Temporarily beaten by an underhanded theme author who set up a theme to generate maleficent encrypted code once the theme was activated, I very nearly gave up the ship.

Don’t pull this crap on me when I’m in a bad mood–which is nearly all the time these days. It makes me want to chuck the whole blogging business right into the old water closet I tell ya’

But give in I did not. I beat back the shadows of blogging depression and plowed my way through my WordPress core files and database until I was satisfied that all was spic and span.

But I’m still going to keep the default Kubrick theme.

I don’t have to worry about compatibility, non-compliance (well, mostly anyway), badly coded script, loaded up error logs and the like. Just good old plain vanilla.

So to heck with all this theme hunting and modifying and correcting and so on and so forth in the name of being “unique”. Who needs “unique” these days when the Default theme is available? I can pretty much guarantee that I’m one of the relatively few that actually run the thing.

Ironically enough, while poking around my cPanel, I found out that it was time to renew this here domain for another year (the 4th one—silly me). So I did.

Four years?
