Upgrades and fix

   Posted by: Yoggie

I managed to fix the Twitter problem by uninstalling Twitter Tools and then re-installing it.  So far it is working well.  I also managed to get the upgrade to WordPress 2.8.6 in though the automatic upgrade is still not working with my server.

I’ll be back later with more.

Problems with Twitter

   Posted by: Yoggie

I recently changed the password to my Twitter account and now my Tweets are not showing up on my blog even after I changed the password in Twitter Tools.  I will be working on fixing this problem and installing the latest WordPress upgrade.  Wish me luck.

Behold the upgrade

   Posted by: Yoggie

Well, if things worked out okay then this post should go live with the announcement of my install of version 2.8.5 of WordPress is successful.  If not then you can’t read this and know that I am pantless.

Be Tweeting and not posting

   Posted by: Yoggie

Yes, I’ve been a bad boy and let Twitter post for me.  Okay, technically since I am posting to Twitter then I am actually posting and not Twitter.  I have been so busy lately that I don’t really have time for posts, in fact I am behind on a WordPress update and I haven’t done a meme in weeks.  I’ll be back with real post sometime today.

Simpson’s sky

   Posted by: Yoggie

Just when I thought it was safe to get back in the water… uhm blogoshpere, things go south in both hardware and um I guess hardware.  I keep planning on doing some serious blogging and about the time I sit down something happens, whether it be really bad storm, connection problems, work overload, or just some project at home that needs to be done gets in the way.  I know, it only takes a few minutes to jot something down, why don’t you keep us informed on Twitter, your shoes are on fire… (?) I only have so many hours and minutes in a day and I already do not sleep enough.  I will do my best to get myself on-line more often and actually write something of substance.

Why the post’s title?  I was driving back to work (I had to get a replacement keyboard for my wife) and I looked up in the sky and it looked just like the sky on The Simpsons.  I took pictures but I don’t have any way at present to get them off my phone.

WordPress upgrade to 2.8.4

   Posted by: Yoggie

I upgraded to version 2.8.4 of WordPress and as usual the automatic upgrade did not work.  I am at a loss as to exactly why the process does not work for me.

Why yes, I did drop off the Earth

   Posted by: Yoggie

I dropped off the Earth, floated around Jupiter for awhile, and then ended up stranded on Pluto until a Vogon Constructor ship ran into the planet and I fell into one of the open cargo holds.

Yes, it has been over a month since I last posted… and I had all of these ideas for articles full of wit and insight, too. Unfortunately, I have been very busy the past month with work and home life and my computer was also having a bad time of it. Hopefully, I will be back on track to post everyday (and there goes what is left of my readership out the door) with some real content…. yeah, and pigs fly on golden CD players.

I really don’t know where the time went.  Everyday I would get to work and it would be rush rush rush fix a problem in a hurry and then it would be time to go home where it is rush rush rush do my chores, fix dinner, we have to go somewhere it is someone’s birthday/anniversary/first poop.  I have projects backed up that I have promised people I would get to, though I did get one major home project done – renovating the closet in the study/office of my house.  Now I have sturdy shelves that are adjustable and will not fall down from the weight of the coats and jackets hanging.  The next home project is to do the same with my bedroom closet.

Help Planet Karen

   Posted by: Yoggie

Karen Ellis‘ apartment was damaged in a fire that engulfed her building leaving a person dead.  Though she was uninjured (outside of some smoke inhalation), her apartment was severely damaged and most of her possessions either destroyed or ruined beyond repair.  She is currently staying with friends and communicating through borrowed equipment while looking for another apartment.  There is currently a donation drive (http://girl-wonder.org/2009/02/benefit/) to help her with her financial needs.  Any amount will help.  There will also be fundraising auction to be announced at a later date.

And if you are wondering why you should donate, well I said so.  If that is not enough, check out her diary/comic and you’ll know why you should.
