Roses and Fragility
There was a spell in my prayer a good while ago when Jesus gave me roses. I was drawn over and over to an image of a red rose and my spiritual director helped me stay with that simple experience and trust it. She suggested I let Jesus buy me one. So I did. And …
Similar Posts: Version 1.03
I’ve uploaded a new version of Similar Posts. It allows you to exclude static pages from the list of similar posts and also to exclude posts based on their category (thanks to commenter Upekshapriya for the suggestion). There is also a better list of stopwords based on the one MySQL uses for the full text …
Oops
I’ve been trying out a download tracking plugin. Most of the time it has worked fine but intermittently there have been scrambled downloads. My apologies to anyone served gibberish. I’ve reverted to plain untracked downloads for now.

What Passes For Humour Among Philosophers
I came across something to start my day with a laugh (or at least a wry smile) as I browsed the various feeds I’m subscribed to. Unfortunately I can’t give credit to the referrer since I’ve forgotten who it was. (I know … only an hour or two ago but that’s a problem of ME/CFS). …
