Sorry for the prolonged downtime, I’m not sure what happened but I basically have had to reinstall Wordpress from scratch so it will be a couple of days while I sort things out.

Water cooled t-shirt. I wish I had one of these with the summer coming up. Now you can water cool everything!
Excellent list of statistics on what’s happening in the world right now! Just something that is really, really cool to watch and hey, you might learn something!
Workers said they thought they were just making colorful flags and did not realize their meaning. But then some of them saw TV images of protesters holding the emblem and they alerted the authorities, according to Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper. (Shows how well things are kept under wraps over there). Seriously what else can you add to that? You have to love the Human species.
Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men’s penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft. Apparently things are jumping out in the Congo so watch out!
I can haz dream job? Nothing really to add here . . .
I upgraded to the latest and greatest version of Wordpress, version 2.5 if your keeping track, it has taken me severl ahour to get back up as I as in a hurry and didnt take the tiem to back up files, etc. that the install notes recommend. I guess this goes to show that no matter how long you’ve been working with software there are always things that can go wrong.
There are way to many features to mention and truthfully Mat does a much better job explaining the new shininess in his blog post over at the wordpress Development Blog. Matt also announced that the 2.5 branch is nicknamed “Brecker”. “This is in honor of Michael Brecker, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.”

I want to give a big shout out to Robbie and to say way to go on getting on Lifehacker and Digg! 
I have access to quite a few license codes if anyone wishes to help test the Windows Beta of Mojo. Just leave a comment and I will see what I can do for you.
I’m heading to Clarksville, Tennessee (its on the outskirts of Nashville BTW) later today to visit my good friends Andy and Crystal for a going away party for Andy. He is preparing to be shipped out to Afghanistan by the US Army in a few weeks and he is expected to be deployed anywhere from 16 to 18 months. He should be ok over there as his analyst duties should keep him on base most of the time, I hope they do as he and Crystal recently had a baby boy Darien.
I’ll have picture and whatnot up on my Flickr account after the trip if your curious about how it goes. I wish the trip as longer but I could only get today off from work so I’ll be back on the phones at SAVVIS on Monday, such is life I suppose. Everyone take care and have a great weekend!
