The upgrade to WordPress 2.5 went very smoothly, all I did was backup my database and files, deactivate all the plugins except my InstantUpgrade plugin, and then ran that.  After enabling the same plugins I was running before, everything was fine.  Easily the most hassle-free upgrade I have ever done on any platform.

I disabled the Twitter Tools updates, I thought there was a weekly digest option but there wasn’t, and it was spamming the Hak5 feed.

We filmed segments for Hak5 3×09 yesterday, and it was a lot of fun.  I stood in for Darren’s segment, Matt stood in for mine.  Christine and I both did short tips and then we headed back home.  It was definitely weird being up there for the first time since December.  Hopefully we get another live show going soon.

Today I will be fixing up my garden to look nice, which is a project inspired by Christine.  I’ll put up pictures later.

I recently purchased a set of JBL On Tour Portable speakers for my Ipod on amazon, and I tell ya.. for 30 40 (oh well eh!) bucks it doesn’t get better. The sound coming out of them is freakin amazing for how small it is. Definitely have some party sound for the house now.

My tonsil recovery is pretty close to complete. I will probably still have a little soreness for a few weeks, but otherwise I feel great and can eat almost anything. I may even try a mixed drink or two this weekend. We’ll see how that goes. As unfortunate as my two trips to the hospital were for rare bleeding, I am happy I had the procedure done.

Along with the speakers, I ordered the book that goes with the game Mass Effect, which I recently finished for the Xbox 360. Outstanding game minus the technical issues. The book is called Mass Effect: Revelations and is written by Drew Karpyshyn, the lead writer for the game. I’ve heard a lot about this book and will be starting it soon. Expect a short review of it in the next few weeks.
