JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

I was reading about Starbucks’ quotes. I think the quotes have achieved what was initially intended. People are discussing differing points of view. What’s wrong with that as long as the list of quotes is diverse?

We were watching satellite TV for about 5 minutes, and then a bulletin came on that mainland had a 5.0 quake in the Kanto area. The plates sure are on the move this year. Between the shaking and Wilma, looks like we’re headed for another active weekend from Mom Nature.

Another update on ongoing changes to the site. In addition to new themes, a spell check plugin has been added to the site. I was able to find the site icon on the “weekly hogen” search in Feedster and the “today’s current weather” search in Technorati. So, little by little the changes are beginning to take effect.

Weekly Hogen (Okinawan Dialect) :

Hogen – umukoo neeran?(?????????)

Okay here I go again. My Feedster icon only shows in the actual Feedster account, not on the Feedster search section. So I’m trying to see what it takes to get that portion of the site to display the icon.

If you have been following the site then you will notice I’ve made a few changes. The varying themes have been updated to provide a more complete and wider selection. I’ve also added links for little “escapes” from the island life. I am continuing to try and learn the scripting languages of each program in order to provide a site that can be viewed accurately in as many applications as possible. Good news is I was finally able to get my icon on the Feedster claim and it actually shows up on the Technorati site!!! One down, one million nine hundred ninety-nine… things to go.
