I have found a new feature for the comments on my blog, if you hit the Enter key in your comment, it will now be displayed on your comment so you can now format your comments so that you can have paragraphs (I know of only 2 people who post here that might make us of this) So now posts should look better, this is also retroactive, the previous posts that the writer use the Enter on will now show it.

Published on: September 8, 2005

I just got the latest version of the bBlog software and installed it on my site, it all looks fine. I have kept my modifications that I have made to my site, so you the users/readers should not see any changes. The changes are mainly on the admin side of the site. I don’t really like the new interface on the admin side of the program, but the added features that it gives me out weigh the stuff I don’t like in the look and feel. It will be just a matter of time till I get use to it. One of the nice features is the mass deletion of comments; this probably will be used on spam. Also there is mass approval of comments. I am still looking forward to the image verification for comments, but that is promised for version .8 so till then I will still have to deal with spam comments, which all will be deleted. If you my users/readers find any problems please leave a post here with what the problem was and how you got it so I can recreate it, I will read them and look into it

What do Hurricane victumes need most?

Is it food? Water? Shelter? Well according to Plan “Parenthood” no they don’t need those 3 things most. Plan “Parenthood” thinks they need abortions most. This looks to me that Plan “Parenthood” is just pushing their addenda, yes I admit I am pushing my addendahere, but the difference is I am not asking people for money to “help” people just to push my addenda. I still say if you want to donate to the people that need help donate to a group that will give out food, water, and shelter.
LCMS World Relief
The Salvation Army
Catholic Charities
And others.

I saw this over at Pittsburgh Bloggers I am just going to cut-n-past it here below and link over to it.

“Due to the number of individuals and organizations that have extended a helping hand, Chief Executive Onorato announced today the creation of a hotline for residents who want to donate food, clothing, money, housing and other assistance to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Please call CONTACT Pittsburgh Inc. at (412) 423-0202 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. if you are interested in offering your assistance.”

“Individuals or families who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina and who have temporarily relocated to our region may also contact the hotline if they are in need of aid.”

I personally spoke with a woman who is there at CONTACT Pittsburgh, and she was thrilled that the blogging community would become aware of the hotline. Please contact the above phone number and let them know how you’d like to help (food, supplies, volunteering, and even offering your home to refugees)!

On a related note, CONTACT Pittsburgh (normally) is a 24-hour Suicide/Crisis hotline that is always looking for volunteers. They offer 4-hr hour shifts and are very flexible to your schedule. They also could desperately use your help. You can view their website by clicking this link.”

As of today we have 3 Tropical Storms in the Atlantic. The names of all 3 are Maria, Nate, and Ophelia. At this time only Tropical Storm Ophelia is the only one that presents a danger to Land. It is also predicted to become a Hurricane. And we still have 2 1/2 months to go in this Hurricane season.

Published on: September 6, 2005

For now to stop some of the spammers I have renamed the trackback file. I will name it back later when I feel like it. But now since I have not ever gotten a real trackback, and nothing but spam via the trackback API. I will be getting alot of 404’s in my error log for now. Maybe this will get my site put on some type of spammer blacklist as being brocken.

Tropical Storm Nate is here

Comments: Comments Off on Tropical Storm Nate is here
Published on: September 5, 2005

We now have Tropical Storm Nate in the Atlantic. So far we only had one major storm this year. Lets hope that we only have 1 major storm. I don’t think Nate will be a major storm, I don’t even think Nate will make it to a Hurricane either. There is a possible Tropical Storm above Florida right now. If this formation holds together across Florida, it could form into something in the Gulf of Mexico, just as Katerina did, she was only a Cat 1 when she entered the Gulf, but grow rapidly into a cat 5 in the Gulf. So if this Tropical Depression that is over Florida at this time, makes it to the Gulf we could see something of interest later on in the week, but that is only if it makes it to the Gulf.

A nice bike ride today

Published on: September 5, 2005

I went one a nice bike ride today to visit my parents in the south hills. I decide to bypass Mount Washington so I took the T down and then hopped onto route 19. I forgot how many hills route 19 had on it. But I got a good bike ride in. I was going to ride back home, but it was 9 pm and my mother did not want me on the roads after dark. I told her that I would be fine I had all the lights that I needed. But you know how mothers are, she told me that I was going to ride back home with my father in his truck, so what choice did I have, so I got a lift home in my dads truck, oh well.

I am planning on a ride tomorrow with a friend. I am going to show him 2 of the trails that are on the Mon.

Hurricanes this year and last year

Comments: Comments Off on Hurricanes this year and last year
Published on: September 4, 2005

This year has been very active for hurricanes. Last year Ivan was born as a Tropical Depression (#9) on September 2. Here we are now on September 4 and we have Tropical Storm Maria, the 12th named storm for this year. Maria was formed on September 1 as a Tropical Depression (#14). Last year during September we had a total of 5 Hurricanes/Tropical Depressions that lived in that month (2 of them were formed in August of that year, and lived into September of last year) Last year we also made it up to Tropical Storm Otto (Otto was formed November 29th of 2004 and lived as late as December 3rd) so at this point of this year we have had 5 more Tropical Depressions formed above what we had last year. I will admit I find Hurricanes and Tropical Depressions some what interesting, I been following these things for a bit this year, I started my first post this year about them on Hurricane Jose. Also part of me is looking forward to next year. My own name is up for one of the names to be used next year, maybe we will see Hurricane Michael next year.

Well I heard that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has passed way. That is sad news, and not what we need at this time with the disaster in New Orleans. My condolences go out to the Rehnquist’s family. We have been hit with some bad news as of late, the devistating news of New Orleans and now the Chief Justice has passed from this valley of tears.

The Salvation Army’s Satern group (the ham radio operation branch of the Salvation Army) Has a web site setup for people to submit info about their loved ones and friends. So if you need some info on your loved ones, try there, I have heard that the Red Cross does not want to be bothered with that kind of stuff, but the Salvation Army wants to help people out in this area. The Red Cross has asked people to stop calling about health and wellfair questions (This is what I have heard over the ham bands).

Some Audio from the short wave

Comments: Comments Off on Some Audio from the short wave
Published on: September 1, 2005

Well Yesterday I picked up a converter for the Phone jack of the Short Wave radio. Tonight was I was surfing the waves I came onto a show called “The Power Hour” This is some of the extreme far right wing nut job militants. This is not the worst of the stuff that I have heard, but this is very mild compared to what I have heard on the short wave. I will try to record some of the news from a foreign country tomorrow; I will try for Radio Sweden if I can get it, other then that I will try for what ever I can get tuned in.
Click here for the mp3 of the show, sorry that audio is not that great but that is the nature of Short Wave radio listing. Well enjoy.
