WordPress-projektoj

- 11 months ago - 6 comments

Mi scias ke tio ĉi estas arkivo, sed mi bezonas publikigi informon, ke https://eo.wordpress.org/ ekzistas. WordPress estas sistemo uzita por administri MEMSTARAJN retejojn, aparte retejojn por plurpersona kunlaborado. La pakaĵo estas senpage elŝutebla ĉe WordPress.org . Se via retumilo estas agordita havi Esperanton kiel la unuarangan lingvon, ĉe tiu retejo vi vidos avizon ke WordPress estas havebla en Esperanto. Se ne, iru rekte al la oficiala retejo de la enesperantigita WordPres…

My year past

- August 16, 2014 - 3 comments

This post is just for me. My years run from August to August; my birthday month. I want to muse on my year past, using famous poems to note my thoughts about other people & myself. How can journalists rage, rage against the dying of the light when the night becomes insulted and threatens to sue? Let me come to be still in your silence And let me talk to you with your silence That is bright as a lamp Simple, as surveillance. ....It is as though we are absent. But a caged bird stands…

Resumo de UDK

- August 12, 2014 - 4 comments

Ĝisdatigo en la 12a de aŭgusto 2014 : Mi intencis kompili angla-esperantan laŭteman vortaron, kune kun sro. Wang, sed li suferis infarkton de la cerbo. Do, ni ne faros tion. La kalkultabelon de UDK mi intencis eksporti kiel liston. Tiel simple eblas krei angla-esperantan laŭteman liston por uzo en vortaro. Mi havis permeson senpage ricevi plian vortstokon de UDK kaj permeson uzi UDK kiel fontmaterialon por la vortaro. Pri iu alia uzo de UDK, estas neniu intereso en la esperantlingva kom…

Immortals moan bewildered at Time's door. Above, cracks cool across the mortal sky; below, gods stammer as all planets die. Je pordo de la tempo senmortuloj surpriziĝas. Pli supre, io splitas la ĉielon mortan. Balbutas sube dioj pri la agonioj.

The vehicle as a human right

- August 4, 2014 - 2 comments

Do I believe that internet access is a human right? Not directly. The right to freedom of expression is in international human rights law and includes the right to receive information regardless of frontiers. But that right doesn't mean that newspapers are a human right. It doesn't mean that other people (by way of government) are obligated to pay for subscriptions to newspapers for any other person. That right means that no person should be blocked from receiving his/her chosen newspaper subs…

Malapero de esperantaj eroj

- June 3, 2014 - 3 comments

Mi diris al mi (pro aliaj kialoj), ke mi jam ne okupiĝos pri esperantaj temoj, sed mi daŭre kontribuas al la esperantlingva traduko de ipernity -- kaj, lastatempe, ipernity intensigas la penojn akiri profiton. Unu instigilo turni uzantojn al la paga konto estas limigi la elmontradon de fotoj de ĉiuj, kiuj havas senpagan konton. Por tiuj senpagaj uzantoj, nur la lastaj 200 fotoj estas ekspoziciitaj. La aliaj fotoj estas maskitaj, ĝis la decido pagi ($8.95 / 3 monatoj). Por ke multaj fotoj kaj…

The Girl with a Metal Earring

- May 30, 2014

In The Girl with a Pearl Earring , does that earring look like a pearl to you? And the way she's ducking her head forward is very cute, but I painted her sitting upright: I made a huge mistake and decided to oil paint on watercolor paper. See, I thought spraying the paper with fixative would seal it. I was wrong. I could only move the paint around for a minute. The oil was slurped into the paper, I suppose! Or into the surface sizing? Here's the shadows that stuck in place almo…

The making of a still life like Emilie Preyer

- May 22, 2014 - 5 comments

I'm in the middle of painting a still life, based on the works of Emilie Preyer: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Emilie_Preyer I started by using a graphite pencil to sketch in the fruit: As you can see, I repositioned everything 5 gazillion times. Afterward, I used water-mixable oil paints, mixed with water, to give a brownish wash indicating shadows. Also, I applied the wash to the wall: The next day, I appl…

My Gallery of drawings

- March 25, 2014 - 3 comments

I'm starting a gallery of my drawings & paintings: cindymckee.com/artworks I'm still trying to improve, so I'll be stocking it with better works as time goes by. My latest drawing is of Pa Tik He Ke Heci, a Nez Perce man. That's graphite pencil on watercolor paper. I used mainly 2b pencil, the kind we write with.

Electric Nazis

- September 25, 2013 - 9 comments

I mentioned to someone the other day how burning coal to produce electricity kills thousands and thousands of people every year. There are cleaner alternatives, but they're not as cheap or as easy to implement, right? Also, WE_DON'T_COMPLAIN. We enjoy the electricity and apparently consider the deaths a small price to pay. This isn't the olden days when, if you didn't burn wood or coal, you froze to death. In this day and age of new discoveries, those deaths are clearly avoidable. I was th…

Assumptions in science

- August 16, 2013 - 2 comments

Apparently, a study showed vigorous electrical activity in the brains of rats, after the stopping of the heart. The researcher(s) took that as a sign that all those tales of near-death experiences are probably produced by that burst of brain activity. Why not the inverse? A sign that the brain was reacting to the stimulus of a near-death experience? If it is the brain reacting to the death experience, then rats pass through it, too, not just humans. Son, don't mourn Granny's passing. Sh…

Suits my mood

- August 12, 2013 - 6 comments

I'm not sure what day it is; I just had either a 4- or 5-day migraine. 4? But I'm no longer puking my guts out, and I'm looking for inspiring photos. I want to draw! I found an owl who speaks to me. And then I started listening to the song Barton Hollow . The combination is majestically villainous. I'm embracing my beastly side. Photo by Barbara J. Fleming.

Usona registaro ŝatas vian uzon de fermitaĵo

- August 1, 2013 - 1 comment

ĉar ĝi estas fermita al vi, ne al la usona registaro. Mikrosofta Vindozo estas, je granda proporcio, la plej populara operaciumo por komputiloj. Laŭ artikolo en 'The Guardian', dosieroj malkaŝitaj de Snowden diras ke: Mikrosofto donas alirrajton al NSA al ĉifritaj retmesaĝoj en Hotmail, Live.com kaj Outlook.com kaj ankaŭ al tujmesaĝoj (chat/babiloj). Mikrosofto donas al NSA facilan eniron al la mikrosofta 'nuba' servo SkyDrive, kiu havas 250 milionojn da uzantoj tutmondaj. Mikrosofto…

Please fingerprint your friends

- July 13, 2013 - 4 comments

[en] Are you still tagging the faces of your friends in Facebook? In the words of U.S. Senator Al Franken, " Facebook may have created the world's largest privately held database of face prints without the explicit knowledge of its users. "* Facebook uses facial recognition software to identify the faces of people in photographs. That software has become so sophisticated that faceprints are now considered about as accurate at uniquely identifying people as fingerprints.** Would you fingerpr…
