The power was out at tbbs WorldHQ when I got home from work tonight. We’ve been fortunate to have had few, and short outages in the 12+ years we’ve been in this house. Since we’re all-electric, I’d call it doubly fortunate. Tonight, MLB and I tried out the newly-opened Santini’s New York Style Deli around the corner while waiting for the ever vigilant Dominion Virginia linemen to restore service.
While we were sipping our beers, and waiting for her hot pastrami and my calzone1 to be delivered to our table, my cell phone rang, and the autobot voice of Dominion Virginia reassured me that our power had been restored. Turns out, according to the autobot voice, that the “foreign object in the wires”2 had been handled, and a several square block outage was over.
We ate leisurely, came home to a well-lit house. On firing up the laptop, I noticed that WordPress 2.7 is available. Hmm, I’m tired, really not in the mood, but WTF?.
Another painless, straightforward upgrade, and we’re flying WP 2.7.
With the lights on, too.
Thanks, WordPress!

I’m ready to quit blogging. It wasn’t 48 hours ago that I upgraded 4 of the 6 blogs I run to whatever amalgam they were previously nagging me to upgrade to.
Seriously, it’s become the web equivalent of Microsoft. 5000 updates, every month, with more to come next Tuesday.
WordPress upgrades are amongst the easiest upgrades I’ve ever dealt with. I had been using the WP Automatic Upgrade plugin but now even that has been rolled in to core functionality. It doesn’t seem burdensome to me.
