Babycatcher
A nurse midwife writes about her work experience in Lilongwe – sad and heart-wrenching with glimpses of hope.
I found a Quicktime movie about her work, but I can’t view it on my Windoze machine, even though I have the required Quicktime player.
[update] The video now works but it’s on a slowish server.

Posting WP Entries by Email
I’m still having trouble posting entries via email to my WordPress blog:
– How do I get rid of line breaks?
– How do I get the link across without a line break?I guess the email clients are introducing the line break somewhere along the line.

The Use of a Blog
Today i found out how useful old blog postings can be. Wanted to remove some Moire patterns from a newspaper scan and i knew that I had posted an entry on my old blog site. I get to minimize Moire patterns once a year at the most… and I easily forget which filter gives the best results. These days most scanners have an option to remove Moire patterns automatically… this scanner didn’t.
Note to myself: your blog can be useful to store tidbits of information you don’t always need. Esp. if you regularly work on more than one computer. I find that no matter how much you organize yourself, the info you’re looking for is bound to be on your other computer. Plus: somebody else might find your notes helpful.
Maybe this may seem obvious to you and not worth an entry. But I believe one of today’s challenges is managing information. Who would have thought a couple of years back, that your email archive is a reason to get a larger hard disk and more back-up space? Just cos people are afraid to trash emails which might have some useful info. Or cos they require a fallback if other systems have failed.
My blog is a sort of online scrap book, where I collect links, develop ideas, make notes, display photos and publish my views. Nothing really important. But it’s nice to see it’s useful as well… It’s also a fun way to keep up-to-date with current web technology. I can see how a RSS feed could be useful to distribute the company press releases and news I write during my day job.
BTW, I wasn’t really planning to migrate my old blog entries to my new home… 😉
