LibreOffice Base now prompts me to install Java JDK (developer’s kit) instead of Java RTE (run-time engine) that most users have.

Returning to Pinterest Anyone?
Lately, I’ve been thinking about which social media is best to be on. With Elon Musk buying Twitter (or trying to) and with Facebook and Instagram plagued by misinformation and ads while turning into Meta whatever that will mean, there are days when I’m disgusted with all the old social media platforms, but I’m alsoContinue reading “Returning to Pinterest Anyone?”

Whole Wheat Cranberry Eggnog Muffins
Our holiday travels are finally over, so I can post about a recipe I modified to use some Christmas leftovers.

A Writer’s Craft Transfer Is Complete
I’ve been chronicalling the transfer of my creative writing textbook A Writers’ Craft between publishers. When I signed the contract, it was with Palgrave, and by the time the book came out, they were officially part of Macmillan International Higher Ed, and it was soon shifted over to their imprint Red Globe Press. This summer,Continue reading “A Writer’s Craft Transfer Is Complete”
