A Minor Journey dot com.

So I’ve just spent about two hours of my first weekend afternoon with Kate back in the house and not working by installing and fiddling with Wordpress 2.5 . Strange thing to do I know, especially when Kate and I haven’t seen more than about an hour of each other every day for the past eight weeks - but Kate has been so emotionally drained and physically exhausted that she passed out on the bed a good three hours ago. Well, I’ve got to do something eh?

In playing with the Mac Pro I managed to free up a good few GB (400 in fact) by removing duplicate files from other machines in the house and generally sorting things out a bit. I then spent about 30 minutes trying to get the Prosoft Engineering website to let me buy an upgrade to their Drive Genius software. I remember back when I worked at Mac Format how I’d worked with Prosoft to put some of their software on a cover disc. The person I dealt with is still at the company and is a really nice lady. Were it not for that I may have forgotten the upgrade. Something was up with their site and it just took forever to get my purchase to go through. (Sigh)

Still, I have the software now, so I’ll be booting up the MacPro a bit later and doing some much-needed maintenance. Anyway, that lead me to the Wordpress site. I realised that my blog was a whole .6 of a version out! Shock horror! As the new wordpress looked pretty nifty I decided to upgrade. While I was downloading the update and shoving it onto the server I noticed just how outdated and quite frankly, over-the-top my old theme was. So here’s the new one, Cutlineby Chris Pearson. Thanks, Chris! I have modified the header image to be one I took last summer in Scotland while Kate and I visited the Ben Nevis region. I hope Chris won’t mind too much

There will be some modifications over the next few weeks to the blog’s look. It may take a while, but I hope to include some of the good bits of the old site theme while including some more modern and funky bits.

So, whatdya think?
