So I think we're fairly fixed now. I think. Basically, this is how it broke:

  • I decided to upgrade to the new version of the software that powers this website.
  • I forgot that I had added lots of plugins to make this site work the way it does, and that uploading overwrites the contents of a folder.
  • I overwrote the contents of the plugins folder.
  • I loaded up the software.
  • Woe.

This is how I fixed it:

  • I didn't really do anything for a week.
  • Then I just put waffle up in square boxes and played with font-sizes.
  • I found out that if you go to Ray's to use the supposedly free wi-fi they have, they don't. But the coffee is still fantastic so it's not like you wasted the journey.
  • I reuploaded everything, uploaded some new stuff, copied and pasted some database entries, had a little nap.
  • I copied and pasted some templates. I drank some tea. I copied and pasted some templates. I drank some more tea. I copied and pasted some templates the wrong way and had to go back to go.
  • I played God of War for a bit, and found that it's a bit like dance dance revolution with a bit more gore.
  • I found out that the software has a search and replace feature inside of templates. I cried a bit.
  • I copied and pasted some templates at a much improved rate.
  • I wrote this.
  • I got distracted by some bananas.
  • I pressed save.

One person felt they had something to say.

Bananas always interrupt coding in my experience.

I'm hoping that now I'm a third year computer scientist we'll get taught the proper way of avoiding them.

I'll pass on the secret if they teach us.

Where You Take Part

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

All the views expressed here are opinions of whoever wrote them. They also are copyrighted to you under law. However, because you're nice by commenting on this you agree to have your views licensed under whatever creative commons licence this website is.

Spam will be deleted and anyone caught doing it will be black-listed.

If you click 'remember personal information' your details will be stored in a cookie on your computer and you'll never see this message again. Hooray!

These html tags are cool: b, i, u, s, del, ins, em, strong, sup, sub, a href and blockquote. You can get away with some images.
