Technobabbles is Live!

Woot!  After a couple months worth of off-and-on coding, the WordPress theme for Technobabbles is finished, and I launched the site late last night.  I was debating whether or not to actually launch the site with a bunch of pre-written content, or just to launch it empty and let it fill up as it goes.  [...]

2 New Plugins for the Blogs

I’ve just uploaded a couple of plugins for the blogs on joshandmeg.net.

Admin Drop Down Menu
Fluency Admin

Both of these plugins change the way the admin area of WordPress looks.  They can be activated independently of each other, providing a couple different changes.  If you just activate Admin Drop Down Menu, you’ll have the standard admin tabs [...]

As many of you have been changing your blog themes around lately, you’ll notice that some themes don’t include a login link.  Here are a couple of different ways to address this:

you can forego the login link and just create a bookmark to blogs.joshandmeg.net/nameofyourblog/wp-admin
or, since most themes have widgets in the sidebar, you can go [...]

Xavier and Ali’s Birthday Present

Thank you ‘Economic Stimulus’.  Obviously I think the Economic Stimulus Act is a completely idiotic ’solution’ to the slow economy; but, in our current position in life we happen to benefit greatly from it (married, two kids, below the monetary thresholds).  So, to do as we are supposed to do with the money, we [...]

So long Grunt, and farewell, Grunt Jr.

I am a fish killer. An accidental, but continual killer of fish. This is my plight.
Poor Grunt never stood a chance. From the day we brought him home, the little guy just wouldn’t eat. He’d swim around his little bowl, he’d swish his blue tail, and he’d pretend to be interested [...]

We’d like to introduce you to the fifth member of our family. About a week ago, we ventured out to Wal-Mart, in a desperate attempt to spend more time together as a family. I’ve been convinced for the past month or so that Xavier thinks mommy and daddy aren’t allowed to be [...]

Are you still there? I know, I know. I’ve had you on hold forever now, waiting for this much awaited and long-promised update. (The sarcasm dripping from my words is directed at you, Kephart. ) I apologize. My life, well, it’s not just mine anymore. My time belongs to Xavier and Ali, [...]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m still alive. Things have gotten quite busy around here. I think my wife is still alive too, but I’m not sure seeing as how we never see each other any more. Meg, you out there?
All kidding aside, we have been [...]

While Meg was at work the other day, the kids and I decided to get a little creative with Xavier’s racetrack. As you can see from the picture above, it turned out to be the coolest racetrack ever . Xavier and Ali loved it of course.
It was so fun to watch Xavier and Ali [...]

As my hubby so kindly pointed out (about 50 times in the past three days), it’s been awhile since my last post. I tried to remind him that I’ve been busy, what with a job and two kids and all. I even reminded him that the only reason I ever wrote anything on here at [...]

Well, I’ve officially started work at Emler, and so far, so good. The job is easy and the people are pleasant. I honestly can’t complain. (Granted, I’ve only been working there two days now, but whatever.) Anyhow… I have noticed that between just getting back from Ohio, having two munchkins and working, the house [...]

Just wanted to let you all know that Xavier is walking all over the place now! He’ll usually make it across a room to whatever it is he wanted to go see, then plop down. He still has to have something to pull himself up with, but he’s definitely getting there. I’ll [...]

So it’s been what… two weeks since my last post? Shame on me. In my defense though, my laptop bit the the dust and has been out of commission for most of that time. Sparing all the details, the parts I ordered for it came in and I just got it [...]
