Hello Everyone! Welcome to The Hjelle Web page. We finally got it up! :) David has been working hard on it for the past 9 or more months, with a few breaks in between ;) Although I think he would tell you he has been working on it longer than just 9 months. We are glad that it is up.
So much as happened in the past year I don’t know where to begin. Most of the exciting stuff has already been passed around through my mass e-mails, but the last one was at least 5 months ago or more. (I have put the mass e-mails in the calendar if you would like to read them.) Did you Know that our one year anniversary is coming up?!? Exciting isn’t it?! Just a week away! Horray!!!!
What a year it has been! Our unexpected 5 month honeymoon in Canada, living in my parents 5th wheel trailer in their yard. Living with David parents for a good month and then learning how to live with each other in “normal” circumstances. David working and me filling in my time as I need and will.
We love our apartment. Even though living with all white rooms from floor to ceiling is a bit of a nuisance, it does make for easier decorating. I can add colour where I want and it doesn’t clash with what is already here. So I’ve been able to add a lot of colour, surprise, surprise! ;)
I took a class at Dordt for kicks this past semester. And I’ve been training to work at the Family Crisis Center in Sioux Center. and I’ve been accepted to to volunteer with the abstinence program at the crisis pregnancy center in Orange City, but I haven’t been there at all since the first day :( I’ll have to get on that now that it is summer.
My friend Allison has been in town so we have spent a lot of time together. Making friends with a number of other people. David and I host a bible study on Friday nights. We adopted a fish a month ago or so, and just bought it a new friend yesterday! I’m attempting to see if I have a green thumb by growing some violets and chives. Next I’ll work on Gladiola and Sweet Williams. pretty exciting! We also have a bird feeder on our balcony and get a stead stream of birds every day. Especially when it’s stormy. And we have had a quite a few spring storms so far! I love it!
God has been good and we are blessed! I hope to keep you more regularly updated in the future!
In Christ Rita

I finally was able to figure out how to fix the calendar display so that it will change the month and the year appropriately as you scroll through—now it is easy to get to posts from the past!
I’m using Todd Larason’s Calendar plug-in for Blosxom, which has worked wonderfully except for that one little issue. That is now fixed.
All I had to do was find the lines that looked like this (with ~ signifying that the line continues—don’t type them!):
param('-quiet') or print~
"$fn.$flavour\n";
my $fh_w = new FileHandle ">~
$static_dir/$fn.$flavour" or~
die "Couldn't open $static_dir/~
$p for writing: $!";
$output = '';
print $fh_w
$indexes{$path} == 1
? &generate('static', $p,~
'', $flavour, $content_type)
: &generate('static', '',~
$p, $flavour, $content_type);
$fh_w->close;
and change it to look like this:
param('-quiet') or print~
"$fn.$flavour\n";
my $fh_w = new FileHandle ">~
$static_dir/$fn.$flavour" or~
die "Couldn't open $static_dir/~
$p for writing: $!";
$output = '';
($path_info_yr, $path_info_mo_num,~
$path_info_da) = split '/',$p~
if ($indexes{$path} != 1);
print $fh_w
$indexes{$path} == 1
? &generate('static', $p,~
'', $flavour, $content_type)
: &generate('static', '',~
$p, $flavour, $content_type);
$fh_w->close;
It was actually documented on the Bloxsom mailing list, but unfortunately, not very clearly. A little experimenting cleared it all up.
One of these days, I’ll learn Perl for real. Or any number of other languages I’d love to learn. :-D

Figures, doesn’t it? The moment I think I get all the kinks worked out of this site, I find out that I created what is known as an “infinite loop” that made the page reload forever for anyone who tried using Internet Explorer. Oops.
I seem to have an incredible knack for creating infinite loops as of late. As long as it doesn’t show up in my real job…
My sincere apologies, everyone. That problem is now fixed.
I hope that I could get the calendar working correctly at some point in the near future, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
