It was deja vu all over again. I have my encrypted passwords and naturally none of them worked. 

I KNEW that LiveWriter was used before with this blog. Why was it not working this time?
Usually when something like this happens I leave myself a note.  I looked hither and yon. Not there.

Just when I had given up, I decided to review my previous messages. There it was!  I left myself the note right here on the blog itself on July 5, 2010 12:44 PM.

Now the real test is will it publish?  Will it publish with an embedded link and a photograph.

We can only find out if we hit PUBLISH.

Let it be, number one!\

This is all a matter of personal taste for me.  I am sure Ms. Lane know a lot about the subjects covered in the podcast, as we know Amber does. But could I listen to her as faithfully on a podcast similar to Amber’s commandN?  I think not.

It could partially be that she’s just not Leo.  The repartee twixt Leo and Amber has always, back to their helpful antics on Call for Help been a pleasure to watch.  Though I enjoyed Screen Savers, where Sarah and Leo once appeared together, Call for Help was more my speed.  It dealt with real life interaction with computers rather than cutting edge and hacking to the maximum effect.

Because I have been a fan of the TWiT format, back to the days when they broadcast from a restaurant in Corte Madera, I will not abandon The Social Hour based on one podcast.  It also covers a subject of immediate interest.

The gist of the matter, this is a holiday, last year, I didn’t know if I would make or not.  I am so happy I did.

Love is good.  Don’t waste it!!!

Hogmanay!!!

Then the proverbial fan became struck and my support structure came together with amazing speed and solidity.  I can only say thank you so many times, but consider it a looped messages that will only end when I do.

In Movable Type, to use on off line editor, you need use what is called the “Webservice” password.

Who knew?  Not me, obviously.

Of course when I went back to the helpful pages on how to use Movable Type blogs with LiveWriter, they say to use the Webservice password.  What they DON’T say is that is different the the password you’ve already used hundreds of times to make online entries into the blog.

Well, if a search engine, such as Google or Bing gets you to this page, you can find that password when you are signed into your Movable Type account, near the bottom of the Profile page. 

It even gives you the option of revealing that most annoying of computer features the ***** line.

Good luck!!

If the blog entries have been sparse and few between, we are going to pull the cancer card.
Starting with the discovery of a lump in the neck the day before thanksgiving and up to last week I have gone through a roller coaster of emotions. “Could be cancer, could be something else.” This was the phrase that put a damper on getting treatment started.  The next was “Could be lymphoma, could be carcinoma.”

Where we are now is it could be only aggressive or it could be aggressive combined with slow growing.  To determine that a sample of the bone in my hip needs to be taken tomorrow. 

The chemotherapy begins on Thursday.  We’re expecting blizzard like conditions on Wednesday.  My son was born during a blizzard, so I will take that as a good sign.

As I recall the 1960’s, they took forever.  Starting with Eisenhower still President and ending with his VP, Nixon as the same, everything in between seemed so full of moment, as narrated by ...

It isn’t quite winter yet. That begins tomorrow at 17:47 UTC. (That’s 5:47 PM in London.)

However, it would appear Winter decided to send a calling card prior to arriving. I look out the second story window of my office down onto the driveway where my car should be parked and see a pile of snow with an antennae protruding from it like a sapling freshly broken from the soil....
