Where my thoughts on life, the universe and everything trickle onto the internet…
I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.8. I tried the ‘Upgrade Automatically’ button, but guess what, it failed 
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip Unpacking the core update Could not copy file: /wordpress/wp-content/upgrade/core/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php Installation Failed
So I had to do it manually… At least everything appears to be working now, if you notice any problems, then please let me know.
Apparently my site has been suffering with some downtime lately, this has now been tracked down to a problem on one of my hosts servers, they have now moved my site to a new server and DNSÂ should finalise by 3rd June.
Just got back from a great weekend in Bournemouth. Saturday afternoon was spent quad biking and clay pigeon shooting (which I haven’t done before). As I was part of the dual activity group I lent my camera to Andy. Here are a few photos from the quad biking session.
The Windows Home Server Team have Announced Power Pack 2. Allegedly, starting today, Power Pack 2 is to be made available via Windows Update. I’ll be checking out my home server this evening, when I get home and keep you posted.
I’m guessing (and hoping) that PP2 will be able to correctly detect a Windows 7 client.
Edit: Yes it does recognise Windows 7 as a client 
Julie and I have just spent the weekend in Hambleton, for Margret and Tony Knox’s Golden Wedding Aniversary, we had a great weekend and as usual I took loads of photo’s. Here are a selection.
A couple of friends and myself have just gotten back from a good weeks skiing in the 3 Valleys. We stayed in the Residence Les Sentiers Du Tueda in Meribel-Mottaret. Here are a few photo’s that were taken during the week. Mostly the holiday consisted of skiing, eating lasagna and drinking beer. With the odd game of Uno and Pass the Pigs.
So when did you celerbrate the start of 2009? Did you remember to add a leap second last year? If this all sounds like gibberish to you, then take a read here.
Update
And I bet you all thought that this wouldn’t really matter, but no, it’s just like the Y2K thing all over again. Oracle have been caught by it and even Microsoft Zune’s.
Well Wordpress 2.7 has been released, so I have performed the upgrade, along with grabbing the latest nightly build of K2. According to the K2 blog everything should be ok.
Saw this on TV yesterday (yes, that’s right in the UK we get the Halloween special a week late ) Anyway, it made me chuckle. So I thought I would share it. However, I better add a disclaimer first. The views expressed here are entirely my own and not those of my employer.
You may have already seen that Microsoft have released there first beta of Windows Vista SP2, as it was reported on several sites yesterday, one of my favorities is Rafael’s Within Windows blog. So you’ve probably already heard that there’s nothing much in there and it’s just a collection of previous fixes, albeit about a 290MB collection. Well standback and prepare to be flabagasted, because on x64 Vista Ultimate, that colection grows to about 490MB, it must be all those 64bit pointers
