Spam of the Day
Subject: Cleo’s wide-ranging shaft.
I guess that invites the question: Was Cleopatra a Drag King? (And, yeah, ABC’s News in Science doesn’t seem to know the difference between women who perform up as men and men who perform as women.)
That is all. As you were, comrades.
Holganizer Mosaic
The Holganizer
Someone has written a little web application that Holganizes photos. It crops to square, adds a border and light leaks and can, if you want, convert to black and white. Not bad. My only complaint is that it shrinks the image to 300 x 300 pixels, which is kind of small.
For more examples, go look at their gallery page.

O Gross
Either the frost we’ve had the past few nights hasn’t been enough to kill off the evil allergens, or I’m coming down with a cold. I woke up with a sore throat this ayem, and I’ve been sneezing and coughing and cranky as hell. Kill me now!
Searching
I just noticed that this template is lacking a search form. Eeep! All is well now. I’ve stuck one at the top of the center column at the bottom.
Funnily enough, the code supplied in the WordPress documentation did not work. I lifted this directly from my previous template, and it seems to be working fine.
And, another toy cam photo, just because I can.

Toy Cameras
Autumn Sunrise 2004, from my toy camera set on Flickr
As much as I’ve been playing around with toy cameras lately, I’m surprised to notice that I hadn’t uploaded a bunch of digital toy camera images to my Flickr stream. That has now been remedied. They were all taken a few years ago, with either a Vivitar or JamCam. Obviously, the quality is low, low, low. I really like how some of them turned out, though.
Image Gallery
By the way, if you are using Firefox, the new image gallery format may not be showing. I don’t know why, as it’s working properly in every other browser I tested. I tried clearing my cache, re-started Firefox, and even rebooted my machine, but it didn’t refresh properly for me. What finally worked–duh–was to close out all my tabs, then clear the cache.
Frost
Rising Sun on Fog and Frost, Autumn 2004
I woke up this morning to a thin layer of frost on my car’s windows. It was too thick to wipe away with a towel, but not really so thick as to need scraping. It was frost, though, and that’s all that matters.
Hallelujah!
Adventures in Coding
I’ve been tearing my hair out, trying to figure out why all the captions for the final image in every post were flush up against the following paragraph. No matter how many paragraph or hard breaks I stuck in the damned things, there was still no space between the two lines. O gross! That’s the sort of thing that would make the baby Shelly cry.
It occurred to me, after fiddling with it for nearly an hour, to try sticking a couple of hard breaks inside the end center tag. I don’t know why it worked, but it did. Weird!
