Back (again)
Apologies for the unannounced absence. I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and although I don’t appear to have lost any data, and the front-end of the site wasn’t affected, I couldn’t log into the admin area. I think the password got corrupted in the database… but that’s really weird as nothing else seems to have been affected. Anyways, I eventually had to resort to some hand-written SQL to rebuild parts of the database. But that had to be embedded in some PHP code. And while I’m pretty good with the ol’ SQL, my PHP skills aren’t up to much (more of a Coldfusion person). So it took a while.
Anyways, all seems to be well now and I must say that the new WordPress admin is really quite shiny.
So it looks like I’m back up and running just in time for my Christmas holiday.
PS: Happy Solstice!
happy burns night! [where are you?]
“The fear o’ hell’s the hangman’s whip
To laud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip,
Let that aye be your border.”

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO JAMES ‘LONGHORNE’ BLISS, EXPLORER, AFTER THAT DAY.
SOME SAY HE TOOK UP CRACK-SLEDGING.
SOME SAY HE BURNT HIS POSSESSIONS AT THE FOOT OF THE JAMES JOYCE STATUE IN DUBLIN & RAISED HENS.
THERE ARE THOSE THAT SAY THE LAST THEY SAW OF HIM HE WAS ROWING A BLOW-UP SEX DOLL UP THE RIVER LIFFY, PADDLING FURIOUSLY & SCREAMING “BLOGGING’S FOR TOSSERS! ELYSIUM AWAITS!!”
WHICH SURPRISED NO ONE. AH, HE WAS A GRAND FELLA ALRIGHT.

i have been in touch with mr longhorne bliss & he is, as far as i can tell, most fine, sorting out a few things in his life & having a bit of a sabbatical from the slog of the blog.
its a little odd to be writing this about someone on their own BLOG.. don’t you think? i can’t help but feel that something has gone terribly wrong in the process, somewhere.
hmmn.
so, from now on I will be maintaining this blog in his absence, here in the comments box. starting tomorrow i shall be publishing a piece i have written entitled “where george lucas went wrong [what a tosser]”. also my thoughts on paperclips & a recipe for prawn crumble. watch this space.
