Just finished upgrading the server to address a mod_ssl vulnerability and get PHP 4.3.2. It went swimmingly, which is always nice.
In the process of upgrading about half a dozen sites to WordPress .71 to test it out before the code is released. It’s a good process because the sites need updating (security problem again) and it’s a good way to find any bugs that may have made it through so far.
I’ve always remarked that people tend to write about bad things more than they write about good things. Journals, blogs, diaries, all tend to be one-sided, at least in my experience. As is such though yesterday started quite badly, after I emerged from my migraine-medicine–induced haze I had a pleasant evening with my family.
Today has been great too; been hanging out with Mike and Christine at Kaveh Kanes (where the chai is tasty and the music is grooving) getting Christine set up in email utopia, where spam is like the distant buzzing of a fly you think you heard but you’re sure it’s really just in your head. Back to work! There looks to be some frisbee in the plans this evening…
Update: Mike has a meta moment.
Except now all my spam is making it to the christine@ account, without being assassinated. Ugh! I’m giddy that you pinged me though. Ping! Ping!
People write about the bad things because when they’re happy they’re too happy to stop and write about it.
Bingo… And during the school year they’re too stressed to write, which gives you about a weeks window of oppurtunity before the summer really kicks in… You may have to prepare for another pacific hiatus…
