interruptions … budgeting my time… investigating on-line publishing … creative ideas (often scorned) … links on blogs…

April 30, 2010

Well, I had good intentions, of course, to stick to my one thing today … but my son asked me to show him the ropes of making a car appointment, getting the repairs done … and then re-newing the insurance. So lots of coming and going…. And not so much “one thing-ing!”

April 18, 2010

Up at 5:30, walked to street breakfast at 6:00 a.m. Pastor P, the street pastor, is worn out, and Dr has ordered “no mission work” for the next couple weeks, so that will be the last street breakfast for a bit. We had a good feast: barbequed hot dogs, coffee, hot . . . → Read More: a “restful” Sunday … and back-ups!

Well, I was up till almost midnight last night, plowing enthusiastically through the Creating A Website book (by Matthew McDonald), after finally – hurrah! – dumping my “joomla” project and switching from Filezilla to WebCEO for FTP purposes.

March 31, 2010

Beautiful sunny morning at Another Chance street ministry! Lots of people out. Wonderful time together.

Back home, I spent a good chunk of the day listing sites (from Google) using my website keyword lists. What a lot of work! But I am really coming to understand how all this works. . . . → Read More: figuring out my “business”

Awesome days!

After spending time on Saturday finishing reading the Query book, and starting reading through (and trying out the recommendations in) the Getting Noticed on Google (Ben Norman) book, I took Sunday easy!

January 25, 2010

I’ve been looking through my website, especially the prayers and meditations I wrote a few years back. Worth re-reading, at least for myself, I think! And I looked through a bind of old “church newsletters” for which I wrote articles… I found the “Easter” one that I thought I had totally lost, . . . → Read More: writing, Olympic flame, website and blog updates

Penticton Pedestrian: Weather!… and French language, and website/blog design… help!

The weather is amazing today. One moment the sun is shining down gloriously out of a pale summer-blue sky, and the heat builds up, urging me to peel off my sweater, and retreat into the coolness of the house, with all its windows closed and covered… and yet, barely have I sat down, and . . . → Read More: Penticton Pedestrian: Weather!… and French language, and website/blog design… help!
