Yet another Wordpress test
Writing on the Phenom Express here again, wondering if things will work wirelessly.
This may, or may not be the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead pictured.

Feeding the King crap
Click for full size
It’s been ages since the last entry here. Time to let the World know I’m still kicking
So here we are, my crab and I on the Barents Sea. Long time no fishing. Last time I hugged a KingCrab was back in 1968 on the good ship Bernice captained by Ed Gundersen off Kodiak island, Alaska. Now these crawling goodies have come to Finnmark, and if you live here you are free to go out and catch what you can eat, and give the rest away. There are lots of them. Too many as a matter of fact. They are known to be invasive and put a heavy strain on other marine life.
It was a bit windy out there this day, and so I got seasick of course, and then I fed the crabs. A case of give and take.

Oslo aircamp
Click for full size
Since my flight from Lithuania got in to Oslo airport at midnight, and today’s leg to Alta takes off at nine, I decided to camp in the nice and dry cave close to the checkin counter. I could tell I was back in Norway by the frequent approving nods at the reindeer skin.
Later today I may have a chance to do a little skateboarding with the luggage. At this point it weighs in at sixty kilos with carryon.

At the cottage

It has been four years since I was here. At that time too it was a night’s stopover, heading east. There is something undeniably mysterious about the pines swimming in the thick grey mist outside- and ever so peaceful.
The trip from Vardø to Volda with Hilde went well. From here to Lithuania is about the same distance - a little over 2000 kilometers.

It has been a long day`s trip for Hilde. From Volda to Vardø.
It is time to enjoy a fresh local cod, and hit the sack.

Can of worms

Here we go again with the Phenom, the Nikon Coolpix 950, and the old Siemens ME 45.
The laptop displaying the Wordpress blog is attached, it should float to the right side of the column.
The original is shot at 1024 740 and then reduced using Ultragraphics on the Phenom to 800 600. When received by Wordpress it is thumbnailed to 400 300 for display, linked to a full sized version that will open in a new window.
Many things can, and will go wrong since the post is scripted through a virtual can of worms before making it (fingers crossed) to the final formated layout.
Let’s see if it works then 21:06:32

Floating images and wrapping text with Postie
Click to see at full size
The sun is out, it looks like spring finally got up even here.So, it is time to get out and away from the computer, right?
Wrong. I have this old Windows CE machine: the faithful LG Phenom Express. It has travelled far and survived many hardships. It will come along camping, and help me stay in touch by mobile phone and GPRS. I see these little critters are getting impossible to find these days- I suppose they are dismissed as relics from the stoneage, but still, they are quite amazingly powerful cigarbox typewriters.
So, naturally I’m setting up a blog to receive posts by email, and also to display any images I attach properly formatted, with CSS controlled text flow to the left or to the right. It’s faster to type, and the original file is much more human-readable.
*My faithful LG Phenom on Old Unfaithful*
For testing I am putting the first image here above to the right, and the the second to the left, using the “float” property to flow text around. When clicked they should display at full size in a separate window. The geek-in-me insists that i **MUST** make some resident macros for the divs that position images: hit ctrl-l and the flow-text-left-template is entered automatically. Wordpress will resize uploaded images to a width of 400 by default, but sometimes this should be overridden. And then, and then, and then . . . maybe by the end of summer the system will be ready. . . in the meanwhile I’ll just stay put and THINK ABOUT communicating.
Time for a cup of tea, methinks. Hope these images float to where I want them to float, and that the pseudo-cron that tells Wordpress to check for new posts on the secret email address every fifteen minutes will actually do so.
