Stuff I Do

There has been a link at the top of the admin page of this site for a little while. I run it on WordPress and it is telling me there is an upgrade available. Usually this means I pull down the tar ball, unpack it and usually overwrite some file I really wanted to keep. By the time I get to the last site that I manage it usually goes much smoother but about an hour of my life is gone. So tonight I see that it had a button that said upgrade automatically. After doing a quick upgrade, I clicked the button. Moments later, it says it is completed and check the site and everything is cool.

This is nice!

UPDATE
Apparently this is the only site that will upgrade automatically. It failed on all the others. {sigh}

I have never really done much with PHP. I do very little coding and when I do it has always been a Microsoft centric language. For whatever reason, it can’t be boredom I have too much to be doing, this weekend I started fiddling around with PHP. I am actually working through a PHP tutorial so I actually learn the correct ways to use the language instead of just mashing things together like I have done in the past.

Not sure if it is the procedure or the documentation that I am using but it seems to be a very easy language with incredible power available to use. At this point I have only worked through operators, arrays and loops but I have been impressed with the little bit that I have done with it. I am curious once I get to the point of pulling data from a MySQL database and that should be fun.

I have no idea what I am going to do with this knowledge, we use ASP and ASP.net at work.
