Glanced over the sight, looks interesting. I will have to look more thorough tonight. What state are you located in Jay? Local?

I use the ENO One Link system…includes a doublenest hammock, pro straps, guardian bug net, and pro rain fly. I really like their hammock system because it is component based, this way I don’t have use the whole set up if the weather does not require me to. I actually got their underquilt last month: the ENO Ember and it has been awesome for camping this winter. if you havent checked out their products you should… http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com

Yes, that is true, I will be able to release the album. I am not sure how long it will take though. I had some input that I wasn’t expecting, which would require re-evaluating some of the songs structures. I think I may post the individual songs somewhere to get multiple-input/feedback and see where it goes from there.

Heath, that’s fantastic! I’m so happy for you. I’m assuming this means you will be able to release your album after all?

Comment on Using WordPress with Rapidweaver by Heath

@Danny
Setting up a wordpress (WP) blog in a rapidweaver (RW) site is a very frustrating experience. The reason many people use RW is the easy of use, same with WP, but integration of the two… I am still working on it.

I started with “the loop”, as mentioned in the post, however, my php code skills were weaker than my design requirements… so I chose to use a “Offsite page” plugin in RW to take clients to my blog and a “Page-Links-to” WP plugin for a return trip. I want to integrate WP into my RW site in a way that doesn’t look hokey. It tried using the WP loop myself and coding it in, but it just didn’t look professional. I then tried to use the WP-Blog RW plugin by Nilrog, however It will not work in my situation, but it may in yours. You my want to try it out.

One thing you will not get around, at least last time I checked, is that the blog posts on your site are going to take clients to your actual WP blog if they click a permalink or want to comment, etc. Not an issue to some, but if you are trying to keep them on your site it defeats the purpose. It is not uncommon to have your blog as a separate site, and linked just as you would your twitter, facebook, or linkedin pages.

As far as blogging remotely… That one is a cinch. You have your client register with your WP blog. You then go into USERS>AUTHORS USERS and change them from a subscriber to one of the other “ROLES” (You should read up on roles here).

I hope this helps

P.S. now that you brought this up, I am going to take another look into using the WP “loop” to my advantage some how.

HI HEATH,

thanks for this info above.

I am trying to set up a wordpress blog for my website listed above, instead of the standard Rapidweaver blog. I also want my client to be able to blog remotely from her office location into wordpress.

Do you have any recommendations or suggestions. I am not too tech-savvy but i can learn quickly.

Thanks for your earliest reply,

Danny

I set it to 64. I have had no latency problems there. I have had latency problems using Space Designer. I chose not to use it.

One feature you may want to turn on, if it isn’t already, is the track latency monitor. This stamps the amount of latency at the bottom of every channel strip. It is a very useful feature when trying to figure out latency issues. The system basically uses pings to determine the latency time and reports that time.

Hi Health
Found you surfing today on a research on latency regarding mainstage. I am a worship pastor in Canada and founder of
http://www.guitarchurch.com. How do you set the buffer value
on a mac to minimize the latency?
With thanks

OK guys, sorry about the errors. When you commented I opened the file and it was correct. So I didn’t bother fixing it. I actually found it was the wrong file. The image has now been relinked to reflect the correct Key structures.

Heath, in the key of D, the 7th should be C#, a half-step below the D.

Great explanation. Now I just have to wrap my head around actually using it. I can tell it’s going to be a timesaver though.

Thanks!

Your chart has an error: the 7th note of the G major scale is F#, not F.

Comment on Screencast | Convert Between Google Earth and National Geographic Topo and GPS by Michael

2009-10-05T19:51:15Z

Thanks for sharing. I thought I had figured out how to do this before watching the video. But I couldn’t get it to work. I watched the video and I was pretty much doing it right, except that I didn’t start by creating the .kml file in Google Earth. I had created the KML file using http://www.mapmyride.com. The problem was that I was trying to translate the whole .kml file to .gpx. I went into Google Earth and found just the “Route” portion of the .kml file from mapmyride, and saved that as a new .kml file. That one translated to .gpx flawlessly, allowing me to import it to into TOPO! Your video was helpful in showing me that indeed to procedure that I assumed would work, would indeed work once I started with the simpler .kml file.

I do use the windows version of TOPO!, and I find it to work just fine. Although just from your video I can see that the shaded relief is much richer and deeper in the Mac version. I’m not sure what you are doing where you have the tracks imported as waypoints only. Perhaps I’ve never tried what you are doing. I have tethered my laptop to my GPS and used TOPO! to track where I was going. I don’t do it regularly, but it definitely showed me a track, not a series of waypoints. TOPO! does default to waypoints when importing tracks, but so far, I’ve always been able to find a checkbox to have it show a “freehand route” instead.

Interesting coincidence: Out of all the possible places in the world (or even in the US), The track I was trying to convert is less than 14 miles (at it’s closest point) from the track you created in the video.

Thank you. Finding a good resource on WordPress & Rapidweaver is difficult.

very good point. possibly Microsoft is a big, cooperate, greedy conglomerate… seeking to suck the blood out of the entire world; possibly even mother earth.
… and Apple software is (I would estimate) at least 89-93.4 % more reliable (I spend the last 10 years of my life supporting windows based networks… doh! no more, no more!)

It is fun! I would have to say that the main attraction is the food. There are some really great things to eat.

These are really fun images! I heard about the Scandinavian Festival a day too late and didn’t get to check it out. It’s nice to get a little glimpse into what it was like. Looks fun! I really like your site and pictures!
