Plugin Update: Advanced RSS 2.6

Some improvements:

  • Safe for servers that don’t fully support the plugin as it simply wont be included and they will get a friendly error message below the activated plugin in their plugins administration screen telling them exactly what to ask their server’s administrator.
  • More descriptive error messages in place of widget if a feed goes bad.
  • New Twitter template.

Gazebo Project Worklog #1

I’m building a gezebo, why I’m not sure, however what I do know is that it will be great once completed. The project was designed completley in Google Sketchup, which helped me work out complex angles and otherwise difficult to calculate measurements with ease. The gazebo will be eight sided, with seven sides filled in the a lower wall section and upper window of glass/pvc. The entrance will likley feature a pair of 620 wide 8 pane french doors.

On day 3 I have completed five of eight posts. The first one wasn’t great and took over an hour, the fifth one is somewhat better and took about half the time. Some pics attached.
