There’s nothing more frustrating than sitting down and making time to run updates for one’s site, only to find out that wordpress is melting down because it says that this latest version of wordpress requires a newer version of MySQL. So you log into your web host’s portal. You check one server, which should be the correct server. Its running SQL 5 ( Read more... )

I woke up today, and realized that an entire day of being in the house and sleeping was driving me slowly nuts. I needed to do…something. So I got dressed and mowed the lawn. Then we went to freddys and got new hoses, a bird feeder, and a bug zapper. I’m also toying with the idea of a gas grill. Hmm. I dunno. Now, I’m stretched out on the bed with ( Read more... )

So that spiffy set of Logitech portable speakers I own. Yes, the ones with the battery pack. They no longer hold a charge. I unplug them, they shut right off. Annoying to say the least.

One could aptly say it’s been a busy day. I woke up after Meg got back from the gym. We regrouped, and headed out the door to run errands. This began with going to lowes.

Its all about perspective. When I was a kid, I hated getting roped into yard work. Mowing, trimming, all that shit. I didnt care in the least. Now, its years later, and I have a huge backyard and a huge front yard. Both have been overgrown with moss. The grass hasnt really been tended to either. And it sat wild and untouched for a year and a half. ( Read more... )

As some of you may or may not know, I picked up Borderlands on a fluke, when it first came out. Like everyone else, I was shocked at how good it was, and then spent hours sucked into the original game as well as the expansion packs. Recently, Borderlands shipped for the Mac. Of course, we know this means I picked it up. Its one of my favourite ( Read more... )
