WordPress

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I know this blog is supposed to be about futurism, but it is doubtful I have any readers right now and I am more focused on how to use WordPress than on content.  Found a decent ebook detailing some of the basics and some advanced features such as plugins, widgets, and how to set up permalink structure.  Followed these instructions on another site I’m working on, www.DiscreteMathHelp.com, and I’m pleased with the results.

Future Quotes

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Still getting the feel for WordPress, so heres another list:

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke

The past is necessarily inferior to the future. That is how we wish it to be. How could we acknowledge any merit in our most dangerous enemy: the past, gloomy prevaricator, execrable tutor?
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there
Charles F. Kettering
