Discovering Plug-ins

WordPress became my blog platform of choice about 6 years ago. I cannot believe how much it has changed over the years. For a while we were getting revisions and updates every couple of weeks – and that was a total pain in the ass. Every time there is an update I have to run the download and install on almost 80 websites. That takes a lot of time and there is always the chance that something will go wrong.

Things have lightened up a bit now – thank God! But now I have been poking around the WordPress site and finding a lot of new features that are being tested and a whole lot of apps that are available for free download. I am going to try a few on on of my sites and see if they work as well as they seem.

Returning the Favor

One of my good friends, Spencer, is doing a lot of yard work and asked me to help him out this weekend. He has helped me a lot in the past, so I just couldn’t say no. I believe that friendship is a two way street. If someone helps you out, then you have an obligation to help them when they need it from you. So, I’ll be playing in the dirt at Spencer’s house this weekend. Stop by and bring us some cold drinks, will ya?

Cables to the computers

The cables to all of the computers in our house run everywhere and my first goal this week is to get all of the Network Cables run to all of the computers in our home and in the home office where we have our delivery business set up.

To set up all five of our computers we will need a lot of computer cables and the adaptors to make sure everything gets hooked up right. We have five printers, two web cams and one scanner hooked up to our system and we had to order a lot of different cables to make this deal work. We found a great web site that has every cable you could hope to ever use in stock and ready for rapid delivery. ShowMeCables.com is a great web site, very easy to use and a lot of useful information geared towards people like me who are not very computer Savoy. With everything from connectors to fiber optic products, Show Me Cables is my main supplier of all of my computer cable needs, the selection of products is first rate, they ship very quickly and I get the right product every time I order cables from this first rate company.

New screens

We have ordered new screens for our patio doors and can not wait for them to get here. We ordered a french door screen from Stoett Industries. I love the way these screens make our patio seem a part of the house. Besides keeping out the bugs and allowing us to us our patio most days of the year this great French Door screen keeps people from seeing into our patio and into our house from that vantage. Stoett Industries has a fine web site with a great selection of screen doors that can be use on patios and garages to make the space a whole lot more usable and a lot more user friendly at the same time.
