Just for comparison, I ordered two 36 exposure rolls of Kodak BW400CN film. This is a black and white film that, like Ilford XP2 Super 400, can be developed anywhere using the C-41 process. That means cheap film development at Costco. Somehow the Kodak B&W film is cleaner. I’m going to explain it poorly, but [...]

Force logout Mac users
Yet another one of those write this down Jan, it will come up again posts. There’s almost certainly a better way to force log out absent users on a Mac but heck, this works for me. To kill off all the processes of a user named joe who’s left logged in but used the user [...]
Holga 120 CFN for Christmas
For Christmas, one of my brothers gave me a Holga 120 CFN. This is a camera that takes 120 film and is entirely made out of plastic. Even the lens element is plastic. Considering my infatuation with older film cameras, this really was a great gift. I’m always looking at eBay for a new vintage [...]
Using WP-PageNavi with the Elemin theme
Update: Added a conditional to ensure that wp_pagenavi() runs once. The Elemin theme has it’s own built-in page navigation after the posts. It’s attractive, but not quite as flexible as the WP-PageNavi plugin. With this plugin you can put a page counter, link to the start and end pages, etc. It’s a cool add-on and [...]
It’s not my fault, the wife uses Internet Explorer 8
For my home PCs I typically run the latest and greatest web browsers. I even run Internet Explorer 9 which is even not that bad™. Lately I’ve been vacillating between Firefox and Chrome. At my wife’s work they’re now using Internet Explorer 8. That’s an improvement, they’ve been on version 6 for years. This blog’s [...]
Ilford XP2 Super 400
One of the appeals of shooting film is black and white photography. It’s the other side of the coin for color photos and somehow it tells a slightly different story. There are some really good fine grain films out there such as Kodak Tri-X 400, Ilford Delta 400 Professional, and Fujifilm Neopan 400 Professional. I’ve [...]
Fun with oEmbed and Twitter
This tweet is being displayed using oEmbed between WordPress and Twitter. This capability was added a few minutes ago after I pasted Otto’s code snippet into my theme’s functions.php file: So can an oEmbed’ed tweet also embed the Youtube video?youtube.com/watch?v=UfcNoM… — Jan Dembowski (@jan_dembowski) December 21, 2011 That’s pretty remarkable. I’ve embedded a tweet that [...]
Themify child theme fix
Update: Themify fixed the issue and an update is now available. The child theme fix is no longer needed. I updated my Elemin theme to the latest and greatest and ran into a problem. They’ve changes how style sheets are queued up to use wp_enqueue_scripts. That’s good, but now my child theme’s style.css will not [...]
I really am limited by my PHP and CSS
As part of purchasing the Elemin theme I get support from Themify and I asked for CSS help on their forum. It’s a good benefit and part of the package. I was able to get two full posts on the home page and leave the rest as excerpts but the CSS was baffling me. I [...]
Christmas Tree Time!
Last year, the Sunday right after Thanksgiving I put up the Christmas tree with just the lights. I had intended to finish it after work but each week night I was too tired to do it. I get home after 7 PM and generally want to eat and relax. So the tree went a week [...]
