I Think I May Have Qualified As A Geek?

I Just Managed To Upgrade My WordPress Blog

A Geek - Similar to Shaun.

A Geek - Similar to Shaun.

So I haven’t written anything in April up till now. That was my April Fool’s Joke.

Did you get it?

No?

Yeah, neither did anyone else.

So when I eventually decided to get around to writing something, I thought I would also use the opportunity to give my blog a bit of a servicing, pretty much all the background stuff – check that the engine was running nicely, oil was changed etc.

Unfortunately, I did all this whilst polishing off a bottle of wine I found in my fridge a few days back, and thus ended up mucking things up on a royal scale. If you had the misfortune of visiting this site recently, you would have seen all sorts of techie jargon about “Infinite Loops” and “Database Errors” etc etc.

As you can see though, I have somehow managed to fix this all up by myself, which if you know me personally, will realise that it’s a pretty monumental achievement on my part. (I just recently worked out how to make a conference call the other day.)

So anyway, there might still be the odd little bug here and there, but otherwise we should be good to go again.

Excited?

I am.

You can’t see me but I am sitting here with a semi right now.

Just for you.

Okay, let’s chat again tomorrow.

    @Betty Bake,

    That was an old competition. It ended in 1850.

    Good enthusiasm on your part though. I like that.

    Yo. Theres just one prob, your footer on the bottom is skew. Off center. Being attacked by the Kraken… whatever…etc

    To fix, just replace the ‘background’ attribute in your css file, under the tag ‘#footer_link’ with this code:

    background:transparent url(images/page_top.gif) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;

    Basically just need to add that 50% 50% so that its centered :)

    Now for that. I deserve something. Like a public handjob.

    @Craig,

    What a legend. I’ll get a someone from my harem to arrange the handjob.
