No, I’m not talking about my age (sadly, I’m the big 3-0). I’m talking about blogging. I just realized that I was at 19 posts since I started blogging again on February 7. So I decided to post this one to round it off to twenty.
I haven’t decided if I’m going to do this “milestone post” on a regular basis. I guess that depends on if I have anything to say after my 29th post, or 49th post, etc. I suppose for that matter I could just start posting “milestones” at any point, such as “This Is My 32nd Post”, but I don’t see any rhyme or reason to that — unless, of course, you consider that 32 is a power of 2. Hmmm. I could have a decimal milestone post AND a binary milestone post!
Don’t even get me started on base 3! Or prime numbers!! That would be really fun!
I’m getting kind of excited over here! I might actually have some serious amount of blog content pretty soon at this rate.
So I was upgrading this site from Community Server RC3 to 1.0 tonight. No database changes were needed — just a file copy. No problem, right?
Wrong!
I forgot that I had modified the skin that I’m using to be more like what I wanted. Even worse, I forgot that there was an unmodified version of this skin included in the CS install. So, I overwrote all of my skin changes.
Sigh.
I think I’ve mostly got it back to how it was earlier today, and I’m making my changes in a new skin directory so that I don’t do this again. If something doesn’t look right to you, let me know.
I found BlogMap by accident, but thought it was pretty fun. So I added it to my left navigation.
If you register your blog here, the link they give you shows a map of bloggers that are in your area. It’s using MapPoint technology (the map image says “Evaluation”), and it’s a pretty interesting use of the technology. I’ve yet to decide if there is a real benefit to this, but I thought it was cool anyway. 🙂
This video is pretty awesome! It’s several minutes long (maybe 10 minutes?), but well worth it. If you’re on a slow connection you should probably download the file instead of streaming it. Do this by right-clicking on the link and choosing “Save Target As…”.
Thanks to Karie (my sister) and Dennis for sending this to me.
I have decided that I have a new favorite Pop Tart! The Chocolate Chip Pop Tart is delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Buy me a box for President’s Day… or St Patrick’s Day… As a matter of fact, I would appreciate it if I got a box of these every week.
The vending maching at work has had them (I think I ate them all). I had never tried that kind, but didn’t know what I was missing out on. I’m working in Illinois the next couple days and really have a craving. I might have to make a trip to the local grocery store…
One of the benefits of working for a bank is that I am off tomorrow. (Woo hoo!)
Of course, I’ll probably still spend much of the day at my keyboard…
I think I’m a lost cause.
…47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq.
There are a few interesting, less-than-publicized facts about the current state of things in Iraq on the Lead21 site, here: Why Don’t We Hear About This?
This is my first official post to this site using my new e-mail to blog program that I wrote. It’s also the first blog posting I’ve done in several months.
Over the next few weeks I will attempt to bulk load all of my previous posts into this new system. It shouldn’t be a big deal, but we’ll see how that goes.
In the meantime, just read this post again and again.
