Writings, issues and observations from Cleveland, Ohio by Will Kessel

Finally. WordPress 1.5.2 installed on the Bend.

I haven’t upgraded for a while for a number of reasons: the new job (which now isn’t) took a lot of my time; school took a bunch of time as well; general life gets in the way (I don’t necessarily want to sit in front of a computer monitor for 16 hours a day); and the last upgrade (from 1.0.1 to 1.2.2) borked my entire site.

Not this time. Smooth as silk.

And I like this new version of WordPress. It handles plugins better. It’s faster. It’s more secure. It’s better at blocking SPAM (which I know will piss off a couple of folks who love to SPAM this site. AWWWWW!).

It has more gadgets and gizmos, and I like gadgets and gizmos. And yet it’s all familiar. Nice.

I upgraded another thing today: I refenestrated my house. It’s a little warmer in here now, also a little quieter. I hope it helps lower my heating bills. I’ve already lowered them some 45%, but that wasn’t too hard considering the bonehead that owned the place before us…

Another upgrade on the horizon: CB v3.0 is on the way, hopefully to be released before the New Year. Jello City. Won’t look too much different, but will be a little better for those of you on large screens (1600 pixels and larger).

And yet another upgrade in the works: I’m planning my office makeover. Woo-hoo!
