Monday, February 10, 2003This is an interesting link: The dwindling heartland: America's new frontier. From Lebanon, Kan., a window into the vanishing heartland. [Christian Science Monitor | Top Stories] The trends described so well here are slowly creeping East as well - the country seat of Boone County, Indiana (I live in Thorntown) is coincidentially named 'Lebanon'. Thorntown still has a grocery and a hardware store, a bank and a diner, but other towns here have fared poorly. In fact, Indiana lost representation in the House after the 2000 census. More of my urban collegues need to be aware of this.

Everyone has ancestors. Lots of them.
You have two parents.
Four grandparents.
Eight great-grandparents.
Sixteen great-great-grandparents.
Sixty five thousand five hundred and thirty six great-great-great- great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- grandparents.
So does every other human being on earth.

Well, I've more or less got the page(s) looking more or less the way I'd like. That's not as trivial as the Radio documentation would make it seem....
I also discovered how to access the desktop weblog locally from all the machines on my LAN - it's in the remote access section of the prefs. I had blithly assumed that this would open up the port thru my firewall - not so, which is good. Of course, if I had been aware of this before I purchased Radio, I would have bought the Mac version, as it would have relieved me of the necessity of keeping another machine up. The Mac has pretty much become my main server engine - I'm really impressed by OS X.
So I think I'll head off and try to post some stuff from my laptop before I doze off. Maybe even set up a category or two ....
