OK, so I just got my blog back online. Talk about feeling like an idiot.

I did one of the things that smart admins never do: I upgraded without backups. I thought hey, what could happen. My hosting provider gives me this little button to upgrade wordpress. And I’ve been so impressed with Wordpress that the upgrade should go smoothly.

And it didn’t. Oh boy did it didn’t. It didn’t so badly that it makes me think real hard about chaning blog servers. As you can see, I got everything back, but it wasn’t easy or (quite frankly) intelligable what I did. All I can say is that I thank god I didn’t try to upgrade my wife’s blog, too.

Sony Pictures, you are not on my good list

Let’s put aside the fact that Sony’s PS3 dreams may not come true. Let’s put aside the fact that they are have released a bug-ridden DRM CD and then claimed they didn’t do anything wrong.

Lets talk about the fact that Sony owns the rights to Stargate AND Stargate Atlantis. Which is why they are not available on iTunes.

You see, I lost access to the SciFi Channel, thanks to the Worst Cable Company EVER: Telemedia (you can contact the Better Business Bureau for more on them). I can still see Battlestar, because it’s on iTunes.

Sony, hear me now! Let My Programs Go!
