I seem to have widget problems, my categories are still broken, and WPG2 still won't let me add pictures to posts, but one thing at a time. http://www.gdunge.com/2008/08/08/got-back-some-of-my-mojo More fun updating the site. I had to update the Wordpress engine again and this time I lost my categories and my theme doesn't work right. Also Gallery2 images can't be placed in posts any more. I want some sleep so I'm setting the theme to the default and ... http://www.gdunge.com/2008/08/07/site-update-problems Monday my Zilla controller arrived. Yowza! One less excuse for not getting the car running. I spent much of the day happily rearranging the parts I plan to put in a water-resistant box in the rear of the Ghia. I think I have the correct layout now. ... http://www.gdunge.com/2008/08/07/zilla-day I just had the first problem with my Samsung S1050 camera. I noticed that some of the pictures I uploaded had funny dates on them, so I went into the camera to look at the date setup.

I ... http://www.gdunge.com/2008/08/05/internship-2008-final-report The wire attached to my Bare Bonz fuse panel was too short to reach my battery way in the back of the Ghia, so they sent me some more cable and a nice power junction box. Sadly, there's no good place to put the junction box along the route. ... http://www.gdunge.com/2008/07/27/length-does-matter Well, one more. I'm about done with my internship at Spaceport America (I built them some fancy Excel spreadsheets) and there's about a month between now and the start of school. Let's see how far I can get on the electric car in one month. The remaining excuse is that I'm ... http://www.gdunge.com/2008/07/26/no-more-excuses Hi Moms, We love you!
