Don’t know when…

The Disco Vengeance.

O.M.F.G. I am developing some……opinions……on my new web hosting provider and they mostly involve expletives and rude gestures. Do I need to go shopping for a replacement already? Anyway. Tirade cut short: Extensive downtime of the server for “unplanned maintenance” resulted in all of my posts and pages getting deleted—fifteen years worth of posts and pages—and tech support has thus far not given me any answers and so I did a restore from a backup… Keep reading…Don’t know when…

Don’t overthink it…

Oh hai.

I keep trying to start posts and then I get about three lines in and…ech. Delete. Come back later. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. We are in the middle of a four-day weekend. Bob’s company started closing for MLK Day in recent years and he took Tuesday off to use up some time. It’s nice to have a long weekend when we’re not sick since our Christmas vacation was tainted. Plague Update: Still coughing three weeks later…. Keep reading…Don’t overthink it…

Just a certain extent…

Fictional Narrative

I moved around a bunch of directories on my domain, broke every single image link, ran some mySQL scripts to fix it (scripts? queries? code?), changed a few more directories, ran a separate plugin to fix that, entered the wrong information that I couldn’t undo and had to manually fix a few dozen posts, then manually updated every single post to get the featured images to update properly. I combed through two defunct subdomains that… Keep reading…Just a certain extent…

IT'S SNOWING! Again.

IT’S SNOWING!!! Again. They’re running out of room to pile this stuff up when they plow and it’s only the middle of January. WordPress automatically installs a new default theme every year. And every year, WordPress yells at me for the security risk of having an inactive theme—which is last year’s automatically installed default theme. You made that mess, WordPress, YOU clean it up. (Yes, I know there are a multitude of reasons why WP… Keep reading…Always on the hunt…

Witch's Night Out

November. Week 138. Because whatever. Somehow it’s November. Already? or Only? depends on the day. Or hour. Minute to minute really. It’s also 76 degrees. In November. In Minnesota. That’s not normal. … I changed my blog theme. It’s nearly identical to my old theme. (It was designed by the same person.) But there are some subtle formatting bits that I liked better. I’m still tweaking settings and pieces of custom CSS and I had… Keep reading…Stray stream of light…

Staring at walls for hours…

Have we even eaten anything yet today???

WordPress did a big ol’ update and completely changed the format of the post editor and JEEZY CREEZY it is awful. Fortunately they also now have a “Classic Editor” plugin to bring it back to its old look and I installed that bitch right quick because the new shit is UN. USEABLE. We are now on Christmas vacation and neither one of us has any idea what day it is or what time it is… Keep reading…Staring at walls for hours…
