Just when I thought I was done.
Wordpress 1.5 has hit the ‘net. Figures, just as I was getting around to completing my Netflix movie plugin and planning on getting the whole iTunes thing going, they go and release a new version. Hopefully it will all work with the code as it currently is, but you never know. I probably won’t be able to get around to the upgrade till mid-week at the earliest, seeing as how tomorrow is my birthday, so massive alcohol consumption is in the plans, and Tuesday I’m going to a meeting after work with the Corporate office.
After my day on Saturday I seriously think I am going to start removing DSL and Cable modems from the homes of those I deem too stupid to be on the internet. Went over to my in-laws and had to completely reconfigure their DSL setup even after I told them earlier in the week when the called me to call Verizon and have them walk them through “setting up your router to handle the PPPoE authentication”. Of course, God forbid anyone ever does what I tell them. My brother-in-law wanted to setup his Xbox for Xbox Live and they couldn’t get it working and of course they called me. I told them what to do, seeing as how they are paying Verizon for tech support, and hoped it would be all that I was needed to be involved. Yes, I realize I was asking too much, but one can hope.
This is the first time I had been there since they had gotten their new computer, and I almost cried. Dell Dimension 2400, 256MB and tons of Spyware and virii. Not to mention P2P apps and the like. I had warned them before they ever got their new computer that if they engaged in said activities I would NEVER provide support for their computer. So I used it just long enough to reconfigure the router and left it at that, and smiled and told them “I will tell you now, a month from now that computer will be unusable”. Once that was done, I redid the Xbox and left. I hate it when people think you need to be their free tech support for life just because you happen to be related.
Well, to those two people that are reading, have a good one, and next time I post, we’ll be at version 1.5! YA!
