Upgrading Day
I got my Macbook upgrade this morning to Snow Leopard. I did the whole cycle, backup and upgrade in place to make sure everything is good and then did a nuke from space, re-install and then suck in my old settings. It actually takes quite a while to-do it that way. Next is my desktop and I’m not looking forward to it.
The biggest annoying thing so far is that it kind of hosed my ruby on rails install. I didn’t have anything to incredible there, but I had to jump through some hoops to wire back up the sqlite3 db I used when developing stuff. Luckily the gem stuff worked, so I was able to leverage it to re-install everything.
I also updated WordPress, hence why I’m writing something. I guess there is a internet worm making the rounds which can take over un-patched installations. I don’t have ftp running on my server, so none of the automatic upgrade stuff works, so I have to-do everything manually. I am pretty stupid, because I’ve yet to write down how to-do it, so every time I have to work through the instructions. I should just script the whole thing, it is pretty simple.
Tomorrow is a Isaac and Daddy day, Rosie is going hiking on the east side of the mountain. We are going to go swimming at the Y in the morning and then move my desk at work. I’m moving into an office and thought it would be fun for Isaac to help me. (I know it sounds horrible, but he loves this kind of thing.)
