New Orleans and Baton Rouge

I’d only been to New Orleans for Jazz Fest so it was interesting to go there for aimless fun. We pretty much just walked around, shopped, and ate. We stayed at the W New Orleans, which would have been nice enough if we weren’t aware of the W in the French Quarter. Maybe the rooms there suck (I’m sure they don’t), but it’s got a sweet courtyard bar area. We spent most of our time wandering around the French Quarter, and the patch between the quarter and the W is a little ugly, so it would have been nice to stay there.

Photopress 1.5.1

I think I’ve finally fixed a bug that’s been haunting album categories for a long time. This version should fix the dropdown category lists, which I believe also fixes the thing where categories were getting labelled Default upon update. I also made the popup menu a little prettier.

Oops! Some craziness with the version numbering. It should be 1.5.1 – thanks for pointing out the mistake.

Egg Nog

Egg Nog

After you make egg nog yourself you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with that gooey yellow stuff in the carton. It only takes a couple of minutes and there are only a couple of ingredients. To make two servings you’ll need:

  • about a cup of heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • about a tablespoon of honey
  • nutmeg
  • booze, such as whiskey, bourbon…or Armagnac

Whisk the eggs until they’re very fluffy, then whisk in the honey and booze (which you can pretend will kill any salmonella in the eggs). Folding in the cream may maintain the fluffiness, but I usually just whisk that in too, along with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Pour it into some glasses, grate on a little more nutmeg, and enjoy!

Trying out iphone posting…

I got the WordPress iPhone app a while ago but haven’t tried it – Safari actually works pretty well itself. Looks like there’s a way to post photos though, which sounds fun. Here’s one of a disgusting fur pile:

Flickrpress 0.3 for WP 2.7

I updated flickrpress to work with WordPress 2.7 and also added and fixed some things. It’s now possible to insert a variety of photo sizes, rather than just tiny squares. There’s a template function that you can use in your sidebar to display some flickr photos. Note that you’ll need a flickr API key to use this plugin. Here’s an example of what this plugin does:
