I just upgraded this blog from WP-1.5.2 to WP-2.0.1. There were only a couple of snags - one when the server disconnected me in the middle of the 2.0.1 files being uploaded, nothing major, and also there were some files which I could not overwrite, delete, or rename, so I had to rename their containing folders. But overall, that was slick.

Now I must reactivate some plugins, hoping that they still work with WP2.

just look at her…these are a couple weeks ago, about the time she turned 18 months….

MAD love.

I’m chillin on the couch, geekin out. I had a fairly good week at work, and it’s Friday/very early Saturday right now.

The weather is supposed to be fantastic tomorrow. 50s, sunny, gorgeous Bend weather after surviving the winter. Jeannie and I are taking Delaney to the park tomorrow, and possibly Nana’s (my mom) after that. Nana has a park of her own in her backyard.

Delaney is way too smart for her own good. She sings the alphabet song now. it’s kind of like, a, b , b, b, m, x, w, w, w, s, b, b, lmno for the time being, but it shows much promise. I’d bet she’ll be reading at age 3 if not before.

I so totally love my life. I have an awesome wife, who has given me an awesome daughter. Life is good good good.

You should hear delaney and her letters. W is double-doo, double-doo….my lord it is cute. She loves W. the letter, not the tool running the free world. Sam and Taylor, I hope our children get to play together at the Counrty Fair or something. I’m sure they’d get along nicely.

Lovey lovey lovey. That’s where I am right now. Hagen is passed the fuck out on the couch next to me. And I’d swear I drank more than him. But whatever….

and all my readers, frantically checking their live bookmarks for new posts. yeah.

So, I took a couple of days off of work this week, but not by choice. I was lucky enough to catch a nasty stomach flu bug that took me down for Monday and Tuesday. Nothing like going 100mph then hitting a wall and being completely out of it for two days. weak.

My blog/podcasting project at work is going quite nicely, thanks to Jake. Nothing like a nice linux webserver on a fat pipe with someone local to talk to if anything springs up. The next wave of it will spring up next week, with a site that will actually have something cool to blog/podcast about. Our first episode is live coverage of/participation in the big ‘ol public pillow fight in SF. We got some good footage, and we’re working with a good company down there to help us produce it. I like working on video projects a great deal - in fact I think that’s my favorite part of my job.

We had a wicked cold spell in Bend last week, but thankfully we’re back up in the 40s-50s already. So much easier to deal with. At least it looks nice through the office window.

New in Eastside Bend Safeway…

Sierra Nevada IPA!

Word. A classic NW IPA. Thick and meaty, it won’t let you down. It has a smoky, full taste, and won’t leave you hangin’. An IPA in the classic sense, where the malt character doesn’t everwhelm the hops.

Pick one up if you get the chance. Kelly green packaging, sick, sick, sick.
