Upgrading!

31 March 2008

I’m upgrading to WordPress 2.5 today. If this blog goes down, that’s what’s happening.I hope the upgrade will fix the issues we have had with commenting lately (by the way, it happened to me!) We shall see. Wish me luck! ===== By the way, the theme change is due to the upgrade — the theme [...]

More Bloggery

30 March 2008

Well.  Yesterday the update of WordPress came out, and I clean-installed it onto several test blogs to see how it works.  It works!  I’m also in the process of setting up a new space for this blog, which, as I’ve already promised, will be migrating to its own special server over the course of the next few [...]

Major problems

29 March 2008

Apologies to you all. I’m having major problems with this blog. Posting has become a huge headache. I promised to migrate the whole thing to another server, and had hoped to put that off till next week, but have decided to take the plunge and do it now. Nobody can comment on this one, and [...]

Hell thaws again

29 March 2008

Hat tip to Rick Lowe, for linking to this blog. Since our brief moment of harmony, though, I think we’re going to part ways again. Here’s why hell couldn’t have stayed frozen for long. I’m a great big fan of The Wire — the TV show about the Baltimore streets that’s set up to be [...]

CARIFESTA XI

27 March 2008

For people who haven’t been paying attention, it turns out that The Bahamas is going to host CARIFESTA after all, earlier than originally announced. Trinidad and Tobago has agreed to let The Bahamas host the Caribbean Festival of Creative Arts (CARIFESTA) in 2010, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham announced Saturday. He made the disclosure during a [...]

Hell freezes over

26 March 2008

It’s not often that Rick Lowe of BlogBahamas and I agree on much. In fact, if you follow my blog or his, you’ll conclude that we have maintained a relationship of cordial disagreement for the past few years. Our politics are very much at odds — I *gasp!* have not-so-vague socialist tendencies and he’s *oh [...]

Good Friday: fish and hot cross buns, and a little poetry to think upon

22 March 2008

In our office, we house the richness of the Bahamian experience. Now I grew up with the idea that to be a true-true Bahamian Christian one had to be a Baptist. That was what the conscious culture seemed to say. If you were Anglican you were Eurocentric, the sort of person Jamaicans might label “Afro-Saxon”. [...]

It’s that time of the year

16 March 2008

when I disappear from view. The reason? The E. Clement Bethel National Arts Festival. For those who don’t know, the spring period in the Department of Culture (as they call my division) is the other great programme that we do. Unlike Junkanoo, however, the vast majority of Bahamians seem not to have heard about it. [...]

Aftermath of book launch

9 March 2008

Many, many thanks to all who came out, who emailed me, who called, who otherwise supported me with good thoughts and nice wishes. The book launch at Chapter One went very well! Thursday and Friday I was in Freeport for the E. Clement Bethel National Arts Festival, so if you’re wondering why the silence, that’s [...]
