WordPress 2.2, not impressed

After updating this site to WordPress 2.2 I notice all kinds of little quirks, like when in the dashboard and I go to the manage link, no posts are listed (but the pages are…) Tons of plugins don’t work with the latest release and half of the time when I make a change or add […]

Blackberry to Q

I am a blackberry fan. I am not a Verizon fan. Due to Verizon’s inability to cater to Blackberry users by offering them the latest model phones (ie: those that are not discontinued), I am switching over to a Motorola Q. I will let you know how it goes… Technorati Tags: verizon, Q, motorola, backberry

Performancing Needs to Link More

I just read an article over at Performancing.com referencing Netscape over Digg. I got through their reasoning and was ready to surf over to Netscape and check out their offering and how it compares to Digg. I scrolled back up through the post to look for a link. Nope. Nowhere. In fact there was not […]

Anyone with a GE dishwasher better check the list of recalled units… Fire hazard strikes dishwashers again… Technorati Tags: GE, dishwashers

WordPress 2.2 – Plugin Problems

Well I got this blog updated to WordPress 2.2 I’m not happy. Trying the upgrade the other day broke some things after I reverted back so I tried it again, this time disabling plugins before I did.

College is out!

I am really enjoying not having assignments to do every night. I wish it was permanent… But, I signed up for more classes this summer, I know a glutton for punishment…

WordPress 2.2 released, still waiting

Well, I see WordPress 2.2 was released today and I went to upgrade which has always been a simple task. Not today. Put all the files over and ran the upgrade script to be met with a blank html page. I was able to update some other sites but not this one. I was able […]

New Site, New Look

After my venting last week about not being able to move my wordpress.com site to my own wordpress installation, one of my faithful readers came to the rescue. Rob over at Lagesse.org left me a note that indicated formatting may be the problem. After I dug a little deeper I found that the spam comments […]

Air Conditioner not working right

We seem to have a problem with our air conditioner. After it runs for about an hour it mysteriously kicks the breaker out in the breaker box. I don’t think there is a short anywhere but more likely an weak breaker. I got to get an electrician out to take a look though… Last year […]
