If you noticed that my site was down or weird for an hour or two last night, it’s because I finally got around to upgrading my blogging software. I was (embarrassingly) still at WordPress 1.2, and last night I upgraded to 1.5. I may well upgrade to 1.5.2 later tonight; their support site recommended going to 1.5 first. You will likely not notice any change, but it should afford me better spam controls and a general sense of well-being.
I was also reminded of the fact that while I do enjoy a little recreational programming, I’m really glad that Denny’s the one who does it for a career and not me. There was this one little line of code that kept hosing me, and I had neither the patience nor the attention to detail to figure out which line it was and what the problem was. Luckily, Denny was able to solve it for me.
Denny is currently very interested in something called version control. To be quite honest, I don’t really know what it is. I do know that last night before we went to sleep, I was reading a cheesy horror novel about slimy little creatures that feed on human blood, and he was reading this thick, boring-looking article that had to be held together with one of those giant clip things.
I felt bad for him that he had to read such a boring article (purely recreational, by the way, though it may affect his work somehow), so I made him sing “Like a Version” with me. It went like this:
Like a version
Controlled for the very first time.
Like a veeeeeeeersion
I can’t remember the rest, because he went on and used some terms I didn’t know.
He is my nerd boy and I love him.
