Site Maintenance.

Today is my 45th birthday. I’m celebrating by quaffing a bit of bubbly, processing some waste veggie oil into BioDiesel, and upgrading WordPress here on my website. Be patient while I perform this task. Be back soon!

Update, Monday: Well… that was fun! It seems I broke it for a while. Rog was right, I should have slowed down on the drinking and sped up on the RTFM’ing! 😉

The site didn’t break for any of you (except a few display items) but I managed to lock myself out of all the admin functions for about 18 hours. Logging in just sent me into a loop, as did doing a password reset… or even manually editing my user entry in the SQL database. Finally 9at the suggestion of one of my staff late last night (Thanks Josh!) I yanked all the site plugins and blew away my user passwd in SQL. That did the trick. I logged back in, was able to complete the upgrade, then went to bed. Finally fixed my passwd via a normal reset this afternoon and it seems all is well. I’ll start re-plugging my plug-ins again when I have some time.

Thanks for you patience and birthday wishes!.. speaking of which Sue & Nick took me to The Keg with my free birthday dinner coupon. I had a great steak (with bleu cheese & garlic… which woke me up later!) and some awesome wine.

  1. Upgrading WordPress while under the influence of an intoxicating beverage; scary! On second thought, perhaps that is what it takes!

    Happy Birthday, Chuck. I just had my 66th about a week ago.

  2. Somehow I missed this entry. A belated Happy Birthday!! I think I’ll go have a wee dram of Caol Ila in your honor.
