Man, this really sucks. Now, I’m usually not the one to jump on the train right away anyway, so it’s basically not the biggest deal, but slowly I’m getting annoyed. Why? Because I ordered a WinXP license with an upgrade coupon back in december when I built my new pc. So far so good. I then sent the upgrade coupon to Modus Link (the company handling the upgrades). That was in the first week of January. Since then I’m waiting and waiting and waiting…
Today, I checked the status again and the upgrade claim has finally been approved. Well, that’s the first step, but the thing still isn’t shipped yet. Are you kidding me? Three months and you’re unable to send me a dvd with a license sticker? Hello?! Absolutely ridiculous! The only upside: by the time I receive my copy I can be absolutely sure that there are drivers for everything in my pc and on a funny note: maybe SP1 will be already out by then ;)
After waiting and waiting and waiting on someone to have a look at my post on the WordPress support forums – without any luck – I decided trying again, finding the culprit that was causing the posts to be empty that is, not to post on the forums again.
In the end, I did nothing more or less than what I did right after the move. I don’t know why it is, but as you can see, it worked…although it didn’t work last time…hmm…weird stuff there…and although I can’t exactly figure out what went wrong here, I’m glad that everything seems to be working again.
…which brings me to the WordPress support forums: No offence guys, but my experience (granted that I tried/needed them for the first time in, well, something like 3 years) was horrible. No responses, no hints, no questions, nothing and it’s not that I didn’t try to provide as much info as I could on my problem…this is really disappointing, but hey…’s all good, I know how forums work, it’s all based on voluntary basis and well, if it’s on volunatary basis (aka you don’t pay anything for it), you can’t/shouldn’t complain if you don’t get anything out of it. So, no offence when I say: I just know that next time I run into a problem with WordPress again, I won’t even bother posting in the “troubleshooting” area, as it’s a complete waste of not worth my time…or as the orangutan from Doctor Doolittle would say: “Gracias por nada”
Well, it was time to move to a bigger server (more ram, better cpu, etc)…so it seems that everything worked out nicely, apart from the fact that all posts are displayed empty. They are in fact not empty (all the post text is in the db), but for some reason that isn’t displayed..hmm…I guess I’ll have to go bug hunting/forum searching…
Well, recently I spent quite some time catching up with new and old tv series. Roseanne was a real flashback…I can still laugh out loud when I see that one. Some of the old series I enjoyed for a long time are still running, so I have to follow these, namely emergency room, gilmore girls, smallville, las vegas and 7th heaven. Now I added some new ones to my every groing “need to watch” list:
1. NBC’s heroes – I absolutely love this one, I just can’t get enough, I’m really looking forward to every single episode, it’s just so thrilling.
2. Are you smarter than a 5th grader – rofl. This concept is so funny (and embarrassing for the candidates)!!!
3. COPS – how could I miss this all this time?!
4. American Chopper – always entertaining, I just love the custom bikes…
5. Poker After Dark (I don’t need to get too deep into this one and the following one, you can always checkout my pokerblog for more on poker)
6. High Stakes Poker – so addictive.
…and by just looking at that list of stuff I realize, I watch too much TV ;)
