Wordpress 2.1 Running Smoothly but a Few Bugs In Admin

Posted by Kirk M on 24 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Blogging, Wordpress

I’m really quite please how smooth the upgrade to Wordpress 2.1 went. Once I had read the upgrade instructions a dozen times and accomplished all the upgrades from 2.0.5 on of course.

Ahhh…It’s the Weekend.

Posted by Kirk M on 19 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Life at home

It's the weekend and ask me if I'm ready for it. Go ahead, just ask me.
Hello?
Anyway…the answer is an unqualified YES…absolutely! No specific reason for it at all–just that I'm home, tomorrow is Saturday and that bloody rooster ain't gonna be a-crowin' in the morning…literally. Well, sort of literally.

Weather gone crazy

Posted by Kirk M on 19 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin

Such weather we have been having this winter. Not just up here in the Northeast Kingdom where it's recently been more like late fall until a few days ago but just about everywhere else as well.
