Priceless Paintings from W7

Unless you are seriously visually impaired, you’ll have noticed that things changed around here. This is because this blog has moved home since you’ve last been here. It is no longer hosted by Typepad, but now resides on my own system (thanks to WordPress and Dreamhost) – saved one of two annual bills. Nothing else wrong with Typepad, it’s just an unnecessary expense. I wanted to switch for some while, but only now have I finally figured out how best to do this.

It’s nothing for the faint-hearted (let alone for the not technically aware), but once I understand the ramifications, it is actually fairly straight-forward.

So, errr…. during the transition period, you might get a few glitches if you access through http://www.gauweiler.net. The simple workaround is to go to http://blog.gauweiler.net instead, if you have difficulties.

I also went through great lengths to preserve comments and links to images or other, previously posted, articles. Some are broken (ignore or report, as you wish), but most should actually work.

People who have commented before may have to go through a one-off approval step (I think). Let me know if anything doesn’t work.

There’s a bit of work left to do, and I beg your patience. For example, the arts gallery isn’t here yet, but you You can always view my paintings at http://fotos.gauweiler.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=280, so that’s a start http://gallery.gauweiler.net/index.php?album=paintings.

Enjoy, and continue coming back!

Thoughts, Web/Tech

Did you know that the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts observes the feast of the biblical Saints Andronicus and Junia, Apostles, on a trial basis on May 17 each year?

I received word of this from the initiator, a self-declared enthusiast about Saints Junia and Andronicus.

What can I say?

The world is a mighty big place, and has room for all kinds. I think this is a good thing, but surely there’s space for logic, too? How can anyone worship a saint on a trial basis? If he or she fails to do even the smallest little miracle, then we’ll show ‘em and look out for a better saint? Is that it?

Actually, not a bad idea at all. Do they also believe in God on a trial basis?

Ha! Religion. Always a wonderful blogging subject
