Rottweilers. Computers. Cameras. World Domination. Not necessarily in that order.

I’m guest blogging over at Rodney Lee’s Midlife Crisis Hawaii today! Go and see, as I talk about a long-ago time when I thought I was going to grow up to be a journalist.
If you’re of a certain age (as in old enough to vote and/or drink in the ’70s) and if you ever lived in Hawaii, go and check out Rodney’s blog. Even if you aren’t as old as dirt and never came closer to Hawaii than watching “Hawaii 5-0” – go and check it out!

I apparently spoke too soon when I said that WordPress was back to normal. I’ve had some ongoing problems with 3.1.1 and some plugin or combination of plugins. I’m still not entirely sure what the magic combination is, but I think that this time, things are really, finally, back to normal.
I’ve still been trying to keep my April NaBloPoMo going offline, so you will be seeing back posts appearing as I transfer them over.

The latest WordPress upgrade to 3.1.1 is the first time I’ve ever had any problems updating, so it really took me by surprise. On the scale of bad technology moments, it was still pretty low (maybe 2 out of 10). I had two very recent backups of both database and files, one at work and one at home. I ended up not needing either one.
What happened is that all of my admin functions slowed to a crawl. The site itself was loading fine for viewers. But it took forever to publish a post, open a post for editing… or to do anything at all. After googling to see whether anyone else was having similar problems, I disabled all of the plugins and re-updated. Everything was back to normal speed, so I started adding back plugins one by one. When I got to the last one, I added it back to verify that it was the culprit. It wasn’t. Everything was still back to normal speed. It still is. So I guess I’ll never really know for sure what the problem was.

I’m thinking about using Joomla! 1.6 for a major reboot of a website I maintain. So I’ve been wrestling with it all night. I just popped over here to make my daily post, and I see that WordPress 3.1.1 is waiting for me.
I’ve been a little lax about updates and stuff, so I’m going to make this short and take care of my updates and scans and backups and such before heading off to bed. Good night, and hope with me that I don’t break anything!

Foolish doesn’t even begin to cover it, but I’ve decided to take another shot at NaBloPoMo and post something every day in April. I’ve got a lot going on this month, and I hope that will translate into “lots of things to write about” rather than “not having time to write.” So you can look forward to reading about the Rottweiler Klub of North America, Total Rottweiler Magazine (and if you are a Rottweiler owner, I’d like to think that you are not only reading about TTRM, but that you are reading it), Susan Garrett’s 5 Minute Formula to a Brilliant Recall, and Kent Weakley’s Photography eClasses.
See you all month!
