As you may recall, I have been on the grizzly for the last two weeks or so. I was in Chicago, Champaign, Pittsburgh, and now sunny ol' New Haven. The drive was boring and long, but along the way I got to see some of my favorite people and do what I love best, podcast!
My welcome home was just plain super. I woke up yesterday morning to find my front passenger window busted out, console/glovebox riffled, and iPod stolen. Have you ever cleaned up safety glass? It just crumbles in your hands, takes forever. It wasn't even on the street, it was in my driveway! Add to this the whole corp card debacle and things are looking mighty shiny for the kid.
Oh, and while I was in Pittsburgh, I stupidly upgraded to WP 2.8. As a result, I lost the advanced navigation features on the blog (which Nick is actually pumped about). I got the blog working though. Then last night everything went pear shaped again, so I contacted dreamhost's support and asked if we could downgrade to 2.7.1. Well, they did - by restoring a backup from like 7 months ago - not what I wanted. So after some downloading/web searchery/hackery/etc I was able to get the site working again. No thanks are necessary, just your everlasting gratitude. That is the last time I upgrade WP just because it tells me to.
But I ain't whining. I'm going to Barcelona/Athens/Paris next month, and shortly thereafter will be moving to NYC. Things are actually pretty effin' awesome.
OMG! Sorry that your car got broken into. That sucks!!!!!!
Man, I hate WordPress upgrades. They're awesome but also pain-in-the-ass-ish. Thanks for taking care of all that.
Gone so shortly and bad mojo befalls you so quickly. Don't you miss Peoria? Just another reason to get rid of the car now. Do you feel violated? Barcelona/Athens/Paris? Wear a condom. Maybe 2. Don't worry, I'm sure they make training rubbers small enough. BTW thanks for the ipod! ;) We all miss you, well except for Ryan who after reading your itinerary cursed quite loudly.
haha, you're welcome! and yes, i cannot wait to ditch the car.
yeah, i bet he's a bit miffed. but, i'm meeting up with my parents for the paris part and he just went to all those places. so you know, that will be 75% aggro anyway.
oh - and NYC real estate is a serious reality check. the prospect of paying upwards of $1k for a 8x11 room is just nuts. its cool though, because nothing beats have a subway system!
