Relient K – Five score and Seven years ago

Everytime I listen to this CD, I want to call someone over to my desk, or IM somebody and tell them how great this CD is. It’s probably one of the most-oft played CDs in my iTunes collection. The music is tight and toe-tapping good. The guitars are solid, the vocals are harmonious and totally accompaniable (clearly, not a word).

Anyway, if you’ve never heard this CD, go check it out and purchase it immediately.

A few other things of interest, I’m excited about the new WordPress 2.5 coming out hopefully soon. I hope to install the beta when I get a free moment!

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? Then WordPress 2.5 might be the release for you. It’s been in the oven for a while, and we’re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.

Also, to alleviate my anger with our current hosting server, as well as others complaints of slowness and general slothery, I have signed up for a newer, faster, more modern server at a different hosting provider. Running Fedora 7 on a gig of ram and a comparable processor, with 80 GB of local storage and quite a lot more bandwidth allowed per month, we should soon be in good shape.

I will move my site over first to see what all the issues are with moving database-driven sites that depend on various external components. Once I get the kinks ironed out, I’ll be contacting folks individiually to work with them on relocating their files, domains, sites, etc. It’s going to be a lot of work but ultimately it will be totally worth it.

In the meantime, for my site alone, I installed MySQL server on my PC at work (which is always on) and made it accessable through my SSH tunnel that I maintain between the PC and the server. Then I backedup and restored my database from the server to my PC and configured my gallery2 and wordpress installs to point there for their database tables. It’s totally faster and works great. I’d move everybody over but I don’t want to then depend on my PC too heavily! Clearly the server has a hard time keeping up with MySQL requests.

Finally, Jackson weighs at almost 3 weeks, what Jaden weighed at 2 months or so. Jackson eats a lot more than Jaden did, spits far less, and is overall less grumpy as a baby. Updated pictures of Jaden and Jackson are online!
