Blog Crashed

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

I went to upgrade WordPress for my blog yesterday.
Simple operation, right? Especially since WordPress now offers upgrades in a fully automated process.
Unfortunately, not so.
The upgrade rendered WordPress inoperable and fucked my database!
I was able to salvage some old posts and repost them, after deleting the old install and installing a fresh copy with a fresh database. As a result, the old posts all have yesterday’s date on them and there are no longer any comments on my blog.
That really sucks! The blog was 5 years old!
The only saving grace was that I barely blogged at all over the past 2 or 3 years, so there went a ton of posts lost.

Better get back to posting!

Choosing A College

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

There are a number of different colleges out there with vastly different academic programs.  How do you choose the right one for you?

There are a number of questions to ask yourself.  How much can you afford to spend?  How much of your education will be subsidized?  Is the college of your choice one of the best in your field of study?  Will you be taking your courses in class or online?  Do graduates of the college become successful after graduation?  Make sure you answer these questions while looking for your college.
