Bits for 05/03/08
Or Miscellaneous Shit
- Saw Iron Man. Yes.
- I’m not a designer. I have a knack for the obvious, yes. But, I’m good with people (even if they’re pompous, annoying, cognitively dissonant, or ignorant), and I find myself explaining technical things successfully. I’m also irrationally persistent in some ways. So, I’ve applied, not once, not thrice, not quince, but six times to be Automattic’s next Happiness Engineer. I realize that that post is probably long gone, but I have certain motivations that lend themselves to desperation.
- The computer’s wonderful. I’m not without my conflictions, but I’m trying to make the most of them.
- Via Chris Glass, I find a plugin that allows for the automat(t)ic upgrading of Wordpress. I’ve used it, it’s quite good, and hopefully I won’t befall Dan Cederholm’s misfortunes. Having upgraded, I can’t say enough about the UI improvements in 2.5(.1).
- Update: I’m not sure what security vulnerability WP 2.5.1 closes, but within minutes of upgrading, I had 14 new spam comments. Make of that what you will.
- Update 2: I had merely forgotten to enable Akismet. Duh.
- I’m considering applying to be a garbage man. It’s a paid workout; I can’t smell, so I’m not put off of the stink; there are no cubicles involved; and the schedule might allow for full-time study.
- I’m still wrestling putting a few things together here. Large plans, mostly in the content, but also in the organization. For those among you who can empathize, the time this sort of endeavor takes is indirectly proportionate to developed skill. I’d reach out to more experienced peeps, but I won’t undervalue their creative value by asking to pay what I can afford. So, here we are. It’s coming, though.
- The Wife and I will be seeing Radiohead in late summer. A sober OMG.
