EoTD: Getting My Geek On

I’ve spent all day yesterday, and will spend most of today, fighting with software. The product I use to power this site - and my other 10 sites, business and personal - released a major upgrade, rewriting the program from scratch. This means that it will work better, but it also means that after I performed the backup and upgrade, I had to reinstall and reconfigure all my plugins, troubleshoot why half my sites weren’t working at all, get those working, fuss with the new software (which has been dramatically reorganized) and figure out where things were hidden now, and triplecheck to make sure everything was working. And once that was done, I started working on my “hobby” sites…like this one. The photo-gallery module has been removed (apparently because there wasn’t a whole lot of demand for it) and so now everyone who had used that module extensively is either staying with the old version of the software, or scrambling to find workarounds. I’ve been working to make the gallery-links into simple popup windows with the larger images (have to manually edit Every. Single. Entry. Ugh!!) but I kind of liked the convenience of having all my colors organized and displayed. Maybe I’ll install Coppermine…

I spend the rest of the day troubleshooting software, tweaking the site (it may go down or start acting wonky…in fact, Beauty Blogs’ Backstage is already a bit borked, after the last major server tweak on Friday evening), wearing my warpaint. (Rather subdued as far as warpaint goes…but that’s me.)
