I couldn’t come up with anything as a main subject that would fill out a whole update here, so instead I think I’ll just do some little bites. Like ‘Blogger’s Digest’ if you will.
I updated WordPress (the magical engine which provides the world with my inane posting here) again this morning. This time it was just a minor upgrade with bugfixes, but a few weeks ago I did the major jump to 2.3.0 which was the first update I’d ever done to the software since its original upload. It was a little intimidating, as updating web scripts/software isn’t like updating an install on your computer. I made good backups, which really I ought to do more often anyway, so I was fairly confident, but it didn’t stop me reading the instructions several times. I’ve used other blogging stuff before, like the nice and friendly Blogger, but for me WordPress beats the rest hands-down. It’s simple and really powerful.
The coming weeks could make me very poor indeed. I’ve recently started playing some more games again (maybe it’s the dark evenings), and there is so much in the way of good new releases coming out I’m finding it difficult to decide which ones to pick up early and which to wait for. Call Of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassins Creed, Guitar Hero 3 are among the culprits, and there’s more besides. I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist CoD4, and that’s out this friday… maybe I can sell a kidney on ebay.
Newquay airport has started doing direct flight skiing package holidays to Geneva. Oh how I’d love to go, especially being able to fly from 10 miles away, but I think Mr Bank Account is going to have the final say on that this year. Maybe next.
A week of NaBloPoMo down, three more to go. It’s not as tricky as I thought it might be, I think I might miss it in December.
