Hooped up on Harry

If I thought I could handle the late night, the immense lack of sleep, the likely ridicule from my peers, and the probable long lineup outside the theatre, I’d probably be like others and look to take in the midnight opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tomorrow. But unfortunately at age 31, I don’t think my body could handle the stress and have opted to wait it out a bit. Like maybe 12 hours or something like that.

Even though I’ve never read the books (and neither have Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, nor Alan Rickman for what it’s worth), I still find myself enthralled with the series. As each movie is released, I get excited. I change my ringtone, get caught whistling the title tune in the elevator at work, and begin to write about it here at LCBD. So it’s safe to say that I’m pretty psyched.
But more importantly, are you hooped up on Harry?

A Quick Tidy

Since upgrading to WordPress 2.8, I have found that a number of problems related to the maintenance of leftcoastbydesign.ca have appeared (the jury is still on whether all issues were Chris related). Whether it be receiving the white screen of FAIL when I attempted to install plugins automagically through the WordPress Admin interface or general sluggishness in trying to add new posts, I simply felt that it was time for a refresh and have gone forth with a complete reinstall.

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how much water is in your glass), things may change slightly around here and for that I apologize. Although I felt I did a good job in backing up the necessary files, plugins, and favourited dust bunnies before I fired off the nuke, it appears my good buddy FileZilla didn’t do everything I had asked of it and narfed me some data. I’ve done my best to rebuild, repopulate, and replace everything but may have missed a few items. So I ask for your help to find what’s wrong, missing, or otherwise FUBAR so it can be sorted out.
