Tags

We now have tags , thanks to the work of rusty, hillct and janra. They are a kind of meta-information cloud, similar to what technorati has . So next time an SSR member writes an Article or a Rafferty entry, put some tags in it as well.

You might also recognize tags from that big scoop site, dailykos . I don't have the Blocks/CSS set up to display in technorati style yet, but once we get enough tags for it to be a soup or a cloud, then I will.

A list of tags also appear at the bottom of the story. These have to be entered at the time the Article or Rafferty's is written. There is a tag field under the story body field. Enter in the tags in comma delimited fashion. For instance to add Tags for 'South Sea Republic','Tags' and 'Scoop' type in;

South Sea Republic, Tags, Scoop

In other site news I got the incoming trackbacks working again. That functionality got lost with the sync/upgrade with scoop CVS. Note to hulver, please be checking in the radio button rating and trackback code to the scoop main trunk. At the moment I am maintaining a bastardised half-version of CVS scoop and hulver-scoop.

While I am in site maintenance mode, if anyone else has any gripes, improvements or suggestions - fire away - and I will see what I can do.

cam: Prognosis: Not so good. You will have to show me what is happening.

ranomatic: New plan: I ordered an HTC Apache yesterday. The Apache will replace the Jornada and my phone. The browser in the Jornada is too old to support a lot of sites these days, especially ones with lots of CSS.  Unfortunately, it is not upgradable.

No doubt I will have better, more interesting problems with the new kit.
cam: Nice Phone: Work paying for it? Must admit I have got awfully used to the Blackberry. Mainly for its data capabilities.

ranomatic: Work pays for the service but: I bought the phone.  Not a bad trade-off really.  For next year\'s budget, I need to include some cash for smart wireless devices.  Our field people are using base model Motorolas (with laptops) and the data connection speed is SLOW.

I agree with you - the data capability in the handset takes the cell phone to new levels of usefulness.  I looked at the various Blackberrys and the Treo 650, but I wanted built-in Wi-Fi. I also wanted support from the carrier.  I could find two phones (the Apache and the Samsung SCH-i730, both CDMA oddly enough) that meet my requirements.  There are several more unlocked GSM phones that should work, but they aren\'t supported by any US carriers.

If anyone else is looking at cell phones for use in the US, check out this site .  It is filled with information.

Most Popular Hikes in Arizona

Arizona is an outdoor state and has lots of hiking in the city and around the state. Phoenix is unusual for most cities in having several large mountains in the center of the city with great hiking. Anyone who comes to Phoenix has to do the Echo Canyon trail on Camelback and the Summit Hike on Squaw Peak or Piesta Peak. The views of the city, suburbs and surrounding mountains are wonderful from Camelback and Piesta Peak. For more experienced hikers there is the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale that has several difficult and strenuous hikes in Tom's Thumb and Bell Pass. Alternatively, you can hike the highest mountain in Arizona. At 12,600 feet Humphrey's Peak is a long and difficult hike.

Alternate Australian Constitutions

Between 2004 and 2009 this site, southsearepublic.org, was a constitutional blog based on scoop which focused on Australian and global constitutional issues. One of the strongest aspects of it was the development of constitutions by those involved in the blog. These constitutions are the outcome: The constitutions were built using principles from Montesquieu's separation of powers, the enlightnment's universal political rights and the ancient Athenian technology of sortition and choice by lot.

Who Is Cam Riley

Cam Riley I am an Australian living in the United States as a permanent resident. I am a software developer by trade and mostly work in Java and jump between middleware and front end. I originally worked in the New York area of the United States in telecommunications before moving to Washington DC and working in a mix of telecommunications, energy and ITS. I started my own software company before heading out to Arizona and working with Shutterfly. Since then I have joined a startup in the Phoenix area and am thoroughly enjoying myself.

I do a lot of photography which I post on this website, but also on flickr. I have a photo-journalistic website which lists the modernist and contemporary restaurants in phoenix. I have a site on the Australian Flying Corps [AFC] which has been around since the 1990s and which I unfortunately lost the .org URL to during a life event; however, it is under the www.australianflyingcorps.com URL now. The AFC website has gone through several iterations since the 90s and the two most recent are Australian Flying Corps Archives(2004-2002) and Australian Flying Corps Archives(2002-1999) which are good places to start.
