Upgraded Site

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 this morning. What else would you be doing at 5am on a Saturday anyway?
They call the release Dexter after some tenor saxophonist I never heard of. Bet he was loud though. But that’s neither here nor there. What is important is that the site is working both for you as [...]

Snippets #12A

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

See what I did there? 12A – Just in case any readers have triskaidekaphobia. I don’t personally, though I do have a fear of the number 19.99. You know when you press €20 on the ATM and it laughs at you saying bugger off, you have insufficient funds. Wouldn’t you think ATM’s with all the [...]

It also reminds me I was working on a film set shortly before going back to school myself. On the last day it [...]

Snippets #12

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Eolaí is ar ais arís in Ireland after 8 years, 5 months, 2 weeks and 3 days in Kansas. If it was murder he’d be out long ago. Anyway, pop over and say welcome home, or if you reading this elsewhere, ask him how it’s going.

Don’t ask him about the weather though. Touchy subject here [...]
