Finally figured out how to take the AVI file from my camera and convert it to something a little more web friendly. This means I can now make my video clip of the Smash up derby at the Lincoln County Fair available.

It was excellent. I had never been to smash-up derby before, and the kids completely enjoyed the event.

The 'net' is not a 'highway', nor is it a glistening ocean to be 'surfed'. It is a garbage dump where you spend hours picking thru mounds of foul, useless, decomposing garbage until you find one little smidgen of worthful information. A small amount of marginally valueable goods are kept in bins at the gate, if you have to travel past those, then expect to compete with the seagulls, rats and trash bags full of used diapers just waiting to rip open and cover you with human byproduct."

I am happy to provide a .zip of the base theme this site is using, called SFII. It is based on the Solar Flare II theme provided by the Mambo CMS. It is available here, in the download section.

To create a nifty menu like I have on the left, use an unordered list of links in a div id="menu-container". The stylesheet takes care of the rest:

<div id="menu-container">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.example.com/blog/">My Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.example.com/gallery/">My Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.example.com/blog/pages/contactform.html">
      Contact Me!</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
