I suppose they were free at work or something, but is saving $5 worth having your neighbors think you’re moving out due to Ebola infection?

Oscar doesn’t like flashes
I got an external flash and have since been chasing the cats around with it, allegedly in an effort to learn how to use the thing. I bounced it off the ceiling for this shot, and I guess the earlier shots had left poor Oscar looking just like he does during a thunder storm.

The Billikin is for sale!
Looks like he (she?) needs some sanding and varnish, and maybe a check for rot at the base. It’d be a great spot for that ‘marital aid’ shop you’ve always dreamed of opening! Or maybe just a gift shop selling stuff like this.

Stuff I Like: Bamboo Cutting Board
My friends Acacia and Ray gave me a bamboo cutting board for my birthday or Christmas a couple of years ago. Since then, my other cutting boards have sat lonely and neglected. The bamboo board has several advantages. First, it’s very hard, so even rough chopping doesn’t cut into it much. There are a lot of shapes available, but mine seems perfect – small enough to fit many places on the counter, rounded corners that are pretty and nice for holding, an overall square-ish shape so it’ll stand up for storage and drying. This board at Amazon appears to be about the same size and shape as mine. They’re also very inexpensive, which will be nice if I ever need to replace mine.

Photopress 1.0.2
First of all, I made a lot of changes, in a lot of places, so there’s probably something broken. So, if it doesn’t work, revert to your old version. But what if you didn’t back up your old version?? In that case, head over to the familypress repository for the version you want. Complete with tarballs for your downloading pleasure! (removed – ask if you need an old version) If you need an even earlier version that won’t work with WP 2.1+, those are still at wp-plugins.org.
I added support for Lightbox. I wasn’t able to get it working manually, but this plugin did the trick. Install the plugin, set the Use Album option to Lightbox, and it should work. If you’ve been using tags, all your previous images will automagically use Lightbox too. No Lightbox groups yet because I’m not sure how to make that work.
Based on some comments (yeah, I do read those now and then), I did some testing of non-English characters and found some serious brokenness. The suggestion to remove htmlentities2 was on the right track, but some escaping was still necessary to keep Javascript/TinyMCE happy. The combo of js_escape and attribute_escape seems to work right but those of you who regularly use funky characters should test it out and see if it’s really fixed.
Apparently edit_posts is a bad default capability to use because it’s normally for Editors, not Authors. I’ve set the default to publish_posts instead. If you’re seeing the “Ask the administrator to promote you.” message then you need to go admin and edit the options at Options:Photopress so the uploading capability is something your blogging user can do, such as publish_posts. Sorry for the confusion!
