Irene went in to the hospital today for her second hip replacement surgery (left hip this time). Everything seems to have gone well: she was in pre-op at 8:00 am, entered the surgical ward around 9:30, surgery around 10:00 am done by about noon, out of post op by around 2:00 pm.
If you have no idea what tags are, or if you have never used WordPress, chances are you have no idea what Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) is. You can probably skip this post, but in case you are curious: tags are like keywords to help categorize posts. UTW is a plugin for WordPress by Christine Davis to help posters manage tags within their blog.
In the “my God, I can’t believe he took pictures of that…” department, I give you…pictures of my office cleanup!

How about this for timing….on February 27th, I upgraded my version of WordPress from 2.0.4 to 2.1.1. It was quite some time since my last upgrade, and there were several security fixes that I needed to get installed. I was briefly proud of myself for getting my site sort of up to date.
Someone has been submitting about five “Viagra!” news items to one of my websites every day now for about six months. Such news items are moderated, and never appear on the site since I delete them. That’s dumb.
I mentioned a couple of days ago that I’m cleaning up my office. Stage 2 was supposed to be “re-do the wiring”, but that became “stage 3” when I decided I needed to add a new filing cabinet and a few other things to help organize.
I added Google AdSense to my blog in December of 2005. As I said back then, I was curious how it would work for me.
I’m upgrading the version of WordPress (the software that runs this blog) on my server. This is a periodically necessary process in order to keep up with security updates.
Some site features may temporarily disappear during the upgrade, and should re-appear once the upgrade is complete. It is also likely that there will be some problems during the upgrade process.
Irene is going in for her second hip surgery next week. I’ll be working from home for a while as she recovers and gets mobile. In preparation for this, I’m taking *this* week off to re-organize my office and take care of a few other things around the house to make things ready for Robo-Irene.
On Thursday I decided to install some driver updates for Vista. ATI has a new video driver, version 7.2. I had this crazy idea that this might solve my problem with putting the computer in standby mode. The rest of what happened is proof that, despite having a moderately high intelligence, I’m often rather stupid…
