An Update from the Webmaster

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

This is Kyle, here! As you may have read, there were a few issues with this site after the owner (hi grandpa!) upgraded his PC to the latest software. This revealed a small problem with WordPress (the software that makes this web site work). The only way to fix it: upgrade to the latest version. As with most system upgrades, there have been a few bumps.

The most obvious one for the readers is the unusual absence of the majority of the photographs on this web page. The reason for this is that they were attached in an unusual way that did not follow this software’s standard operation, but which was (and still is, technically) entirely acceptable for the old version. The photos are still on the web server, but have been stripped from the posts by the upgrade process. They were attached by a now-unsupported add-on to this software. I have installed the newest version of this add-on, but have had no luck in resorting the photos to their posts.

It should be possible to re-attached the photos from the on-site manager, but I won’t bore the readers of this site with the technical details thereof. Just know that the photos will be available for viewing by some means as soon as it can be arranged.

For now, I have to go update the support ticket for this issue with this unfortunate news, and then go to bed. It has been a very long day, and as much as I would like to get this fixed right now, I’m about to fall asleep at my computer.

Night!

Around Veterans Day this year, I got a request from Keith Taylor, Marie’s nephew, for pictures of Marie’s  Dad and brother Paul. Keith wanted his Dad and Grandpa picture’s to show them on the air. He is a morning lead Newsman on channel 8 here in Tulsa. Marie and her sister Evelyn found other pictures of their relatives which we send to Keith. I will show all of them here.

Added will be some  pictures of the Loveless side of the family.

October 2009

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Not a lot of goings on this month, at least from a blog and picture approach. The big problem was my computer going down. It couldn’t print or write disks and many times would not run at all. After a couple of trips to the shop, the problem was found in the mother board. The cost to repair was really to high, so a new computer was needed, after a back-up of all the data I could get backed up. This required about 100 CD’s as the operating system I was using would not allow me to write to DVD.

Being reasonably intelligent, I thought abetter way was to get the computer company I as going to get a new computer from should transfer the data for me. They agreed. Six days they had both the old and new computers, and could only transfer 2 GB from the old to the new computer. Reason – Best Buy had forgot to initialize the drive in the new computer. Grandson Kyle Johnson came back from Stillwater and 6 hours and 15 minutes later, most of the data, 136 SB, was transfered. I still have some early pictures fro 2002 to 2007 that will eventually be added to the new system.  

The step up from the old computer to the new computer was from XP to Vista. What a mess. Then Best Buy was to upgrade the new computer to Window7, a freebee.  When getting the new computer home, it would not open at all. Back to Best Buy and no luck at all. Then to the “AKTECK” computer shop who found the problem in the virus software that came with the new computer.

I was when able to start reloading software I would need. This was really a task I didn’t really like because it had to deal with the new Windows7 system and almost none of it worked without new down-loads. In some cases I had to repurchase some software as the company had no record of my purchases of down-loadable software. I’ve now learned not to get anymore down-loadable software, they now have to ship it to me.

Anyway this all took the most part of October and the first half of November to get to where I am. I still have computers to move but hopefully most of the work is done. I’m still trying to get the BLOG up to date, and that will take a few more days. A lot of the items will continue to show IN WORK until that’s accomplished.

By the way, the BLOG’s speller isn’t working, for one reason or another. I’m waiting for a fix now.

September 11, 2009 – Marie’s and Bud’s 50th Wedding Anniversary

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Marie and I decided we didn’t want a lot of the goings on that happen when couples reach this milestone but settled for a celebration at the house here in Tulsa. We really got much more than we had anticipated. The kids had asked those on the Internet that we communicate with to send us cards. We ended up with a number of nice gifts and around 80 cards. We are really greatful to all those who sent gifts as well as cards.
