The movie, Descent.
Jane Ullah @ August 21, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Well, well, well. I’m on round two of “negotiations” i.e. another look-see or interview. Just when I was lamenting to Matt about how things didn’t seem so good. An interesting thing that happened today: I actually turned down an interview. I was mentally kicking myself about it, but Matt reminded me of the facts: city [...]

Things on my mind
Jane Ullah @ August 20, 2007 # 2 Comments
After trying several free off-line feed readers, I settled on FeedDemon and paid for the service. Since then, it’s been indispensable to me because I keep in touch with odd technologies and have my pulse on the news media. Especially, since I don’t have a cable subscription, I need to get my news fix somewhere. [...]

What’s the deal with Podpress?
Jane Ullah @ August 18, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Okay, for over a week, the Podpress plugin author’s site has been down. I’ve just read on the Wordpress.org site that they didn’t have enough money to keep the site running. Really? His plugin was very popular and I can imagine that must have tasked his webhosting providers. However, I think something else is at [...]

The highs and lows
Jane Ullah @ August 17, 2007 # 2 Comments
I’m discovering that I can be a very impatient person sometimes. It’s frustrating to feel like someone else holds your future in their hands, but I know that there are always other options i.e. there’s no one sole option. It’s always a question of whether or not one is willing to go against the odds [...]

Watching the number 23 and plugins galore!
Jane Ullah @ August 17, 2007 # One Comment
Ok, scratch Tallulah Gorge. Events conspired to prevent us from making it. Nevertheless, we visited one of our favorite spots (by Lake Lanier) and Matt got a good swimming workout while I read by the lake. It would be considered in the realm of TMI (too much information) if I went into the reasons [...]

A lazy day and Tallulah Gorge
Jane Ullah @ August 16, 2007 # One Comment
Following our visit to his mom’s place, we headed down to his dad’s which isn’t too far. Another sleepover and today’s here! I’ve been installing some cool plugins and most notably, the TinyMCE advanced plugin which supercharges the standard TinyMCE that comes with Wordpress. I’ve uninstalled the WPG2 plugin because being unable to access [...]

Putting authors on blast
Jane Ullah @ August 15, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Matt and I just spent a night at his mom’s. I love going there because there are lots of books for me to read. She (Margie) and her daughter (Maggie) are into reading books just like Matt and I. It was just funny how we were all in the same room with our noses in [...]

Shaken by the Storm of the Century
Jane Ullah @ August 14, 2007 # 2 Comments
I just got done watching a movie adaptation of a book penned by Steven King. If you are Stephen King buff, chills are probably making their way down your spine. The name of this movie is “Storm of the Century” and it made me alternately sad and pissed. I’ll try to express my thoughts on [...]

Getting hits
Jane Ullah @ August 12, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Well, it hasn’t been two days since I put my poems and other stuff up. I’m already getting some hits and I hope they keep coming in to fill my adsense coffers! I used to be on the first page (1st or 2nd link actually) of Google SERPs (search engine results pages) for a [...]

I don’t want to wait in vain…
Jane Ullah @ August 11, 2007 # No Comment Yet
I ripped this title from Maxi Priest’s song “Waiting in Vain.” I’m applying it to my job hunt. I’m currently at the 2nd stage where ones references are being checked out, etc. It’s a very interesting process and if one doesn’t have the right attitude, very disheartening. I recently fell into the comparison trap that [...]
