Whinging

Problem: Con director updates Facebook with things like room party notices and upcoming deadlines but not the actual website.

Solution: editorial comment removed Figure out some way to grab items posted to Facebook and post them as new posts in Wordpress.

Complication: Several plugins exist that grab Facebook content and display it in a sidebar, but nothing I can find that scrapes it to make new WP posts, and I'd rather keep all updates together as updates.

Action: Whine about it on LJ and DW instead of doing anything useful. (I suppose I could take one of the plugins and rip it apart to see how they do what they do, to start with... Hrm.)



(Also: cannot find a magazine-style layout that suits our needs. Woe is me; would rather not try to figure out how to code nifty advanced features and instead merely tweak layouts.)

Currently reading: And Furthermore, by Judi Dench. Loose collection of reminiscences about her acting career, arranged in chronological order. Not very far in, enjoying the ramblingness of it quite well. Also amazed at the photos of her in her younger days, as while she was pretty then, she didn't get stunning until later.

My one Judi Dench story is that a few years back Mom and I were in London, and Mom had gotten us tickets to see her in The Royal Family, which is a play about a dysfunctional theatre family loosely based on the Barrymores, IIRC. Dench played the matriarch and in her grand death scene she was holding a wineglass as she collapsed backwards into a chair, and when she threw her arm up as she did so, the glass fell on the floor and smashed (as it clearly was supposed to do), but a chunk of it flew out into the audience and nailed some poor sap right in the head (as it clearly was not supposed to do). :)
