So I upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and now my images dont show up.
No one seems to know exactly why. Fun.
Excuse the lack of images. Will get that fixed as soon as I can. (Edit: I should say, I am going to ask the lovely, smart people at Dreamhost to fix the problem. They are my Tech-Knights in Shining Armor. /swoon)
(Edit #2, the Wordpress upgrade renamed one of my folders, which is why the pictures aren’t working. Now I need to figure out how to fix it so I dont have to go and manually fix every single image.)
(Edit #3, work around fixed. Images back up. Thanks soooo much Dreamhost techies!)
Some people have fancy cars or big houses, some have fine clothes and jewelry, but when we have company over, my point of pride is always our game closet.
I have this pattern with guests and it goes something like this: welcome welcome, greeting at the door, rush through living area, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom, and then finally our game closet! When I open the door, I envision a choir of angels singing, the clouds parting and rays of light illuminating the fabulousness that is the game closet. (Note to self: figure out way to hook up audio and lights to game closet door.) (more…)
Last month I had the brilliant (ridiculously overambitious?) idea that I would try and review a bunch of my DS games. For some reason I didn’t find magical extra time to cram through more then a few of the games and thus DS Review month is extended, indefinitely.
I say indefinitely because I am fairly sure that by the time I get through my bag of old DS games I will have acquired more.
Actually I am rather interested in getting through some more of them as I am hoping to finally get to some better games. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to get stuck with such crappy games.
I just slept twenty two hours out of the last thirty six. It is incredible how much I can not get done while I’m sleeping. To make matters worse I was exhausted for the twelve hours I was awake. Hell I’m exhausted now, which means I should probably be sleeping. UGH.
It almost feels like my inner seventeen year old has reared its ugly head. I sleep all the time and am incredibly moody when I’m awake. To say I was happy to leave that whole thing behind is a rather large understatement.
Hopefully I can sleep my way back to my current age. =P
One of the perks of running TFG.com myself, is that I get to see all sorts of fascinating information about who visits the site. Oh nothing incriminating like credit card numbers, street addresses, or porn viewing history. Its mostly just statistics about where people are from, how many views each post garners, and so forth.
The section, “Last Search Terms”, logs when people reach the site via a search engine. It also logs what their search criteria was. How people find there way here is incredibly intriguing, often also hilarious, strangely off topic, or confusing. (more…)
The whole clearing out my DS games was incredible long overdue. Going through them I noticed games from back in the day (eons ago!) when the DS first came out. YES, all the way back in 2004. Just don’t be surprised if one of the reviews is six years past due.
Turns out I have accumulated over sixty DS games in the past six years. That is only ten a year, not unreasonable. I took out a few of my husbands and a few I had already reviewed and paired it down to fifty. Still way too many to review this month.
Scribblenauts was a natural first choice as I had just finished playing it. That still left me with fourty-nine to pick from.
The only solution I could come up with that would significantly cut down on the time I would spend agonizing over deciding, was to throw them all in a bag and let randomness decide, ala scrabble Carcassonne =D
So I installed a new Plugin called, Broken Link Checker. I figured it would be a good idea, for surely none of my links were broken anyway, and it can’t hurt to check, right?
Since I have installed it, I have spent more time fixing broken links then I have playing video games. Go Figure.
It would of course be fabulous if the plugin was perfect, but its not. Any sort of connection interference and it will flag perfectly good links as broken, which means I have to monitor it very closely. At this rate I might just turn it off.
So if you see a link that is crossed out, it is my handy dandy link checker at work. Is the link broken? Who knows, but clearly I haven’t gotten around to fixing it.
One objective of mine, when I move, has always been to purge as much stuff as possible. As it seems to accumulate faster than I can find room for it, I have to preempt whenever I can.
My latest project, regarding the whole moving into our new place, is going through all the games, specifically the DS games. Turns out we have quite a few that are clearly just taking up space. Purge time!
The plan for this month is to write as many mini reviews of my stack of DS games as I can. I’m certain there are more than enough to keep me busy. Plus once I have reviewed them I will have no more excuses to hold on to them.
Its hard for me to believe that its already been over a month since my last WoW Rant. This whole moving my entire life from one house to the new one has taken up much more free time than I expected, but then most things take far longer than I expect. =P
That plus raiding four nights a week and my goal of reading one hundred books this year have left me bereft of almost all my spare time.
