I have to confess, today hasn’t gone too well. The website nightmare is yet unresolved, although it is finally coming back together. This fact might have accentuated my pleasure to see this week’s podcast of “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” in iTunes, waiting to be heard.
I am a NPR junkie, in addition to being a coffe junkie and a news-in-general junkie. My habit has been exaggerated recently, now that I can subscribe to many shows in iTunes. Frankly, having a podcast of “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” makes the whole podcast thing worth while. If you haven’t heard the show - go to iTunes and check it out.
I currently subscribe to these shows:

  • Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me
  • Marketplace
  • On the Media
  • The Splendid Table
  • This American Life
  • Missing from the list, because they don’t podcast: Car Talk and Prairie Home Companion

    It was supposed to be so simple: update to Wordpress 2.1. I updated a couple of weeks ago - nobody even noticed. That’s a good thing.
    This time. Things are broken, badly. It will be some time before they are fixed.
    Unfortunately, once started, there is no going back. I was over-confident.
    Is there an “undo” key I can push?

    {edit, Sunday Night} This has been a nightmare. I have now completely re-installed wordpress, and am working on updating / reinstalling all of the plugins. Then on to the theme: this is only temporary.

    I have to say: I will rejoice on the day when I can have blogging software that works well (and wordpress’s blogging software does) and also have a great photo gallery system.

    {edit, Monday evening} Okay, framework that holds the sidebar together, and allowed for some of content - Netflix info, Twitter, del.icio.us, etc - is broken and awaiting a fix by the developer. The Gallery program I was using is also being updated, but since it is such a massive program, and not properly a part of Wordpress, I am looking for a Photo Gallery replacement. So far, I have tested a few options, and have been dissatisfied.
