In all the messiness of life’s day-to-day, one tends to forget the majesty that is the universe on a grand scale. Let this stunning time-lapse of the Milky Way over Hawaii remind you of your insignificance.
I’ll be writing more on this is in the future but for now I just want to talk about custom installs of wordpress and a couple problems you may encounter when trying to upload images:
#1 Make sure the folder you have chosen to store your images in is writable. This should be the same for the whole folder. The file attributes on that folder should be 777 and recursed into all subdirectories.
#2 Make sure you’re uploading your files to the right place. This problem happens a lot when sites are being developed and moved to a different server, etc….. You can find where you’re storing your images under Settings > Miscellaneous > “Store uploads in this folder”. Kind of a tricky little spot to find that info.
I started reading this article this morning over coffee and found it fascinating and well written. I couldn’t find a link when I did a quick search but had to share part of it with you. Let me know if you find a link for it less you be a spammer:
“In Silicon Valley the world is divided into two kinds of people - those who “get it”, and those who don’t. The people who get it are the ones who understand that the Internet is the biggest thing that has ever happened in the history of the human race, a wave so huge and so powerful that the only way to cope with it is to jump on and hope to make money building a new world. Those who don’t get it are the ones who try to fight the Internet wave. Entire industries fit that description: movies, music, publishing, real estate, cable-TV providers, operators of mobile-phone networks - the list goes on.
Now, at the top of the list, goes China.
That is the message Google is sending this kerfuffle…..”

Google vs. China
You Can’t Fight the Future, why China is no match for the internet

“Arguably, the best design for intelligence created to date remains the biological brain - and scientists are already looking into whether it will one day play a part in AI.”
I’m curious what this years best iphone apps are? I didn’t have much time today but the thought crossed my mind. With over 100k I’m curious. If you’ve found this post let me know what you think. More to come…..
I often check the results for my name with a google search. I don’t know, it’s just something I do sometimes. I recommend everyone do it as anyone can google your name, it’s nice to know what is returned. I’ve had the number one spot for a while now for “Josh Ranta”. Easy enough, it’s not that popular of a name. My last name has been a little harder to tackle. It’s a popular name in Finland as Ranta means “beach” there. Well, several months ago I noticed after my site had been up for a while I was number 1 for “Josh Ranta” but something like number 35 for “Ranta”. (For those of you who don’t know, by the number, I mean the page number I fall under for the search result.) After working with some SEO I’m now up to page number 17 for “Ranta” and still increasing. Not bad, I’m kinda pleased with that. Keep going!
My friend sent me this video the other day, I haven’t watched it since the professor played it for us the first day of one of my classes. I remember thinking, “How much of those are real, hard facts? How much of that data has changed since that video was made?” My friend thinks it’s a bunch of bullshit. He said, “That video cracked me because it’s a bunch of bullshit. How can you be trained in technology that doesn’t exist? ”
I know there’s a lot of you out there who have seen this video and I wonder, what is your opinion? We had a class discussion about it for the rest of my first day in class. It’s nice to see it again and think again, how much more has this data changed?
