As I tried to update the photo site with RapidWeaver, I noticed that RW wouldn’t ftp my changed site up. As it ends up, there’s some kind of problem with RW on Leopard. However, the good folks at RealMac Software have posted a beta version of RW that seems to correct that. Chalk one up for the good guys.

However, I’ve noticed something new with Safari 3. Both the photo site and this humble blog are not loading completely with Safari 3 under Leopard. It appears that the problem is with images being sent down the line, and it might even be specific images. I don’t know if the problem is with those particular images served from my server, or the images themselves. Firefox has no problems, and Safari 2 under Tiger has no problems rendering the pages. I’ll have to keep an eye on this one, as it’s growing a little painful here and there.

Stay tuned….

During my DLWS sessions at Yosemite National Park, the class travelled to Glacier Point to watch the dying sunlight on Half Dome. While we watched the glow from the sunset behind us, we were treated to a beautiful moonrise through the thin clouds.

Moonrise at Half Dome is available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing Moonrise at Half Dome.

Found here, the Planetary Society is lobbying to save the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. You can read their statement here.

To me, this is bigger than big. We, as humankind, owe it to the rest of the life on this planet to do this one thing to try to protect it from objects in space. Cats and dogs may be great pets, but they can’t track a near-Earth orbit rock. Right now, we’re the last stand in the protection of the Earth from these denizens of deep space. I’ve stood at the edge of Meteor Crater in Arizona, and the devastation caused by that impact is more than my mind can comprehend. That wasn’t even all that big a rock. Imagine the devastation if an object like that were to strike in a populated center. Now imagine it’s even larger. It’s staggering.

Follow the links on the statement page, and send your Congressional representatives a message about preserving Arecibo. Let them know that you’re interested in improving mankind’s chances of surviving longer on this planet. I did.
