A little here and there

My blog has been acting up the whole of last week – which is why I haven’t been able to post about the other mundane stuff I’ve been up to.

Some geek shit

I had just upgraded the core WordPress engine, and for some reason, my index page won’t display articles. All other pages work though. There was nothing wrong with my code; and I don’t say this arrogantly, but because I tried plugging my code to a default template and it worked flawlessly. (Of course it did… why shouldn’t it? Ok that was a tad arrogant 😉 hehehe.)

Anyways, I had the time to sort it out today after finishing work. Turns out the new version wouldn’t play nice with concurrent database connections like the older one did. 1 my peer list, and social network icons, are stored in another database Anyways, nothing that a simple mysql_select_db(); switch couldn’t fix. So back to regular programming Read More

Car talk

I’ve accomplished about 98% of what I intend to do with the new car. I was supposed to post this when everything was done, but there’s been a delay on the two “parts” I’m waiting on.

You have to understand that this is essentially my true “first car.” I have this wierd OC-ness with hand-me-downs/2nd hand stuff… I basically don’t like them. I like brand new stuff because I’m the type of person who really takes care of the things I own 1 That’s the reason why people like buying my used items; because they’re almost certain that whatever I sell them will be in excellent condition

That’s why I was never attached to any of our other cars, either they were 2nd hand, or brand new but had to be shared with my sister, etc. etc. I could really never bring myself to care (or spend) for something I know other people have dibs on hahaha. That’s just the way I am.

This car on the other hand, is one I had chosen myself, I had acquired myself, and have full control over. If something breaks… I know it was because of me – because there’s no one else to blame… and I wouldn’t mind spending to fix it. Read More
