CivicSpace

Cautiously optimistic

The good news is, the site is back up. The bad news is, we still have not gotten the new server. Hopefully the transition will go smoothly and the added RAM will have this site hopping.

Hopefully.

Loading times in Firefox on my Powerbook G4 are still slowish. If you have slower machines, can you tell me how bad it is on your end? Safari seems to be the only browser to load with no problems ... although the site looks a bit funky in it.

The image galleries are all out of whack. I will be working on them throughout the weekend. This would be a good time to contribute to my caffeine, acetominophen and Snickers fund.

The real bad news is that I tore down the site I had built using CivicSpace to rebuild it using my own Drupal mix. Pitty. I had real high hopes for CivicSpace. It really is not ready for a consumer market.

Blogging made easier with a bit of code

What is a blogging bookmarklet? It is a piece of code you put on the bookmarks or favorites toolbar of your browser. When you want to grab a quote fromm an article on the net, all you have to do is :

(1) highlight the text
(2) click on the bookmarklet

What the javacript in the code will do is pull-out the text highlighted text as a blockquote with a link back to the page; including the title of the article (if it is available on the page's source code).

So take this culturekitchen Blog It! bookmarklet and drop it in your Safari or Firefox browser.

If you have a bit of a problem dropping it in, you can manually create a bookmark in both browsers by dropping the code in the URL section of a bookmark.

On Krypton his name was Kal-El, the Hebrew phrase for "god that is light" in weight--that is, a deity who does not oppress and is so light taht he scoffs at the laws of gravity...In America the man of steel is an outsider who succeeds in a new world. He does so by applying his superhuman powers in a way that Jews typically wished others to behave--by helping the weak...Superman is no Nietzschean <em>Ubermench</em>; instead, he is a sort of New Dealer. Conceived during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, to whom Jews showed deeper loyalty than did any other ethnic voting bloc, Superman signified the yearning to protect the vulnerable and to stimulate the confidence-building efforts at nationalist recovery. That is why he reliably fights for "truth, justice, and the American way." In his humanitarian acts, he is more effective than the golem who protects the jews of Prague; the benefactor whom Siegel and Shuster fantasized into being is less parochial and this more democratic as well.</p> <br class="clear" /> </div> <div class="quotes-author"> <p>— Stephen J.
