sleep here’ moments.

Sleeping

Not the most convenient of places, but me and SB have been working on a a teleportation device. Seems to work ok.
