I got called in to work at 4:00 pm on Sunday because of a series of problems. In the course of this event, I have rediscovered a few things:

• Patching (even if it’s required) can go wrong - be careful
• Backups might not have worked - double check
• tapes can be overwritten - turn on write-protect
• get input before you do something that commits you to a multi-day restore

I’m sure there will be more before this all settles down, but I’ve got to get back to it.

I’ve just updated the Tigard Christian Church website. Now the waiting begins… The big question is “when will they notice?”

After a couple of months of fiddling around with Mambo Open Server, deciding on structure, and importing/creating content, it’s time to release the new web site for Tigard Christian Church to the public! I’ve shown it to a couple of groups (who were very supportive and helpful).
This update came about after absorbing about a year of Mean Dean’s HealYourChurchWebsite. I’ve tried to use many of the principles that he preaches there, but there is still room for improvement. Mainly, I wanted to set things up so that others could provide content - and give the site a general update.
Take a look at the new site here until the big change.

I’ve done it! My personal blog is now on Wordpress. The move was simple. Set up was fast (as soon as I remembered my password to get into mysql). Migrating old MT based entries went smoothly. All in all I would say it was painless. Of course I still have to go style shopping, but that’s all part of the fun!
