Moving house, & wordpress 2.5 update

Tag: My Life,Site NewsInsaneLampshade @ 13:32pm

Moving house this weekend, never done it before, should be interesting (so long as i’m not too hungover from the leaving party for me at work on friday, lol). Moving some 96 miles (155 kilometres) north-ish:

House Move

(indicated by the small red arrow to the left of London… map may not be 100% accurate, lol)

And i updated the site to use WordPress 2.5 yesterday. While i have to admit the backend is looking very sleek now (the keyword there being “looking”), i’m somewhat miffed that it seems to have broken image uploading, lol (it took me almost 30 minutes to get that map picture uploaded there, lol), not to mention that the latest version of the photopress plugin just plainly didn’t work at all. Ahh well. When wordpress fixes the 2.5 image uploader i’ll probably migrate the gallery’s away from the photopress plugin and use wordpress’s new internal gallery thing instead anyway.

However… most important at the moment is getting an internet connection that is not as slow as a dead walrus after i have moved… i mean waiting for youtube to buffer wtf?! Damn backwater Middle-England hicks with their crappy telephone lines, anyone’d think it was Wales.

EDIT: image uploader now fixed (blah, mod_security, .htaccess etc.), so i shall be trying out what the new gallery thing is like (if anyone notices a “Photos2″ suddenly appearing at the top then that’ll be it), maybe it’ll even be able to space images evenly in a page, lol.
