Without a doubt the coolest thing I have ever seen.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that I was watching the new Transformers movie last night, which is awesome by the way and everyone must see it, but I’ve just discovered that German media group have released a 6-disk box-set of the first season of Power Rangers.

Needless to say I didn’t waste any time going to amazon.de and ordering my copy. If you too want to be as sad as me well click here http://www.amazon.de/Mighty-Morphin-Power-Rangers-Classixx/dp/B000O59Z6G

It does also have the English soundtrack.

I’ve been looking for a WordPress plugin that would show when Mercury was in Retrograde but there isn’t one so today I learned php and made my own.

Download:  mercretro.zip

Installation:
1. Upload the contents of mercRetro.zip to “wp-contents/plugins”.
2. Place this tag

<?php if(function_exists(mercRetro)){ mercRetro(); } ?>

anywhere in you want to in your template (eg sidebar.php, header.php)
3. In the admin panel go to “Plugins” and click “activate” beside “Mercury Retrograde”.

That’s it you’re done!

Keeping up-to-date:
This release has retrograde dates Oct 2007 - the end of 2023.
In order to add additional dates of retrograde simply

1. Open dates.txt in a text editor (This is found in “wp-contents/plugins/mercRetro”)
2. At the end of the file on a new line add the new date in the following format;

MM-DD-YYYY MM-DD-YYYY

where the first date is the start date and the second is the end date

(eg “10-11-2007 11-01-2007″, that is the eleventh of October till the first of November)

3. Save and upload the new file.

I am working on a admin panel to do this.

I’ve been awake since 7.30 and have been pressing refresh on the results page ever since.

Woohoo!!! Giddy!

It’s official my reign of terror as PaganSoc auditor can begin! [Insert Maniacal Here].

I’ve hit a bit of limbo. The site is teetering on the edge of being complete, I just need to;

do the Committee page (myself and Maebh have to write blurbs about ourselves and submit pictures)
gather some links (have a few but sugestions are welcome)
put togeher a FAQ for non-pagans (basically what’s the first question that pops into the mind of an average Joe when they hear Pagan).

Then the site will be finished. There will be no more coding, it is pure content form that point on.

BTW Does anyone have pics from the ‘05 Samhain Party? I have what was on the old site of the ‘04 one and my own from ‘06 but none at all from 2005.

PS My Mom’s sewing a hat for Lord Socky. She does these great primitive Witches (American cloth dolls [see also: Raggedy Ann]) and one of those hats would be perfect for Lord Socky. Yes Cheryl-Anne, Lord Socky, not Sir Socky as I read in last years Paths.

Starting to write that too by the way. And the Membership cards are done; printed, cut and all.
