After months of problems with the embedded gallery on my web page (hence no new photo albums) I finally caved in and bought a Flickr membership. Today I was finally able to back up my data from the server and I successfully updated Wordpress, but the Gallery2 update was completely messed up. I spent about » Read More

I haven’t posted anything in ages since I was waiting to put the rest of the Orlando photos on the photoblog. But Mr. WPG2 is misbehaving and suddenly refuses to accept any more uploads of any file to any album. Suspect a plug-in problem. I know I need to upgrade both WP and G2 but » Read More

Aww. Keiko’s big shoulder scratch (gouge is more like it) must have been infected, as there is a big bump on her shoulder under it now. I’m quite certain it’s an abcess and the options for dealing with it are somewhat limited. I decided to take her to the vet and get some advice. There’s » Read More

…St.-Anne-de-Bellevue is! Anyone who thinks that we live far from downtown must have never visited the west island and certainly not this little borough on the westernmost tip of the island!

Well, I have to say I’m a bit sad. Since we got Miette she has never been happy to let Keiko be the dominant mouse (even though Keiko is older and at least at the beginning was larger) and Keiko has been obstinant about not submitting to Miette. As soon as she grew to the » Read More
