So here I am still waiting for The End to arrive. The lawn’s mowed and the place is generally neatened up, can’t look shabby when The End comes you know. But so far it’s just been a mixture of rain and…er…more rain just like it’s been for the last two weeks although most of my neighbors in this little valley of ours are out there madly mowing their lawns despite the wet.
This could be a sign?
To be honest about it though, I’m getting a little bored with this whole waiting on Rapture thing and when I’m bored I tend to do unwise things–mostly to my computer and this site. The first thing I did was update Just Thinkin’ to WordPress 3.2 beta 1. What the heck, I asked myself. It could only completely hose the thing and then I could get in some re-familiarization training with completely reloading WordPress, it’s databases and such. Something I haven’t done since the “bad ol’ days”. Unfortunately (or fortunately as the case may be), updating the site to pre-release software undoubtedly filled with bugs and unpleasantness went swimmingly much to my disgust so I had no choice but to write a post instead.
I also updated my badly out of date “2010 Weaver” theme, which has been out of development for awhile now, to the new “Weaver” theme (just Google it, you’ll find it) by the same theme author. In the process I managed not to lose my monkeys but I did lose my barn boards which is fine by me as the barn boards really didn’t have a lot to do with monkeys anyway. I also decided to make the look a bit turquoise-y. Not too sure why I did that but if any of you folks find it too terribly hard to read or just generally annoying, please let me know and I’ll try to find something even more annoying.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Since nothing as far as the dead rising from the grave, earthquakes, volcanoes, raging breezes and the like seem to be happening right at the moment I think I’ll squeeze in a bit of lunch just in case The End arrives this afternoon. I’d hate to be Raptured on an empty stomach.
If that was The Rapture, then I want my money back! A very disappointing show altogether.
So you have waited ’til now to try out WP Beta? Not like you at all at all?
Grandad – You paid money to attend the Rapture? I got it for free. I say it already happened and we just didn’t notice as only 2 qualified and were whisked heavenward. One was sent back I heard due to being a devout under false pretenses.
And yeah, I’m late to the beta thing. I’ve been busy mowing my swamp and it took awhile to get the lawn tractor out of the mud.
