WordCamp talk: The WordPress Cartoonist
I’m speaking about WordPress, the software that runs this site
Great technological advancement
Anyone who has followed me (digitally) over the last few years will know that my church cartoons site, CartoonChurch.com, has been having difficulties. A reoccurring problem that no one could fix, along with an incompetently-run web hosting company, a *different* moving-the-site problem that no one could fix, and my own incompetence, all combined to produce…
The mobile cartoonist
Warning: technical post. Some may not find it of interest. Yes, this is a picture of someone taking a picture of a cartoon. Don’t ask how many takes this took. One of my aims in life (I haven’t set my sights that high) is to be able to post cartoons on this blog from anywhere….
Website upgrades and downgrades
I’ve been continuing to work hard on this website. Since last week: I’ve changed the site to fixed width. If this means nothing to you then don’t worry, it isn’t that important. The tiny cartoon thumbnails have gone and been replaced by larger cartoons, meaning for the first time the cartoons don’t have to be…
How social media connects us all
I have had a month or two of blissful non-connectivity owing to breaking my ‘mobile’ telephone. As of 12 September 2011 I once again have a telephone I can use to browse online things whilst out and about. Is this a good thing? Probably not. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do were…
Before the invention of the computer
Click here for a readable version: Parish life before the invention of the computer I think computers have, in general, make our lives less happy, but I don’t have time to discuss this as I have to go and do things on the computer. Don’t get me wrong, lots of very good things would not…
I could do with some help assessing widths
Please note: This post may be temporary if it messes up the page for a lot of people. A little interactive exercise. It would help me to know which of these arrows you can see in its entirety without it impinging on the sidebars of the blog. If you can see all of all of…
We need to sort out our navigational problems
In order to prepare ourselves for the expected onslaught of Christian Blog Award judges there are a few things that need to be sorted out. The first is the forward and back buttons on this website, which are currently in a state of disarray. Take as an example this page and scroll down to the…
Computer cartoon
After yesterday’s highs come the lows of the big important project not going very well. To be honest the computer not functioning is not one of the reasons (though me not functioning is). In truth I’m just posting this cartoon because it was scanned and ready to go. It was originally to accompany an in-depth…
Plea for technical help
*Warning: Dull post. Do not read if you came here to be interested or amused.* I am aware that I ask for technical help (usually on Twitter) several times a day, but I am taking a liberty and doing so once more. This time it is not for me and my blessed Mac, but for…
Discount code for making iPhone apps with AppMakr
Just under a month ago I posted my Dave Walker / CartoonChurch iPhone app here on the blog, and said that I hoped to have a discount code for making apps on AppMakr, the site I used. Well, I now have such a code. It will get you a 50% discount on the $199 appmaking…
Making an iPhone app with Appmakr
In my previous post I announced the new Dave Walker / CartoonChurch.com iPhone app (search for ‘CartoonChurch’ in iTunes). I made my app using Appmakr and a few people have contacted me about doing the same. This is a summary of some of the positive and negative aspects of making an app this way in…
The Dave Walker / CartoonChurch.com iPhone app
I’m pleased to be able to announce the Dave Walker / CartoonChurch app, enabling you to look at my cartoons on the iPhone and iPod Touch. If that link doesn’t work type ‘CartoonChurch’ or ‘Dave Walker’ into the search box on iTunes and you’ll find it. The app is free, and there are no advertisements….

Upgrading in progress
Uninteresting technical note: I’m currently upgrading my websites, so please excuse things occasionally not working overnight and on Monday morning. If anyone needs urgent cartoon assistance please contact me via info -at- cartoonchurch.com.
In-depth reflections on Mac ownership
I made the transfer from PC to Mac about a month ago. Here are my thoughts about it, numbered because the ordered list tag exists and I just don’t use it enough: I changed computers because I had worn out the keyboard letters on my other one out through my furious and continual typing. Also…
The CartoonChurch Facebook page
A small announcement of interest to those who use the Facebook internet website: CartoonChurch.com now has a ‘page’. If you need to find it in a hurry just remember this address: http://www.facebook.com/pages/CartoonChurchcom/134147785593 I posted it today as Facebook has redesigned its homepage, although not everyone can see it yet. For various uninteresting technical reasons launching…
At the Apple store
I went to the Apple store in London. The worship space was brightly lit, and row upon row of devotees stood at wooden benches gazing in adoration at white machines of varying shapes and sizes. A glass staircase lead upwards, where further rows of worshippers were doing much the same as those downstairs. People wearing…
