Testing… is this thing on? *tap, tap* 22 Mar 2011 Can you all hear me? Up the back? Just testing to see if the new host is working. We have some unfinished trimmings, like the blogroll, but if you can see this, put a comment below. If you can’t, don’t. Administrative
Administrative A piece of useful software for Mac-using teachers 15 Oct 2007 I gave a lecture yesterday on animal minds, and in the course of it tried to show some YouTube videos in Keynote by linking to the pages (tool using crows, by the way, and the excerpt from Life of Birds by Attenborough on Japanese crows using stop lights to get… Read More
Administrative Wilkins back in Portuguese 14 Aug 2008 Thanks to the editor of Trends in Ecology and Evolution, and the permissions department of Elsevier, my scientific blogging article is up again in Portuguese. At no cost! Thanks folks. João Carlos at Chi vó, non pó, translated it and hosts it. And it’s all legal and above board. Read More
Administrative I have arrived 17 Oct 201117 Oct 2011 I am now in Melbourne, and settling in amid the usual disasters and catastrophes involved in intercity moves… no solid internet yet, so I will be brief. I’ll be adding another Rise… post in a few days. I’m flying back to Sydney on Friday to give a talk, so that… Read More
PS: I’m pleased that you are posting again; however, this site is very busy. The peachy pink rectangles with the little boxes for submit and save and the boxes to the left of the post, arranged in flowchart style, that say “O”, “Tweet” and “share” are distracting.
Rats! I had to type in my information to post. Oh, I see why. The comments page shows as being “cx124.justhost.com” rather than as “evolvingthoughts.net”. Presumably links to specific posts will also show “cx124.justhost.com”.
OK, can anyone suggest a better social networking widget/plugin? I’ll chase up the URL thing. It involves Black Magic and Goat Sacrifices.
You’re back! Cool, I’m off to the bottle shop to get sozzled and then type another unedifying rant here. You’ve been warned!
Yep, everything seems to be online over here. One slight thing: your category dropdown menu in the right sidebar seems to be a bit too wide. Not sure if that can be adjusted though…
It is looking good. I’m glad that the link problem seems to be sorted out. On DNS, I am still getting some wordpress IPs: 74.200.243.251, 76.74.255.123, 76.74.254.123, 72.233.2.59, 74.200.243.253, 72.233.2.58. In case it isn’t clear, those are the IP addresses that I am seeing. They all have a 5 minute timeout. Okay, I see what is going on. Some of the DNS servers of my ISP still have the wordpress names servers listed as the source of information. It looks as if that should all time out in less than one day. Until then, things might be erratic.
There has *got* to be a better way to manage domain names and IPs! This is so totally baroque and opaque and other words ending in -que. WordPress.com reverted my DNS listing. I locked it, so one hopes that will prevent it happening again. Got to renew that soon, too.

Man, I cleared my cache on Firefox. Old site. Cleared my cache on Midori. Old site. Cleared my cache on Opera. Old site. Almost gave up. Now I found it wasn’t my fault I couldn’t find this site.
None of the tag links seem to work. I tried several of the links listed under “Agnosticism, Atheism and Definition” and always got “Page not found.” Are all those pages gone now?
