- As another week ends and a new one begins, I find that my weekend was absorbed with work. Again. Some unexpected outages and a planned outage wound up taking up most of my time yesterday. For some strange reason, the last two weeks have been full of too much work. Today was delightfully uncomplicated by work, but I still had a conference call to take care of this afternoon. Once that was done, the CrackBerry was silent for most of the day. For that, I am most appreciative.
- The new grill cover for my Weber is (finally) on its way from Amazon. I need to plan a large end-of-summer cookout, so look for that to happen soon.
- I am finally done with the work on my nephew’s laptop. I had to rebuild his laptop based on his hard drive going bad. Fortunately, when I bought the laptop I bought the three-year warranty for parts. Thus, his hard drive was replaced for free. I spent most of the week reinstalling programs and such. His AC adapter was also malfunctioning, and I also am getting a replacement part shipped out for that. I have a new found appreciation for the online chat for Dell Technical Support. It makes getting replacement parts so much easier.
- I updated the blog (and some other blogs) to WordPress 2.6. All is well on that front, and there are some nice management tweaks that have been done. Take a look at “Plugins” compared to WordPress 2.5.x.

#1: Ditto on the Dell chat thing.
#2: Have you tried the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin? I tried it for the upgrade to 2.6 and it worked like a champ. Just made it hassle free.

Thank you for the update. In exchange, I promise to not steal or maul your new grill cover when it arrives.

@mokiejovis: I thought about that, but the dork in me enjoys a quick sftp session. I presume I could get super-dokry and just use some scp commands, but my associates probably don’t know if they have SSH access to their host (which is fun).
@Carol: Indeed, you should be grateful.
