Vent away.
Ah, yes, the joy of all of the wonderful new tools that allow anyone to do fabulous things on the ‘Net with no previous experience because they are so simple and self-explanatory. Been there, done that – too often to be good for my blood pressure. Makes you wonder who in hell writes the glowing reviews.
I have half a dozen books that feature simple and easy CMS, until you actually use them and find that one on the little bits that turns out to be crucial, is no longer supported, or has been altered to the point of being useless.
Sounds like a normal product development cycle, i.e. almost done and then it breaks on something that should be rock solid, and fixes that breaks something else.
It all looked so simple and straight forward in school, and then you discover the real reason for the choice of programming projects – they are the only things that actually work in the stupid language.

We still haven’t finished dealing with hurricane Ivan from 2004. Inertia is the one thing that is consistent in all governments worldwide.
One of the more annoying things that democracies do after a disaster is to start suspecting victims of freeloading. The representatives of areas that were not affected wait a bit and then start questioning how much aid should be given, and to whom. It doesn’t occur to them that their area might need help from other people one day, and what goes around, comes around.
The truly annoying part is that, given the state of everyone’s economy, now would be a great time to do the rebuilding to generate jobs and move some product. This is the sort of feel-good stimulus that should be a natural, but no one gets it, in Australia, or the US.
We have lost tens of thousands of jobs in the construction industry, but no one is trying to push the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast. The longer it has been, the worst the maze to get money to people, and the maze is eating up the cash.
The preview is a separate chunk of code that works withing the current page and does access the database. The spam plug-in doesn’t do anything until the database is accessed. I wonder if the proxy is what gives things fits, because both the old and new system seem to pick on you, and you alone.

2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission – Interim Report
ABC Science Special – Bushfire Recovery and News
Marysville is still suffering and it’s personally sad for me to see one of my favorite places in the World destroyed, but even worse too see that little has been done to rebuild and help those who suffered. Petty politics once again rears it’s ugly heads.
Marysville residents slam council over rebuild
Same old, same old… and so it goes.
It’s going to get worse.
