I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting old or what, but I found the nice dark theme I had loaded up here difficult to read. This one is still dark in parts, but the text is dark-on-light, which most people prefer anyway. And it’s still pretty. It’s a girl thing.
I don’t know why the gremlins have chosen the particular server my blog lives on for special trouble, but as of last night there were still problems loading the site. It just so happens that I had been writing a nice long post, half of which was lost due to this. The rest is in draft — I may or may not finish it later this evening. It wasn’t anything important, just me rambling on about stuff, but it really pisses me off when I go to all that effort for nothing. Grrr.
I got tired of the nagging message from WordPress that my version was out of date and upgraded. They’ve changed things around a bit in the admin screen, but the blog itself is just fine.
Update, hours later: and then they were doing some sort of kernel update on the site up until a few minutes ago. I just can’t win this weekend…
Over the past couple of days I’ve noticed the site has gone down a few times, mostly in the middle of the day. Of course, when I sent a ticket into the hosting company’s help desk everything went back to normal…
Anyway, if you have trouble loading the site at any point, I have noticed it and taken steps.
Or, well, if you must… but if you see weird stuff on the site, it’s because I’m fooling around with the theme. It’s not your mind! Well, as far as I know it’s not.
Okay, kids, I’ve picked this red and black theme for now. But more important than that, I’m having my first fundraiser of the new year. I can’t say that I am broke because of the holidays, because I was broke then, but I still haven’t found a job. Rent is due, bills are coming up, etc. Also my cats are mad at me because I ran out of their canned food and only have dry. They are starting to eye me hungrily — as in, “You know, we are meat-eaters, and the two-legged thing does seem to be made out of meat.”
I’m running through a bunch of themes for this site. Looks are important, don’t you know?
Real content coming soon. Yes I know I’ve said this about a zillion times.
Just in time for the last minutes of the first day of 2008 I finally figured out the problem with my databases. As usual, the problem was me and my pin-sized brain. More later, unless the fact that this is an election year (shudder, choke, cough) makes me throw my computer into the nearest body of water.
