Holy Site Upgrades, Batman

by Rachael E.C. Acklin on November 17, 2009

WOW.

If you were here any of yesterday, I apologize. If you were here last night, I apologize.

It seems that my site’s previous MySQL database stopped talking to it (I don’t know if they had a fight or what, but somebody had an argument and somebody refused to speak to somebody else), so in the middle of yesterday morning, the whole thing stopped working.

ERROR ESTABLISHING DATABASE CONNECTION blah blah blah OMGCRAP.

Now, being an awesome webhost and all that, I immediately knew what to do. (Cue superhero music and my big red cape)

That sure as heck doesn’t mean it was what I wanted to do, or what I had planned for the afternoon. Grr.

The upshot is: my site now lives on a different server (which I had been meaning to do anyway but didn’t have time), with a different database to have future arguments with. I hope they are all happy. I also upgraded to the newest Thesis version, which frankly rocks, and I had also been meaning to do that anyway but didn’t have the time.

Which brings me to your inspirational caffeinated takeaway for today:

You know that thing you’ve been putting off? The one you know you need to do, should probably do, might even be time sensitive but not enough to put you in top-priority mode?

It’s going to come and BITE YOU IN THE ASS if you don’t just go ahead and do it. Trust me. It will rearrange your schedule all by itself if you don’t just get it done.

I hope you’re happy, I have to learn these things by the sweat of my teeth for you. Or something like that.

“That thing.” You say it like there’s only ONE. I have a whole list and it’s just waiting for December 31st to roll around so I can attack it! Yippee for not working anymore!
