I finally got annoyed enough at the “upgrade available” message that I backed up my DBes and upgraded WP to the latest version. I can’t remember the last time, but I usually download the upgrade and do it manually. This time, I said fuck it and went with the auto. Forgot whether I was supposed to disable plugins (I think I was), so I didn’t bother, and…everything went fine. So, yay–backups (well, DBes if not files, but it’s not like I have anything truly critical) are done, upgrades are done, TDK is already sent, and it’s not even 0930h yet. I’m taking the day off, I think, and I was considering going to BL’s house to chase bugs, but until I figure out how to turn off the goddamned sun, I’m not all that enthusiastic about going outside later than seven in the morning, so…dunno.

I’m glad I exercised some restraint and didn’t add everyone and his dog whose names I recognised to my FB. Not that I think I’m particularly interesting myself, but I do at least attempt to participate in coversation and occasionally insert a little humour into my updates and content, which is more than can be said for a few of my FB friends (Christ, I hate using the word “friends”…some are friends, some are only acquaintances). A few of them post amusing stuff, or interesting content, or at least reply if you write on their walls, but some are just…boring. “(insert name) is going to work, then coming home to watch TV.” Zzzzzz. “(insert name) is making lunches, then going to bed.” Zzzzzzzzzzz. Fifty photos from a weekend at the beach, three of which actually have people in them (none are portraits, just snapshots where there’s more background than person), and the rest are essentially the same view of the same place. God-damn, can’t wait to check out that gallery! Don’t even get me started on anyone who uses a photo of the kid(s) for the profile, and writes only about the kids. Goddamned mommy-bloggers. For the average person, life is generally boring and fairly repetitive, but surely they must think something or see something or read something interesting, even if work/kids/home responsibilities don’t necessarily allow us to do something interesting. Otherwise, why even bother with something interactive like FB…why not just create a page and write out the daily schedule? Hell, why not create a bitch blog that nobody wants to read? 😀
