Tempting Fate

by Bryan

Since this is a rest day for Le Tour, and a nasty thunderstorm has eliminated any hope of getting the site preparation for Ringo’s outside enclosure, I’m in the middle of a major upgrade of the WordPress software that powers this site.

Currently I’m running version 3.14 and I’m upgrading to 3.41. I have been stalling this upgrade because I had to make changes to my host platform to accommodate the newer versions of WordPress. I don’t change things until I see things stabilize unless there are urgent security reasons for doing it.

If everything fails, I will be over at the Why Now annex – http://whynowannex.wordpress.com/ and will throw up a redirection link at this location.

I would note that another reason for stalling is getting the new machine up and running so I can do this over a wired connection, instead of wireless. I’ve never had a problem with my wireless, but why take a chance?

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett

Commenting

The opinions expressed in Comments are those of the individuals making them. Truly absurd comments and opinions are subject to being cruelly mocked, but "flame wars" will take place on someone else's dime.

Your first comment, all comments with extensive links, and random comments that the software decides it doesn't like for no discernible reason will be held for moderation.

[Be aware that for unknown reasons the software rejects comments shorter than 15 characters, so if you want to leave a short comment fill the gap with periods ........]
