It’s so nice to sleep in my own bed after being away for 3 weeks. I finally got back to Denver last Thursday after spending a few days in Vegas. Not much to say about Vegas as I wasn’t in the best shape for what it has to offer. I’m not sure why, but I managed to come down with a little cold during the last few days in Marina Del Rey. The cold might have something to do with late nights out, eating late night meals, and sleeping on an air mattress during most of my stay, but that’s just a guess. By the time I reached Vegas I was pretty beat. The first night I was in bed by 10 PM. I managed to make it ’til midnight the second night. Not that it mattered, I probably won’t be gambling at the Hard Rock Casino ever again. It was ridiculous how fast I lost my money. It’s not that I expect to win money in Vegas. Actually, I expect to lose whatever money I bring. But it would’ve been nice to last a little longer at the tables to at least enjoy a free drink or two. Oh well.
So here I am finally getting some things done at home. Mostly, I’ve been cleaning up in certain areas that get ignored, like the garage. And, in the “things that interest only me” area, I finally upgraded WordPress today. I’m now running on v2.3.1. And I was able to upgrade the K2 theme and Gallery plugin so everything work together. I’ve been using the Gallery plugin for pictures for some time now, but I had to stop using the K2 theme earlier this year when I figured out the K2 theme and Gallery plugin didn’t get along. The K2 theme comes with some cool functions that I’ve missed. Specifically, I’m able to create header images using my own pictures to put on the site. I’ve already added one that I was using earlier this year. One I get more header images in there, the images will rotate so that front page doesn’t seem static. Like I said, things that interest only me.
On that same note, I can’t wait for Christmas to come. I’m getting the latest version of Mac OS/X – Leopard. That’ll give me something to play with for a few days. I’ll try to get another post in before Christmas. But, if I don’t, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
