New year, new look

Notice anything different? I decided to jazz up my attitude with a new theme to go with the new version of WordPress. I still haven’t decided if I like this better than my ghost child, but I’m going to leave it in place for awhile and see how I feel about it in [...]

4 years

Four years ago today, I wrote my first post on this site.  I was in a phase of rebirth then; newly diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder, entering menopause,  my oldest moving away after college graduation,  my 2nd child going off to college and my youngest starting high school.  A lot of things have changed since then.
It’s [...]

A brand new look

Since I can’t focus to get any work done this afternoon, I decided to test drive Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.7. Anyone else tried it yet?
This is seriously going to take some getting used to. The user interface is completely different and I still haven’t found all the things that [...]

It’s got to be the psych papers - or not?

Typealyzer is another analytical blog site, this time guessing what your personality assessment is based on your writing style. ISIP came out:

I’ve attacked school with the same fanaticism I tend [...]

I’m such an addict

Twitter has been down most of the day. I’ve gotten used to “listening” to it while I work or study and posting the occasional sentence about the day’s assignment, and now it’s all quiet. I feel as lost as I did during the week my web host went down and took my blog with [...]

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!

Zip on over to Parts-n-Pieces and wish Billie a happy birthday! Teacher, mother, PhD candidate, photographer, blogger, friend — she’s all those things. Billie, hope you have a great one!

You’ve been Rickrolled

This would have been funnier if I’d remembered to post it Tuesday, but now you, too, can be a witness to one of the greatest memes of all time. Rickrolling.

Upgrading

One good thing about not sleeping is the amount of things I can get done, including things I usually stress over and avoid. Upgrading WordPress is like that. I’ve been test driving the 2.5 release candidates on my shadow site for a couple of weeks with no problems, so when the official stable [...]
