Today I turned my attention to making the front page of the domain look just a little bit better. Being a lazy sort of person I had of course done plenty of research in the past to easy web site maintenance on OSX; today I dusted off my license key and installed RapidWeaver. Nice piece of software, but I guess it runs into some pretty stiff competition from Apple’s homegrown solutions for those of us who just want to do things quickly, cheaply and basically. So although I used RapidWeaver I’m not really sure that it is much better for me than iWeb.
I have been receiving continuous messages that my version of WordPress needs to be updated. This is a task that I hadn’t really been looking forward to undertaking as it could well have turned out into an all night nightmare. Well that is at least what normally happens to me when I think to myself ”I’ll just do this quickly”.
Lucky old me, for a change everything has gone just perfectly.
Now that gets me feeling somewhat worried.
I spend a great deal of time reading information about global warming, climate change, animal welfare etc. I consider myself to be concerned about what we are humans are doing to the planet and I’m interested in seeing how I can usefully contribute to stopping/slowing down or resolving things as much as possible.
I’m always thinking about what can others do to help, why is there not more legislation to help, why don’t bug businesses seem to really want to step in to help? I seemed to forget in all of this about me; what can I do to help? What are the things in my life that I do automatically, that probably don’t need doing, that in some way waste our resources. I’m going to have a think about this much more clearly in the near future, but what ever happens the aim will be to ensure that what ever I think of allows me to pursue what I think of as a normal life, and not be to radical a change to my life style.
I hope I can make progress on this. Be prepared for me to share my thoughts.
