I greatly dislike upgrading...

Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:39

BBPixel offers a great bridge between Joomla and vBulletin...in fact I'd much rather spoon out my eyeballs... but these days it all seems to be part and par of running a CMS or forum... basically anything you run on your own server. I use to enjoy the upgrades as more often than not they would come with new twiddly bits to explore but these days the twiddly bits come a little thinner on the ground and mostly the upgrade is forced due to security issues and they are packaged with bug fixes... it all becomes pretty ho hum, the stress is still there but instead of twiddle excitement with a view to do some serious plonking the end result is either pure relief (that for a change) it went ok or a flat out panic attack trying to work out what went wrong and at which point... peace and harmony © Mazeguy is required at all times... it's a dang shame I lack both © Mazeguy

I have to say that these days it's a tad less stressful due to our switch from dialup to broadband so everything uploads to the server a lot faster, vital for stress levels because as I tap away doing this, out the corner of my eye I'm watching WS FTP Pro chugging its way through the latest vBulletin release v3.6.0 (from v3.5.4...I missed, on purpose the upgrade to 3.5.5) which just tops 9 MB, once that is complete I need to upgrade our BBPixel jvbPlugin upgrade version for vBulletin 3.6 and Joomla v1.0.10. BBPixel is a godsend... it's made my life so much easier... bless their wee cotton socks for providing the service they do and the bridge that ties together the Joomla and vBulletin login, members list etc © Mazeguy

I'm not old...

... but I'm not exactly young either © Mazeguy Despite having two teenage daughters I really do struggle to keep up with what's hot and what's not, my girls are very patient and tolerant, I often get the typical eyeball roll but what follows shortly after is a very basic step by step explaination of what's cool (or not) and why... it's odd that they speak slowly when they talk to me though © Mazeguy

For me, it's not that I'm reluctant to learn, or try to understand what are they are all on about, it's just that most of the time I really don't get it.... the whole mouth grillz thing that some have going on at the moment..... omg what the feck is that meant to be... do ppl know how bizarre that looks? © Mazeguy It's just plain creepy © Mazeguy

When I was younger I'm sure I used to streak around the place like a chook with my head in a marmalade jar but these days I tend to follow my own path and I just amble along... because of this, many things can and do pass me by... "bling" was one such thing that escaped me, for the longest time I'd been hearing ppl talk about "bling"... it was bling this, bling that, bling, bling, bling.. finally I got filled in with regard to what it was and meant... what a relief.. I was now one word down

Noun: bling
1. Ostentatious jewellery; more loosely applied to clothing and lifestyle, or a set of modern values that encompass playing hard, looking good and having the best of everything [WordWeb.info]

Then just the other day I was cruising around the place and I spotted a link to blingyblob.com...
