WWW traditionally “stands for” World Wide Web, although if you are reading this, then you know it also means “What Wheat Wrote”.

Over these past 30+ years (Are you old enough to remember when there was no Web & we communicated by text only in “news groups” )

And, over those years, it amuzing to me how many of my rather strongly held opinions and ideas can be used with a bit of tweaking. With that in mind, I have begun the process of dusting off old posts, fixing my notorious typos, and in some cases, “bringing it up to date”

I hope you will find some of these useful. They have been to me and mine over the years.

with thanks to Shoshana for posting this link to Quilt Art:

Wouldn’t it be great if CALL Blocking could be used to keep you from doing something stupid.
Like calling someone on the West Coast – when you want a favor – at 6am because you get up at 5am EAST Coast time, so 8am feels like noon – so it must be okay to call =

I wish it was 30+ years ago, when we were all involved in developing custom calling services from Voice Mail to Call Blocking and had thought about a service where if you could program your phone to act like your computer before your delete something

So any time you dial outside your time zone you get a message like;

“The party you are calling is located in a different time zone, the local time is:
day, date, time – Press 1 to continue

Earlier today this wonderful fiber artist posted a message to an Art Quilt group asking if it was Okay to make stockings for her nephew and grandson in Blue & Orange & Black

Never mind the thoughts of NYS Trooper cars of years past – A high school I’d rather forget and even for a brief moment some snarky references to halloween,

Oh My GOODNESS,

It looked so simple, just follow the instructions (well I thought I did) and whatever new bell or whistle included would appear.

INCLUDE being the operative word here. There I was, all happily upgraded (ignorance can be bliss) being inordinately proud of myself for having done this without assistance.

Everything is great until I hit SAVE – poof, up comes

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: maybe_serialize() in /home/evilscie/public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 937

No maybe about it, serializing not happening.

Normally this would have been a tiny problem, TH is out of town and up to his ears in meetings. Don’t want to bother him but, after several days of not quite finding the info I need – I confessed, gave my usual, I am sorry, I really should have told you further.

And of course, since I had posted a message AFTER the upgrade, managed to completely forget it was part of the scenario.

Well, at least THIS TIME, I did back up everything, so while I couldn’t get a post to publish, at least I did not lose everything … like the last time.

Fortunately TH is quite good at seeing through the magic smoke of software, and found the following link.
