Upgrade Nightmare

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

On Thursday I decided it was time to upgrade Wordpress to 2.5.

Due to one technical issue with a plugin that stopped my pages from being generated and one failure on my host side that had to be fixed, it has taken almost 2 days to get everything in to a happy upgraded state.

If you see any problems, please let me know.

So much time

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Since, I am off work while I try to get mobile again I seem to have a lot of time on my hands. The activities that I can do are limited though (I can’t play rock band).

My current technique is to watch series in their completeness.

Last week I watched all 6 Star Wars movies.

From Friday to Tuesday I watched all 4 seasons of The Office (US version).

What does the rest of this week hold? Only time will tell.

I can feel my toes

Friday, May 9th, 2008

My surgery last week went pretty well. My bak was a bit more of a mess than expected, but the surgeon was able to salvage some of the disk. I can now feel my toes and the pain in my leg is slowly improving.

The cut in my back was fairly small (only a couple of inches) and is healing nicely.

The recovery period continues. I have received lots of delicious chocolates and other goodies. I am also having fun entertaining myself with movies, tv shows, coloring (yup, the crayons are back), and an etch a sketch.
