Who Let Tatum On the Computer?

Okay.. so it was me who let Tatum on the computer. But still! She’s gone crazy with a new blog. I thought she might want to journal her adventures through the world, and talk about all the fun things we are doing. Click on the chicklet to check her out:

So if you want to check it out let me know. She wanted me to pick a template, and oh my goodness it was hard. I think she likes the one that is up now. The one I really liked didn’t support widgets and I wasn’t able to figure out how to get it to work so she picked one she liked better anyway.

Got a Cliq?

Well I just signed up for CliqIn. And, fun of fun, I started a Cliq, too, because there was none for dog sports. It is a private Cliq and it is designed to share blogs with a similar topic (dog sports, go figure

) So I hope those who find this Cliq will come and join, and we can network together through CliqIn.

I like finding other fun dog sports sites and for some reason I seem to have much luck really finding them! So hopefully you’ll spread the word.

Removing Google

I always liked google. Really.. liked their search engine, liked their AdSense, liked their whole idea and they were just fun.

Well, I no longer like Google. I’m posting this to get the word out, and to express my frustration. Google had decided to change their Page Rank, and it seems all blogs that sell link ads on their blogs now get a big whopping Page Rank of 0.

So I’m no longer using the Google Search Engine, and I’ve removed all Google ads from my sites. Sorry Google, if you are going to screw bloggers, then bloggers are going to screw you. Now Page Rank is, actually, totally meaningless. Instead of it being a semi-decent measure of the popularity of a web site or blog, now it only states what Google likes and dislikes.

There is a new ad banner on the top of this site. I hope it will interest you with some of the things it shows!

Commenting is Fudged

Ugh. For some reason when you comment here, it will tell you you already commented. It’s doing it to me, too. So I was going back and hitting comment again, but then it’d double comment.

I’m going to have to look at what is going on. I swear I haven’t changed the layout recently at all. So I apologize in advance. If you get the message that you already said that, just ignore it because your comment most likely did take.

Lucy’s Swollen

Crap. The side of Lucy’s face is swollen. I took this picture at 5:38 PM. Two hours before that she was fine. It just ballooned all of a sudden. We were thinking abscessed tooth, but now I wonder if she was stung by something. It’s 9:13 pm now, just got back from flyball practice, and she is twice as big.

I called the stand-in vet and talked to a vet tech about 5:30pm, and they said she should be fine until tomorrow when we can go to our regular vet. Ugh. I worry about her. I hate when our dogs don’t feel, or look, well. So I will be worried all night until we can get her into the vet tomorrow. I’ll call at 8am sharp to get her in.

Pfft.

Media for the CamCorder

As ya’ll probably know, I bought a camcorder a couple of months ago to video the dogs in agility, flyball, practice, etc. And I got this sweet new laptop, too. So I can burn the videos onto DVD and pass them out to my friends. Well, this laptop has a LightScribe disk, so I can also burn labels onto the disks, it’s very cool. I need to find a good place to buy the LightScribe disks and cd storage at a a good price for my camcorder!

I think the Super Media Store might be it. They sell LightScribe disks, too. Now I have to figure out why my minidisks, which are DVD-R, won’t do a straight copy to the LightScribe disks, which are DVD+R. Anyone know why that might be?

Dog Photos

I am a techie nut anymore, but mostly my gadgets support my dog hobbies. I have a camcorder and a digital camera, and the new laptop to run them all on. My camcorder is a Sony Handycam DVD recorder, and my still digital camera is an HP Photosmart. The laptop is also a HP, I guess I like them. Anyway I looked into Nikon digital cameras when I was looking at cameras, too. There is a great deal of information on the web about cameras, sometimes too much information. But I like to research before I buy.

What sorts of digital cameras do you use for your dogs? Or do you still use film cameras?

New Laptop

Well I couldn’t wait, I had to buy a new laptop… so I have it and I’m setting it up. Though of course I forget all the little things I need to reinstall to get it back where I want it. It has Vista, which I like so far. We’ll see how it goes.

We did get Jessi the foster dog on Monday. She is a doll and we love her already. She needs some confidence building and to gain wait. I’ll get more pictures and a video of her when I get more time, which hopefully will be tomorrow evening. And then I can start replying to comments again!

I need a calendar for Vista… that will display as a gadget. I wonder what I should use…
