I thing I’m going to have to buy memory for my PC. I was working with my Photoshop (which is a memory HOG) and it just killed my poor old computer. I was lucky to have saved right before my computer froze up or that image would have been kaput and I would have let it stay that way.

I’ve been working on doing image enhancements for some family members. Just trying it out to see if I have a knack for it. I’m not too bad. There is so much that can be done with that software and it’s taking me more time to get deep into than I anticipated. I’ve used it for minor stuff, such as image resizing and color enhancement, but now I’m way more into it. I like that it allows me to express my artistic side while on the computer. I also love to see what interesting things I can do with it.

I won’t be able to put anything up here, unfortunately. I’ve agreed to respect the privacy of my family and NOT plaster them all over the Internet. I’m planning on taking some wildlife and plant photos soon and maybe I’ll be able to wow you with that later.

So far I haven’t made any progress. I’m still trying to figure out how to mirror this domain while the DNS is moving. You’d think the instructions would be easier to follow for a Technology major, but I seem to be lacking some kind of gene for the understanding of this stuff. I should just pack up the old Ping Golf clubs and go to the green. I’d have better luck with that, I think, and I don’t even know how to play golf.

I’m moving the archives from here to my subdomain that I mentioned earlier, but for some reason they’re not showing up. I really don’t want to use the WP on this, because I was really looking forward to learning MT. I like the admin interface and the default templates are pretty nice. The lack of real support kind of sucks, but then WP support forums aren’t much help anymore anyway. I think that I’ll have an easier time designing for MT than with WP themes- because, really, the code for the WP themes kind of gives me a headache.

I don’t know. We’ll see. I’ll be hunting for plugins, so if you guys have any ideas shoot me a message.

Tonight I was helping a friend upgrade her WP installation. I actually should have done it a while ago, but she never specifically gave me the go-ahead. Unfortunately for her, I saw a warning about a new threat for the old WP, so I just went ahead and switched it for her¹. Now she’s got to find a new theme. Oops.

Still it was a huge headache. I forgot all about deleting the cache and couldn’t figure out why her dashboard didn’t change. I’m pretty sure this was also the reason why her theme kept switching to default on her. Another oops on my part. I hope that it’s working better for her now. Personally, I love the new WP. Some people don’t. She might very well be one of those people.

Right about now I’m wishing I had a basement lined with wine racks so I could help myself to some headache remedy. Of course, if I did have something like that, it probably would have toys and magazines instead of fermented grapes. Why is it these projects always make my head hurt, but I always feel such a sense of accomplishment when I solve the puzzle? Still, I want that wine.
