First, I downloaded the latest SQlite3 DLL. (I grabbed the DLL of the SQLite library without the TCL bindings.)

Then, I exracted the .dll and .def files to my C:\ruby\bin directory and that fixed my issue. (You’ll might have to restart your console session.)

These steps will also fix this error message:
“The procedure entry point sqlite3_column_database_name could not be located in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll.”

Hope this helps someone else running into the same issue.

Materials

Here’s the materials I used:

• Electrical Box – I got the deepest one I could find to optimize secret storage space. I also picked one up with fold-out ears; the ears swing out behind the drywall and keep the box in place.
• Coaxial Cover Plate – I used a coaxial cover plate, because you can use the coaxial knob as a little handle to grab onto to remove the plate. Also, be sure to get one that is large enough to fit over the electrical box, they make some that are smaller that won’t work as well. I made this mistake and I had to make an extra trip to the hardware store.
• Magnets – I found these at Michaels. I used these to hold the cover plate in place, that way I didn’t have to unscrew the screws every time I wanted to get into my secret storage.

Installation

First, I decided where I wanted it. (1) Then, I used a stud senor to make sure there was nothing behind the wall. (2) I traced around the outlet box and (3) used a drywall saw to cut the hole. (4) The outlet box fit nicely in the hole; so I tightened the screws with the fold-out ears; the ears grab the back of the drywall making a snug fit.

Cover Plate

After the electrical box is installed, you can put the cover plate on with the provided screws. This has it’s advantages because it’s a little more secure, but makes it more cumbersome to access, since you have to unscrew the screws every time you want to get into your secret storage. So, that’s why I decided to use magnets to hold the cover plate in place. To do this, I super glued the screws into the cover plate and used a dremel to cut off the excess screw. Then the magnets will stick to the end of the screw. I also used screws in the electrical box for the magnets to stick to. This works well because you can tighten or loosen the screws in the box to make the cover plate fit flush with the wall. Once you have the cover plate on, you’re done!

I finally got my vermicomposting worms today, after about an hour of tracking them down from the post office. I left the house to run an errand today and as I was leaving, I saw the mail truck about 10 houses away, so I thought, “Great! When I get home, my worms should be waiting for me.” But, apparently, they can’t leave “live animals” without someone being at the house.

So, when I returned home, there was a handwritten note from our mail lady, Patti, saying if I wanted my package I could try to track her down and she listed which streets she was going to be on. The package slip said I could pickup the package on Monday at the post office, but being that it was Saturday, I didn’t want the worms sitting there until Monday. So I desperately tried to find my worms, I cruised around the neighborhood but with no sign of her. I decided to drive to the post office to see if they had them; they didn’t, but I found out Patti was still on her route. And she was willing to meet me at the high school so I could pick up my package. I drove to the high school and Patti was waiting for me in the parking lot with my package. I raced home to unbox the worms.

I ordered my red worms from Moore Bait out of Eckley, Colorado. I was supposed to get them yesterday, but the temperature was too cold to ship them. Thankfully the owner, Larry, has the well-being of the worms in mind. I didn’t mind waiting another day to get them either. Email correspondence with Larry was great too, letting me know my package was delayed and when it was shipped.

The worms were well packaged, enough padding so the worms didn’t get damaged. The box had air holes in it for extra ventilation too. And when I opened the box, the worms were nicely wrapped in a little burlap sac.

I put the worms into my vermicomposter. I buried them with a weeks worth of food scraps. I hope they’re hungry!

Here’s a closeup of the red worms. I can’t wait to harvest some black gold!

This is my first vermicomposter. Here’s my how-to instructions on how I built my worm bin.

This is the first worm bin I’ve built, so it has been a learning experience for me. While doing research for my worm bin, I found many different shapes and sizes for bins; some are made from wood, some from plastic, some have multiple layers… there doesn’t seem to be a universal worm bin. I was kind of fond of the ones that use plastic storage containers; they are easily attainable and don’t cost too much either, so I decided to use one of those.

I noticed most people drill holes in the container for ventilation, but I decided to go with louvre vents. From what I’ve read, the vents provide more air flow than simply drilling holes. And it makes it look snazzier too. I used Mark’s Bently’s Mini Worm Composting Bin for inspiration

Some systems have holes drilled on the bottom and have a lid or something to catch the worm tea. Or bins are nested, one inside the other to catch the worm tea. I didn’t like the idea of this too much because I’ve read the worms can fall through the holes. So I decided to install a drainage spigot on my worm bin.

Here’s a list of materials and tools I used:

• Rubbermaid plastic storage bin
• 8 – 2″ louvre vents
• Spigot
• Pen/Marker
• Dremel

First, I decided where I wanted the vents; four on the lid. Then I traced around the vents with a marker and used the dremel to cut out the holes for the vents.

I did the exact same thing for the sides; two vents on each side and for the spigot.

Here are some tips I learned when building my worm bin:

• When cutting out the holes for the vents, cut slightly on the outside of the marker line. If you cut on the inside, the hole will be too small for the vent.
• Most of my vents fit perfectly snug, but two of them were loose and wouldn’t stay in. So I doubled-up a rubber band and used that on the inside of the vent to kept it in place.
• Be sure to peel off the price tag stickers on the vents before you install them for maximum ventilation.
• I found the louvre vents at my local hardware store; down the building materials isle, next to the parts for gutters.

Here’s my finished vermicomposter. Now I just need to get some worms!

I find it annoying that when watching videos online most sites only have the choice of original video size and full screen. Some sites don’t even offer full screen. And what’s annoying about full screen mode is that if you have dual monitors, you can’t navigate to the secondary monitor with the video in full screen mode. Here’s a tip to increase the video size.

If you’re using a browser with “page zoom” most browsers nowadays have it (Opera, Firefox, Safari/Chrome, IE7). Just zoom in on the page by using the plus/minus keys or by holding down Control (or Command) and using the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out. This will increase the size of the video. It’s not quite as good as full screen; most videos don’t look good at full screen anyway. But it does make the video bigger and gives the ability to use your second monitor. I use “page zoom” on almost every video I watch online now.

Try it with this video below. Use the +/- keys on the keyboard or use Control and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

First, you can install the TinyMCE Advanced plugin for WordPress. After this is installed, go into the TinyMCE Advanced settings and enable the option – “Stop removing the <p> and <br /> tags when saving and show them in the HTML editor”. And then you can add all the <br /> tags you want.

The second solution, which I like better is to use <br clear=”none” /> in your posts. This will work without any plugins. Now, a couple of things worth mentioning. If you put this tag on it’s own line in your post, WordPress will put <br clear=”none” /> and <br /> inside of a <p>, thus making it two line breaks. But if you use it on the same line as another sentence, it will only add one line break. Either way, you can control the formatting of the line breaks with CSS using something like this…

br[clear="none"] {
  margin: 5px 0;
}

.entry br {
  margin: 2px 0;
}

I hope this was helpful. Also, if you want to learn how to stop WordPress from automatically adding <p> and <br /> to your post, read my other post: How to control WordPress HTML formatting.
