On the following of instructions

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

OK, so remember when I upgraded the ‘tumor last week?  Remember how I talked about doing it, and being careful, and taking my time, and testing it in the Quiet Room first?  Yeah?

Well, I lied.

And yesterday it turned out that all you luddites using IE and feedreaders (thinking you’re so cool) weren’t getting anything that came off the press after the upgrade.  I, using Firefox, had no problem.

Well, I tinkered, and tonkered, and messed around, trying to figure out this problem, and finally went back to following the directions.

Namely, step 3 or something of the upgrade process - delete the old files, rather than overwrite them.

I did that about 5 minutes ago, and it appears to be full on working.

It seems a shame that these days, I’m finding myself screwing up so much, with no BJ to laugh at me and call me a dumbass.  Sigh.  You guys go ahead and do it, and I’ll tell you who’s doing the best job.

All Hooped Out

I was going to write a post earlier this afternoon advertising Willow Brook’s Super Hoop Classic, held tonight. But then iTunes crashed, along with some other strange error messages, causing me to spend a good few hours backing things up and trying to fix the problem. Gotta keep my priorities straight.

So, we went to Super Hoops. There were hundreds of hyper kids, and way too many parents who didn’t clean up after themselves (a major pet peeve). There were marshmallows. It was a fun time, but the type of fun time that necessitates buying a 6-pack on the way home.

October & Spotz were (sometimes reluctant, but very talented) cheerleaders. Wingnut slept through a good 3/5 of the action. MastaG…well, I’m not sure, but we managed to find him at the end of the night, so that’s good. Lugnut opted out of the game and instead joined AT & Pigpen for a night of fun (thanks again, AT).

‘Night, folks.

Pigpen and Lugnut

Lugnut: (push)

Pigpen: “Noooo, Lugnut, don’t push that button, its my button.”

Lugnut: “Why?”

Pigpen: “Because I can do it.”

Lugnut: (push push)

OK, if you’re on a feedreader right now, and you didn’t get this post, that means that somethings broken.
