Fire In the Sky

edit: Upgraded to Wordpress 2.0, and I did it manually this time woot.

Since I am on summer break I decided to come home for about 2 weeks so I could visit family, friends, and of course work. I got in Thursday but I have to say … it was a scary drive. There have been wild fires in both Georgia and Florida and the main high way that I take just so happened to be near where the fires were, I felt like I was driving into hell. The sky began to get dark to the point where I had to turn my lights on (note: it was about 1pm) and the sky also began to turn a bright orange color and as I drove further further the orange color began to get brighter and brighter. I had my camera with me so naturally I took some photos, you can see one of the orange sky to the left (click on it for a larger view). It was scary but neat looking at the same time.

I started back to work Saturday, and it’s been going well – same old same old stuff (I am a server at a private dining room). It’ll be nice to be getting pay checks again, haha. I still have yet to get hired in Tallahassee, when I go back I plan on searching even more for a job. Right now I work everyday but Friday so I’ll have a nice paycheck :)

I planned on blogging sooner but I have been busy with work, Mother’s Day, and lots of birthdays (sister and Becca’s were both on the 13th, mother’s was today, and a few other people as well). That and my laptop died last night. Read more…

I was supposed to get my Wii Tuesday, but EBGames sucks and sent it to my friend (they automatically send it to the billing address to “prevent fraud” which I can understand I guess but still annoying) which means my friend now has to send it to me … hopefully I’ll have it by Friday because I am so excited to play it! I can’t wait *insert girly scream here* I’ll end the blog on that note ;)


Stalkerish?

edit: I ended up retiring two of the themes I was trying to fix, heh. I gave up and I didn’t feel like re-coding them and I’ve had them as themes for a while now (I took down The Fray and Kira) so now they have been retired to the retired themes page under the preview themes section. I also fixed two other themes, well tried, which are Afterglow and Eisley. Lastly, I took down the WAKS Q&A script if someone really wants it I’ll send it to you but otherwise I took the tutorial down, it’s not a very secure script so why have it up.

First off, I FINALLY upgraded wordpress … took me a while. Okay technically I cheated and did it through Fantastico even though I know it doesn’t always work, but oh well it was easy haha. I love the new wordpress though, will take a bit of getting use to. I need to also fix some themes since some are not working (although they weren’t working before the new version so it’s nothing to do with wordpress).

I also received an invite for Reinvigorate.net, it’s like the ever-popular mint but since it’s beta it’s free. I am pretty impressed so far, basically I tell when people visit my sites, from where they came, how long they were here, and much more. It’s rather interesting but makes me feel like a stalker haha. If you want to get in on the action, you can fill out something on the site and hope they sent you an invite. I love it so far though, I have this site as well as Despair.nu listed on it.

Ironically, my last post I talked about “pimping” out my computer … well I ended up having to reinstall it because my laptop was acting weird (thankfully my computer backs itself up, I love that feature) but I didn’t feel like having it up anymore it was fun while it lasted. Any plans this weekend? Becca’s friend is over for the weekend until Tuesday, so we had dinner earlier and bought some drinks haha. Next week I am going home, should be fun I am excited although I’ll be working some of it since I don’t have a job in Tally yet … oh well.
