Five things about me! I would have done more, but you’d have been bored to tears, I fear…

I forgot to add that puzzles can also teach kids the value of patience in problem solving. I should know; I was a pretty impatient kid until I started really getting into problem solving!

Lately, I’ve been enduring some real pains in upgrading the web apps that this site uses the most. I use WordPress for the blog portion and Zenphoto for my photo gallery. The WP upgrade went relatively smooth yesterday, after I almost had a heart attack when I didn’t see any posts on my blog pages! However, the ZP gallery upgrade isn’t going very well. Some of the administration features are very buggy… even the ones that aren’t so new! Added to that, the upgrade broke the functioning of my random photo section of the sidebar, due to some new file structuring. Well, I have to count my blessings anyways; at least the photo albums are still visible, though just not presented the way I want it to be.

In related news, I did away with the New Pictures album, mainly because it was a PITA to re-arrange pictures every so often into the other albums, thus breaking the metadata info. If I need to show off the new pics, that’s what the blog is for!

Anyways, feel free to look at the photo gallery and look at some pics you may not have seen yet. The album thumbnails will NOT reflect what is new. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Cheers!

Update: After writing and saving this post multiple times (!!!), I’ve confirmed that Safari just doesn’t like WordPress’ new fangled visual editor very much. The headaches continue…

Due to some things I had to take care of here in our home, I will have to reschedule the last two music reviews. They will be completed and posted Friday and Saturday. I’m also thinking of picking out two classic albums and giving my thoughts on them. I’ll announce these later.

Good night!
