Another successful upgrade

I could get used to this, given how simple it has been. Still working properly after another upgrade. The past few systems (Geeklog, Drupal) have all had serious issues and this one (Wordpress), not a peep.

As a matter of fact, in the time between initiating the post and getting back to it, there was yet another update. It also installed without issue.

It's the July really long weekend

no description Friday was Canada Day, Monday is Independence Day. That makes it a very long weekend when you take stat holidays in Canada and report into a group in the US ($DAYJOB). As a result, I get to spend the Monday collecting any items that cropped up on the Friday and taking care of them before my compatriots south of the border have a look at them. This doesn’t really happen all that often, but it’s nice when it does.

Wordpress has this export/import feature

I was just thinking about all of my past comments to the “Usual Suspects” about adding data from times long gone to the site. That reminded me that I once had a blog on Vox which closed last November (2010) and they provided a mechanism to convert the blog over to wordpress.com.

As it was going to vanish and I had actually bothered to post some items over there, I decided to do the migration and save the data. The actual process was much smoother then I expected it to be - the posts translated properly and looked good. As this was effectively a Q&D backup, I left it as a private blog, deciding that I’d move it here eventaully.
