  • Winter Running

    Trail Running at the Cumberland Monastery
    Trail Running at the Cumberland Monastery
    This is my first winter running outside, it’s still early in the season but I’m hoping to keep this up.

    Runner’s World Magazine has a great series, Newbie Chronicles which is great source of motivating articles for folks starting out. Here’s the one that motivated me to purchase some light winter running gear and hit the trial: Foul-Weather Friend

    Temperatures today were in the mid 30s and ice in spots, which began melting during my second lap around the grounds. The outdoors are really motivating.

    The big obstacle for me right now is my diet, I need to do a better job. My diet is holding me back from better runs.

  • SMPTE Presentation & WCVB Tour

    On December 14th I attended the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers)
    New England Section chapter meeting. The presentation was titled “THE LATEST IN HIGH DEFINITIONTELEVISION MOBILE UNIT DESIGN”. Two local companies made presentations, Little Bay Communications and Thistle Communications.

    Below are photos from the event, mostly from the WCVB Station tour which followed the SMPTE meeting.

  • WordPress 3.5 Add Media Button Not Working – Here’s the Fix!

    Code needed to fix the WordPress Add Media Button
    Screen shot of code needed to fix the WordPress Add Media Button
    We’ll I spent an hour reading forums and searching the internet for answers on this one.  Here’s the solution that worked for me:

    Essentially you need to add one line of code to your “wp-config.php” file, which is located in the root of your WordPress Install.

    Add this line of code:
    define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );

    I placed the line of code just below this string:
    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

    Hope this helps!

  • WordPress 3.5 and the Twenty twelve Theme

    Just upgrade the site to WordPress 3.5 “Elvin” and switched to the new Twenty twelve theme. I’m always impressed by the WordPress upgrade process. Quick, simple and reliable! Makes the whole WordPress experience, I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem upgrading.

    By comparison, a few years ago I ran a Drupal based website ( I know it’s not a direct comparison), it often took days to complete an upgrade.

    Anyway, looking forward to exploring WordPress 3.5 updates and the new media manager.

    • I've decided that @Flickr is still the best, most cost effective photo sharing and archiving site out there. Hope @Yahoo doesn't destroy it. #
    • Window open, enjoying the cool, crisp air. Almost time for a run #
