I have just bought an upgraded version of the plugin at a greatly reduced Black Friday sale price and emailed Jackie the login information. Jackie assured me that this is a one-off purchase. She thanked me for supplying the information and said that she will get this sorted. Watch this space.
Today I submitted my 24th and final fortnightly piece of the year to the paper and I am gratified to report that every one of them featured material from my Animal Builders album. A recent item was about repurposing a habitable space which may or may not have been made by an animal. I had completely forgotten that I had filmed the subject in early 2016, so much so that the three images I selected are the most recent to be added to the album, which only happened at the beginning of this month.
The day after my birthday, I saw the urologist for the six month follow-up after the kidney stone removal. I was a bit apprehensive about the appointment, having endured another unpleasant bladder ultrasound a week ago. No new stones are forming and the urologist doesn’t need to see me again. I shall continue to take my daily anti-gout pill. The news could not have been better.
Jackie advised that the best way forward is for me to buy the gallery plugin so that she can ask the company for help.
The issue boils down to the discrepancy between the admin site text layout and the website text layout. In the admin site, there is a panel for the title and next to it, a panel for the italicised species name. Below them is a panel for the body text. On the website, this translates into all the information being contained in a single panel below the enlarged image. The title and unitalicized species name abut onto the body text without a break.
This morning I photographed a green tree frog resting on my garage door. In January 1999, I filmed one on the door of Unit 3. It was among the first animals I filmed. It had snuck under a cobweb which gave the illusion that the presence of the frog had predated that of the cobweb. The species is native to northern and eastern regions of Australia and to the lowlands of New Guinea. It can grow up to 11.5 cm long.
Jackie stated that the plugin which dates from when the site was created, may no longer be supported. I sent her an email showing how I want the text below the image to look.
At our third attempt, after rescheduling because of the weather and a work-related matter, I handed over the hard drive to Dave. We met at 5 pm, at the entrance to Woollies in Oxenford, just off our nearest access to the motorway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Dave described me as a citizen scientist because of the Tamborine Mountain species data I have amassed. He could have a point, though I never considered myself to be one and the scientific content was provided by experts.
I was disappointed to find no change to the album texts after my return from Longreach.
Having stayed with Kathy overnight on the 9th, I flew to Longreach on the 10th. After more than half an hour of smooth travelling the captain announced that we were returning to Brisbane at the behest of the Qantas engineers, because of a bird strike on take-off. The unknowns were whether we would have to leave the aircraft, whether it would be cleared for onward travel, and if not, when a replacement aircraft was available. On landing, we were told to remain in the cabin. An engineer came onboard immediately. I could see that one of the port engine propeller blades was slightly grazed, which was presumably the site of the strike. The blades were made by Doughty, based in the UK. One of their two global support facilities was located in Brisbane. Long story short, we were cleared for take-off and departed some three hours late. Our arrival in Longreach meant that Simon and Nicole could meet me after work. Pepper barked when we got to the house. She barks at other dogs and people walking by. Once inside I was smothered by licks. Nicole is enjoying her new job with Queensland Health and Simon was on the… Read Complete Text
