That Thing You (Haven’t Yet) Do(ne)
You can set me free or bang me up / Just stop torturing and tell me what / Your gonna do / What your gonna do
Writing about things
Publish and be damned. Assuming you have something to publish. And don’t delete it afterwards.
10 Gaming Years
10 years ago today, on the 1st January 2005, I posted my very first Gaming Diary post. Back then, I was using Blogger and it uploaded posts via FTP to my own server when I published. After a few years, Google decided to discontinue this ability, leaving me with three options: give my domain name to Google and continue with Blogger, change to a Blogger or Blogspot URL and continue with Blogger, or cut the cord and import the lot …
That Rev Chap, a year on
A year ago today, one of the few people I know online who I could call a proper actual friend, died suddenly. I won’t go into it all, as I’ve written everything before, but I wanted to mark it in some way. I’m still sad he’s gone. Something about the online fora I frequent, and Twitter, has changed a little. They’re not the same. Sure, he was just one of many in those places, but he’s one who made an …
Change is as good as a rest
It isn’t. That’s a complete and utter lie. A rest is far better than change, unless the change is a change from not resting to actually resting, and even then it’s not as good as a rest, it IS a rest. Stupid phrase. Anyway. Nonsense aside, you may have noticed I’ve done a bit of decorating. I don’t know if it’s all going to stay or not yet, but it’s about time I updated the theme to something, well, updated. …
Haunted
I suggested to this fella here that his One a Day post yesterday should be about things that scared him as a child, and his resultant ghost story reminded me of this one from my childhood, which I thought I’d share. Grey Lady. There’s always a Grey Lady. Friend of mine lived in a huge, but run down, manor house in the middle of nowhere, and often over the summer I’d hang out there, messing about in the boat on …
WordPress 3.2 update
So it seems nothing major broke with the update to WP3.2, which is good as I’m hearing lots of horror stories from other people – databases being chewed, themes being broken, Server 500 errors all over the place… nothing like that here yet. Mind you, I’ve not posted anything (on the blog at least) since the upgrade so there’s still time. Sorry about the lack of updates recently, incidentally, but there’ll be more soon!
WordPress 3.2
I’ve just upgraded this blog, and several of my other sites (diary, Game Over, Yeah!!, etc.) to WordPress 3.2. It’s quite a major change, and there have been many reports of it breaking sites. Fingers crossed all is currently well, as I can’t see anything too out of place. Please let me know if that isn’t the case for you! For what it’s worth, the new dashboard looks nice, but I miss the “New Post” link in the top right …
