Click for pics I recently adopted a new kitten from the shelter to keep my 1 1/2 year old cat, Sentry, company. However, I think the warm up period between Sentry and the new kitty may take a week or so. Also, when the shelter cleaned the kitten’s ears, they irritated a nerve in the inner ear that controls balance so the kitten is all clumsy and walks around like she’s stone drunk. I hope to figure out a name in the next week or so once I get a feel for her personality. She’s a cutie!!!
UPDATE: The little one now has a name…Meekah. It is African and means brave or strong-willed.
NEW VERSION RELEASED!!! VERSION 2.0 NOW OUT.
Go out and grab this new version, it should fix most to all of these problems. Thanks!

After receiving a bunch emails about how to modify the Header Image Rotator plugin to work with Wordpress themes, I decided to write this brief tutorial.
Problem description:”The plugin does not work with my Wordpress theme even though I have everything else set up correctly and am receiving green check marks in the plugin admin panel. I can only see the default image that comes with my theme.”
What is happening: The plugin uses a Javascript function to insert CSS information into the head of your blog. At the time of this writing there are well over 1,000 custom WP themes, and each theme has a unique CSS style structure. In my plugin, I tried to use the most common CSS ID for the header image as it would have been impossible to cover them all. The Header Image Rotator plugin uses the CSS ID #header. However, if your theme uses a different CSS ID for the header styling such as #header-image, the plugin will not work. This tutorial will show you how to remedy this issue.

Just for the hell of it (and because I feel a little proud of my creation), I decided to publish my Java project source code. I’m sure no one will really care or even understand, but, oh well. The main program utilizes a bunch of other classes I wrote that will go to a NOAA weather website, extract weather data from a certain web page and parse it, then save it to a text file. Further, the form will load a combo box based on that text file and populate a SQL database by reading the text file, extracting the airport names, going to an XML feed, reading the XML data, parsing the XML data, then displaying it on the form according to different altitudes (selectable by radio buttons). Maybe once I figure out how to program Java servlets I’ll publish a working version. Enjoy!
Main program: A19015
The database class: DBUpdt15
The database template: DBUpdt
The class to connect to the weather website and get the data: Inet
The class to parse the data into human readable form: NSWFB06
The form itself: WeatherForm15
The class to read XML feeds: XMLRead
