Happy Father’s Day dad!
I know you will most likely not read this today, or anytime soon, But eventually you will. Just thought I’d post it anyways.

Don’t try to fix me, I’m not broken…
June 20, 2009 — BrentHello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to. Hello.
Unless of course it really WAS broken. Which it was. and after several days of no time to try and fix it, I tried, but to no avail. My “Sidebar” was stuck as part of the center column and I couldn’t find the code to return it to where it should be. I could move it above, below, and even amongst the posts on the main page, but not on the right, outside the white center column of this “Elegant Brit (b)” theme I love so much. Even worse, it was fine on some areas of the site, such as when one opened an individual post. Comparing the different php pages lead me to nothing. I looked at all the CSS. I even read the code generated on the client! My brain was ready to explode and I was getting angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
Four flippin’ hours later, I’ve manually uninstalled WordPress, deleted my database, cleared the tables 6-7 times, edited my database tables, panicked, had a few drinks, installed 2 programs, restored my database information 5-6 times, explored tar balls and moved a cumulative 30-40MB of data back and forth through cyberspace, all to get back to where I was minus ONE problem. I can say that I have finally fixed the sidebar…sort of. I didn’t technically fix it, since I never found out what was wrong and undo it. I just rebuilt my blog from the ground up from various broken backup files and a hand written list of plugins versions.
So you just sit there, stuck, afraid to risk reality…

Afraid to cause yourself more pain, to face insanity
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see… your fear’s your cage…
Heyo! just testing out another piece of software to blog from my laptop instead of going directly to the site. Hope it goes ok. I need to redo the site anyways, I broke it when I tried to use Adobe’s program for the last post. I forget which it is, Contribute maybe?…*googles*…yup, that’s the one. it was nice, powerful, but a pain. and it didn’t work how I wanted it to. perhaps I should give it more of a chance, but it broke my blog layout and I can’t see where the problem that it created lies so I’m in no hurry to do so.
Anyhoo…I’m posting this one in Microsoft’s newer app, part of the Windows Live suite of free apps, Windows Live Writer. It connected easy and gave me no errors related to the post format (which is what Contribute did).
Pass out at three, wake up at ten. Go out to eat, then do it again

I’m a frakking cylon!
But in other news, I got bored and was playing around on Trek’s site. I came across this customizing area and I made this bike. I love it. Can you give me $6G? I’ll let you take it for a spin every now and then. If you cant’ tell, it’s purple flames with royal blue outlining on top of obsidian blue background. The tires are blue and everything else is black. with some white/silver here and there. I won’t go into component details because at this point, they mean nothing to me. Inscribed on the top tube just in front of the seat tube is a surname, Rummnaheim, which I’ve been using for my fantasy characters since my first D&D character. But enough about that, because I’ll probably never buy a road bike in that price range, I don’t ride enough to justify it. Read the rest of this entry »
I danced my face off…
May 23, 2009 — BrentNot really.
I’m in Ashland for the weekend for commencement. Jackie’s walking.
Missed the lengerie party because I’m old and fell asleep after a glass of Bulberry Blackberry wine (which was absolutely delicious).
Went beach and park walking and taking pictures yesterday with Jackie. I took hundreds of pictures, and I think some of them will atcutally look good too! I’ll go through them and put them up on flickr somethime this week if I can. I had fun. and not it’s time to go to breakfast.
37 stitches, 37 stitches, Yeah!
May 12, 2009 — BrentKitten update!
Ha.
Feeling silly, that’s all.
Started playing WoW again, still plying LOTRO too.
It’s lonely in the low level WoW maps.
Kris Kross will make you
May 4, 2009 — BrentCross post will make you
So, I’ve decided that a better way to declutter is to just be more efficient with my online posting. I’ve installed some crossposting functions to my blog so that I won’t completely abandon everyone. I still come back and check in about once a week for anything that doesn’t get emailed to me by FB, LJ, Twitter, or MySpace.

May 4, 2009 — BrentHey Mambo!
*Warning* My thoughts were kind of jumbled when writing this. I jump around a little.
Went for a ride to chocolate fest yesterday. It was such a gorgeous day, I could have ridden for hours. Of course Chocolatefest was also clogged with so many people not paying attention to the world around them, that I could have also clubbed people over the head for hours. M’eh.
