Winter Solstice 2012 – We’re still here
Last Night of the World ? !
Well I had to add this.. Happy Solstice Eve.
[Seems my videos are not playing using the latest Firefox browser..that is a first..must fix..they do work on Chrome.
A note on how I fixed this: “Try turning off hardware acceleration for Flash, that can sometimes resolve issues with Flash videos not playing. Right-click on any Flash video, click “Settings”, select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration” … now they play again!]
New Photo Gallery
I am developing a new, for this blog, photo gallery set up.
It is still a bit clunky, in that I have to do too much cross posting, but I will figure it out eventually.
Here’s the Gallery Index.

Updated WordPress to 3.5
Well finally this blog has a current/new theme that is working – Twenty Twelve and I just upgraded WordPress core to 3.5 and see no problems!
Now I just need to update core in all my other installs of WordPress.. and then I should have some time to start adding photo galleries to this site.
This is all good.
And yesterday I looked at this site on a 7″ tablet to see how responsive Twenty Twelve was and it worked great, although the sidebar images did seem to ‘squish’ a bit. Will have to ask about that. And I looked around the web as well and found out that the simple white background shows up soooo much better on the tablets and phone, that if your audience uses those handhelds, then keep it simple for them.
New Theme Twenty Twelve with some tweaks
I have been working on customizing ever so slightly the default WordPress theme Twenty Twelve, and finally put it on this site.
I will have many more tweaks to do, but all seems to be functioning well at this point.
I wanted to get in in place and test here before the roll out of WordPress 3.5 which is imminent, to make sure if there were problems I could isolate to theme or core functions.
I also intend to start a photo gallery on this site, which will happen slowly as I scan old images and clean them up. I have another site with a photo gallery as well, and that one will become live again just after 3.5 rolls out.
I may be switching back and forth a bit to the older theme, as I figure out a few things.
River and Creek Photos 29 Nov – 2 Dec
Humboldt County was hit with several strong storms last week,
Hazardous Weather Outlook and the Storm Reports.
The best thing about these storms was the amount of rainfall.. rivers went from a trickle you could walk across to this.. almost overnight.
