Maybe I should stop waiting for something to write about and go find something to write about instead…

D’oh! upgrade
I just updated to the latest version of wordpress. My template customizations appear to have been wiped out. good thing I have a backup. I’ll put everything back the way I want it later tonight…
brain dead UI
“Click Finish to begin installation.”
Wait, what?
The blahs
I have nothing to say right now. At least nothing I feel is worth blogging about. I’m not even sure anyone is reading this besides me, and that is really ok. At least I still have my archive available. I should go now.
New York, New York
I’m traveling to the East Coast again for business the week after next. Maybe this time I’ll actually have a chance to make it into NYC and catch Avenue Q
The last time I was out there was for 3 days just before Thanksgiving. (I actually ended up flying back Thanksgiving day, thank you United for the missed connection in Denver.) This time I’ll be out there for the whole week.
What’s going on here?
This site is a temporary blog. My old blog site is shutting down at the end of the month. The admin kindly wrote an RSS exporter, as well as a WP importer that moves not only the posts and categories, but also the comments. I just finished importing 500+ entries with their associated categories and comments.
I think I want to eventually move as much of this content as possible over to my Vox blog. Their importer doesn’t seem to want to move that much content right now, but I’ve sent them a message and I’m hoping they’ll be able to help me out.
In the mean time, I’ll probably be posting in both places as I figure out what I want to do permanently.
(Carlo, if you’re reading this, thanks again for 5 years of g-blog.)
Where the hell did I dissapear off to?
July? WTF?
Hooloovoo does not exist in May 2006…
As far as my g-blog.net account knows, I dropped out of existence last month.
Wow – has it really been almost 2 months since my last post?
When will I get the urge to write more than an “I’m still here” post?
Not this time.
That was fun
DreamHost recent made some cool changes to how they manage thier MySQL severs. I just sucessfully migrated 2 databases off of my old mysql server onto a new one, and in the process split one of the databases into 3 (which is what I wanted to do all along, but setting up seperate host names for each was kind of a pain) Now I can manage all of the databases I .. uhm … “use” … from one phpMyAdmin instance.
I even managed to switch which database my bad jokes page and my personal glue site (neither of which gets much traffic) are pointed to with no perceiveable interruption.
now – if I could only get off my ass enough to put the other sites that these databases are designed for together….
Random goodness on teh intarwebs
I was doing a search for knitting patterns. My wife knits, so I am sometimes on the lookout for cool interesting things to share with her. I found a pattern for knee socks a couple of weeks ago that I sent her the link to because I know she was thinking about doing some to improve her hogwarts student costume.
Anyway – I did come across something on a knitting blog (well i think it’s a knitting blog – looks like its pretty new) that caught my attention since it’s not directly related to knitting. The cure for information overload: check it out for yourself
