Hello, database

Friday, November 14th, 2008

A couple weeks ago my webhost (hey guys!) sent me an email saying I had to upgrade from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5 or else.  Heh - actually they were kind of vague on the "or else" part. It was more like, "Hey you're missing out on great features in ...

As I giddily await for WP 2.7 I will drink this coffee

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

It's not going to happen today but soon I will be guilted into upgrading my blog software. What happens if I don't upgrade it? Something like - I can haz tedfoo. This time though, I'm going to do something different. Instead of deleting the previous version's files - I'm just going ...

Steve Jobs introduces (again) the world to the highly anticipated iPhone. I write this as my 4G iPod spins wildly out of control trying to sync its poor mind into my computer. I really do love Apple though. My favorite nickname for the iPhone? Glad you asked. The Jesus Phone.

Um, you’re gonna need that file

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

WordPress (the software that powers my blog) updated a few days ago. I'm anal about keeping things current so I went ahead and replaced the old files with the new code. In my eagerness to be done with it I accidentally deleted a file I shouldn't have. Luckily in my ...
