“The work force reduction notification is currently in progress,” the notice stated. “Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated.”
That's just fantastic. Radio Shack is firing via email. Guess it's slightly better than being fired by texting.

Well, LJXP isn't working for me right now. It's either (a) something with my GoDaddy host that I'm not allowed to do; (b) something I've got messed up with my WordPress install; (c) computers hate me; or (d) some combination of the above.

That's ok though - I've got a satisfactory kludge to meet my [...]

One more time. Even with the error, it seemed to work, at least a couple of times. Let's see what happens this time. After this, I give up for a while. Probably.

Ok… it's not crossposting. But it did twice…. arrrgghhhh. I dunno.

Well, I don't think I'm going to be getting the LJXP plugin working. I'm getting the following error:
Something went wrong - -32300 : transport error - HTTP status code was not 200
There doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer on LJXP's site - I'm guessing it's something my install and/or host is doing that's [...]

Well, I've got a Wordpress blog installed and working more or less, and I've got Gallery up and running… mostly.
Now what?

Here we go again, with another test post. This one, using Journler. Heh - that site uses the Wordpress Kubrik theme! Still need to finish tweaking my theme, and/or finding another. What a pain.
Gallery’s doing pretty well I think. I’ll have to start uploading real albums soon.
Whee!
Wonder if [...]

Can’t get pretty permalinks to work. Can’t figure out why - they’re working on gallery. Trouble is, in order to get “now reading” to work, I had to have actual access to the mysql database, so I had to uninstall from godaddy’s side, create a mysql database (no problem, I’ve got 25 available) [...]

It's so wrong that not only do I “get” this comic, but it made me laugh out loud.
Enjoy:

Ok, you've got geek comics, gaming comics - but this is, hands down, the geekiest comic out there. I love it. http://xkcd.com/

Wow. That's got to be a time record for breaking Gallery.
o_O
Wonder what I did….
EDIT 8:46pm: Annnnnnnd now it works. See, this is why I hate computers. You do the exact same thing two or three times, and get two or three different results!!! Isn't that what insanity is?!?
Gah.
Ok. Let's see [...]

Evolutionary biology has vanished from the list of acceptable fields of study for recipients of a federal education grant for low-income college students.
Mr. Nassirian said people at the Education Department had described the omission as �a clerical mistake.� But it is �odd,� he said, because applying the subject codes �is a fairly mechanical task. It [...]

Don't bother with Dulche de Leche Oreos. They are horribly bad.

That's the worst case of acid reflux I've had in ages - a couple of years, at least. I'm sitting up for a while as a defensive maneuver. Guess that's what I get for gaining most of the weight back (not all!!) and eating like crap this weekend.
Nothing like leaping straight out [...]
