Island News

Well not much news to report today, the site (even tho it’s a freebie) seems to be working nicely, although I’d like to get away from these banner ad’s :rolleyes but for the time being this will have to do. Not a bad day here weather wise, little on the cool side it was -10 here this morning but no wind at least until later in the day which made things quite cold with the wind chill. I’m so looking forward to spring, this cold weather is for pengiuns.

Well last week my ISP shut me down as far as running my own servers but after a few days I have been able to find this free site to at least get things running again until I can find something better.

It’s not fun changing MT back from running with MYSQL back to Brackely DB, anyway we got it back, you will have to excuse the banners a lot of free sites that don’t have banners don’t have CGI & Perl so I had to go with what I could find.

Well it’s finaly starting to warm up here, snow and ice was actually melting on the roads today. And those poor people in NYC and other states on the East Coast are getting hammered with all that snow, well all I can say is I can’t think of a better place for it right now.

Oh yes the old Snakes & Ladders game, that is one thats been around for more than 40 plus years, and I bet it can still be bought in stores today. I have upgraded the blog here to the new version of movable type, and there was some hacks I had to put back in to get it working like I had it setup before nothing too serious and for the most part the upgrade went well.

Upgraded to the new version of MT today, now up to version 2.6. The upgrade went very slick and didn’t have to change anything afterwards which was a bonus. Damn it’s cold here today, this morning when I got up it was minus 25c and with the windchill it was minus 40c and some places on the Island here today it was minus 50c. NOW THATS #$@#$@# COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
