  • What is something you always talk about, but never do?

    I always talk/blog about how to improve others. Yet, here I am not doing much to improve my life/style. The notion of “change” is often on my mind. And I believe in karma and the fact that I’ve pretty much given up on myself and others.

    What is something you always talk about, but never do? Why is it often on your mind? Why does it never happen?

  • Navigating your blog

    Wow! Last night, I was thinking about updating my customized Menus modeled after a Premium Theme: Shelf to show: Aside, Gallery, Image and Quote. But this theme and like most WordPress.com themes (including WordPress.org) do NOT seem to include my favorite time stamp in a readable text version. Their version is a hover/mouse over “title” attribute to the date/time stamps.

    So last night, I’ve set my primary weblog to “Privacy” many times. I was “retagging” old posts as “Asides” for entries done via my cellphones. I could tell because the “Excerpt” view during the “BULK EDIT” does NOT have prompts for “Continue reading—>” and the “word count” is around 140 characters with spaces.

    Further, I made use of the new “Post format” via “BULK EDIT” and (again) “retagged” old blogs to reflect “Gallery” for more than one “Images”. I did general searches of my post with “wpid” attachments, including files for “.jpg”, “.png“, “.jpeg“, “.pdf”, and “.gif“.

    “Audio” files of just “.wav” and “.mp3” were also “retagged”. As for the “Video”, that didn’t work.

  • When do the ends justify the means?

    First, I do NOT understand what is this English phrase “the ends justify the means”.

    Second, it is the means that justifies the ends, not the other way around! After all, the ends cannot be reasonably predicted and the course of the means depends on many choices/factors.

    Think along the here and now and whatever outcome/s may/may not manifest.

  • Blogging for the long haul…

    I am most produtive at night when all the house chores and other activities have been completed. I can realistically write very few thoughts nowadays. My notes via the “Memo” apps of my cellphone help to remind me of mundane events but the inspiration to blog about anything worthwhile has lost its spark, magic, enthusiasm — almost like going through a mid-life crisis.

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/blogging-for-the-long-haul/

    Ask yourself, when am I most productive? And how much can I realistically write? Get a blogging buddykeep a notebook with you and jot down ideas, phrases, story lines the old school waydon’t force it.

  • Have you ever protested for anything?

    Nope. Nothing. Throughout eons, many fought, many died. Fast forward to the current era, nothing has changed — more war, more deaths. The end.

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/have-you-ever-protested/

    Have you ever protested for anything? What was the cause? If you haven’t, what would it take for you to go stand up and protest for (or against) something?

  • What would you do with a year if your goal was to become wise?

    I’d travel around the world and go to that far off place where they have those pieces of wooden records read by old people to the traveler. It is said that the readers are waiting each arrival and are meant specifically for that individual. Neat. Then based on the broken English and interpretation, I’d like to become wise.

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/what-would-you-do-with-a-year-to-be-wise/

    If you had the resources to spend a year doing whatever you’d like, and you chose the goal of becoming wise, what would you do with the year?

  • 20111031-Tweaking Again

    I’m addicted to blogging! I now have FOUR (4) registered WordPress.com weblog sites! I realize most of my material are RANTS, which is 89% (or a total of 9134 before exporting/importing the other 11% to the other two new sites)!

    So I’ll have to review my mind-set and figure out the direction of my path, love and/or life. So far, I see another four more years of “hidden help”. Hehehe!

    One blog is for “My Daily Posts” from Plinky.com and dailyposts.wordpress.com.

    One blog is for my “dreams, poems, prayers and more”.

    The other blog is dead and has to do with “gifting and healing the environment”.

    This primary blog, once again, is mixed up — politics, relationships, religion, conspiracy and paranormal! I’m having a difficult time trying to categorized each blog entry. I realize that the overlapping of thoughts, topics, and issues is not good for blogging.

    Oh! And I was trying to tweak my blog via the Full Site and I noticed that the right Scrollbar to the Categories section via the “post.php” edit page doesn’t work!!! So I had to sneak back upstairs and leave Maw for a bit with the trick or treaters. But I can hear if there are people/noises, thanks to my EXPENSIVE 32-channel hearing aide!

  • 20111030-Tweaking Again

    I just set the Site Visiblity to my other WordPress.com weblog site to from “I would like my site to be private, visible only to users I choose” to “Allow search engines to index this site.”

    So that means Google and pals would know my identity (partially) because that site is still anonymous, except for the few who commented long ago.

    You may do your own research to figure out where my old Plinky Prompts and Daily Posts are now located. Good luck!

    Going forward, I will no longer be sharing Plinky answers and postaday2011 here. Hopefully, the import of all posts and its comments are still intact in the new blog site.

    Oh! And my thanks goes out to John Jr (again). I borrowed/stole his slideshow idea on his “About Me” page and therefore uploaded three illustrations of moi: Donut Chic, Mad Man and Smirk Gal.

  • 20111026-Tweaking Again

    I’ve tweaked and I’ve tweaked and I’ve tweaked so more pages from my “Living with Orgone” site. There are 14 published pages and two private posts. There are no sidebars on this site.

    There is definitely something wrong with the Blog Stats: It keeps recording my OWN activities! And there was delay to show 119 views in one day! That was from editing my pages several times! I give up! Something is not right with WordPress.com.

    The “Links” page of that orgone site has five of the six links, which can be found in the sidebar widget as “blogroll”, instead of my other Categories, such as “pals” or “links”. It doesn’t make sense to make a long list.

    As for my main blog site, the sidebar element almost lines up with the content element (or front/home page). Again, I must strive for keeping my site and entries, short and simple, spic and span, clean and cleaner. Whatever.

  • Publishing site again…

    Well, I will re-publish my other registered WordPress.com weblog site at midnight because the Blog Stats is ruined!

    For whatever reason, each time I clicked on my OWN pages while signed on my account as administrator, the page view is counted and that’s not right! I wonder if the Support will fix this bug!

    My OWN activities appear “live” since last month even though that site has remained on “PRIVATE” mode. I feel blogging has lost meaning because of all these hard coding changes.

    The contents will be the old stuff of mostly pages instead of daily post entries, which can be found here in my primary weblog site.

    Okay. I changed my mind about the Privacy Settings. I will go ahead and change the Site Visibility from ” I would like my site to be private, visible only to users I choose” to “Allow search engines to index this site.”

    It’s Living with Orgone.

  • After the Deadline message…

    A few minutes ago, I was trying to update a “Private” page on my other registered WordPress.com weblog. And I saw the following message pop-up:

    “There was a problem communicating with the After the Deadline service. Try again in one minute.”


    A black exclamation mark is within a white background and enclosed by a triangle with red perimeter.

  • Have you ever had to fire someone?

    Nope. I would imagine it would be easier to let someone go when there is justified reason, such as budget crisis. It would be harder to fire someone based on insubordination (which is intentional prejudice, trust me on this one) and merit. I think I would build up the files/documentations, discuss the matter with the superiors with BROKEN English, seek advice from a married sucker, err, gullible mentor who speaks good English and use his knowledge to climb the ladder of success as a manager in a information technology job off First Street and have human resources fire that person.

    Have you ever had to fire someone? Was it easier or harder than you expected? If you never have, how do you think you’d handle it?
