By Jeff, on February 27th, 2008 This time I followed the directions to delete (almost) all the WordPress files on the server before uploading the new versions. That seems to work much better than overwriting them.
So far I haven’t seen any errors (though the database upgrade page was filled with errors, it also said it was successful at the end). Here’s to nothing cropping up moving forward.
And it even looks like I might be able to keep my theme. . . . → Read More: Upgrade successful!
By Jeff, on February 27th, 2008 The Players:
Dad – in the upstairs office, working Mom – …indisposed 3-year old, aka “Little Mommy” – playing in playroom 2-year old, aka “Stinky” – playing in playroom
So I’m sitting in my office, writing an email, the entire house quiet, when I hear Mom enter the playroom downstairs and stop short. Then an exclamation: “OH! What are you doing?” When that was repeated for the third time with the same mix of shock, . . . → Read More: Little Mommy drops the… um… ball

Well, I finally upgraded WordPress to 2.3.3. I’d been putting it off because I was afraid it would break things. It ended up being worse than I thought.
I’m still finding errors in the upgrade itself! I had to pull old versions of files just to get it complete the upgrade procedure. Who knows what I’m going to find when I finally get through all this.

By Jeff, on February 15th, 2008 My company has recently shut down all access to YouTube. I get that. I completely believe that many people are using company time and bandwidth to watch all sorts of inappropriate — or just plain time wasting — content. From a certain perspective, I can support the decision to prevent that from happening.
There is a war between those who would waste company time and resources, and those who are tasked with keeping that from . . . → Read More: I’m a casualty of war

In the wake of the recent controversy, including NY Times coverage, Facebook has announced it will delete users permanently upon request.
The request must be made through a form on a revised Help page:
The updated Facebook help page now includes the question “How do I delete my account?” The answer: “If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, . . . → Read More: Facebook changes deletion policy

Okay, I’m on Facebook. I have a love/hate relationship with Social Networking sites. I see the benefit they could offer (though I don’t think it’s truly being realized), but I also see huge opportunities for abuse in multiple areas, including security.
There have been commercials lately, targeted at teens, mostly, that . . . → Read More: How long will your face be on Facebook?
By Jeff, on February 12th, 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars | Star Wars: The Clone Wars In Theaters and on Television in 2008
The Clone Wars animated series is going to start with a theatrical release!
This is great news. To be honest, it’ll be a little weird to see an animated Star Wars on the big screen, and it’s a bit of an odd idea to launch a TV show with a theatrical pilot (though there . . . → Read More: Send In The Clones!!!!

Just ran across this free application that could be a replacement for Adobe Captivate, if you’re looking for a quick and dirty way to create software demos. Did I mention it’s free?
Just from the screenshots and incredibly short example, it looks like it does a pretty good job, but isn’t as polished looking as Captivate.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to soon. It might be a decent alternative . . . → Read More: Replace Adobe Captivate for free?

Okay, this is the most addicting waste of time I’ve come across in quite a while. So far my high score is just short of 170,000. Waaaaaay too much time spent doing it, too. And I’m way below the top 10 scorers. Pathetic.
Check it out! Join me in accomplishing nothing for hours on end!
