There are 580 posts on this here blog. There is no way in hell I am going to manually transfer 580 posts plus comments to a new DB. Surely there must be an easier way right? Well there is, but I seem to be having a problem getting the ’simple’ import b2 to wordpress thing going.
It’s been annoying me relentlessly for the past hour. I’ve now closed all windows associated and refuse to open them again. I seriously just don’t get it.

I’m trying to install wp on a clean DB and I think that there is my problem. Can’t import b2 tables when they don’t exist.. :\ I don’t really know what to do now. I have to work out how to get around it or find documentation that doesn’t resemble a ‘How to construct your very own real life Death Star in 247 simple steps” manual.

I’m officially updating to WordPress in a moment. A moment being after I finally get up and put the first of a hundred loads of washing on. It’s about time too! The washing and the change over. b2 has been stagnating over there for a while now and months ago I decided I was going to change it over, but got all panicky about having to redo my site skinning, archives, losing hacks and the likes. But now I don’t care, I’m upgrading.

I’m also changing my gallery around a bit. It’s a little static for my liking. I want something I can update in a real time basis with a daily focus picture. Will see what I can come up with anyway. I’m not about to win awards for my photography here, occasionally I get a great shot and I like to play with texture and lighting, but I really just want a clean space to put them all.

I suppose I should do that washing

‘I’ve been reading up on how everyone is doing today I lurk a lot. I don’t know why it takes me so much time to work up the courage to comment on people’s blogs. Understand I’ve always been a shy reserved person (until you get to know me that is then you’d wonder why I introduce myself that way) but I still can’t understand why that shy nature is carried across online also. I guess years of hiding behind others tends to leave you with apprehension about acceptance. It’s stupid really, but something I’m yet to get over.

Anyway I’m always hanging around reading up on my favs and discovering new writers all the time. It’s amazing the lives you all lead and how different we all are. How values and importance is placed on entirely different levels and yet each one is inherently interesting to those of us watching from a distance.There’s a separation that’s impossible to see from the inside. I just wish I was brave enough to speak up more often.

I can speak openly and endlessly in my own environment, but put me in another and I’m suddenly grasping for familiarity while staying close to the edges. Expect to see an abundance of random thoughts today. I’m in the mood to create

What an incredibly lazy weekend I’m having. We are supposed to be washing/sanding/undercoating/painting the walls in our spare room but are yet to even open the door and let the months of settled dust become airborne. Now after having an even slothier morning in PJs eating breakfast and staring out the window at the rain we’ve decided to ditch it all together and head off to the markets to do some serious shopping.

I’ve been at my current job for just over three months now. I got the ‘You are permanent so it’s harder for us to fire you now’ speech on Thursday. The boss took me out for a coffee, which was a bit of system shock. I can’t describe the unease of having to sit inches away from your boss, look directly into his eyes and constantly affirm that you ARE listening, yet the process of having to sit there and listen is now at top position and the actual information is beginning to filter through as background noise. It’s amazing how loud it can get inside your own head.

I do enjoy work, however and our manager is the best I’ve ever had to work with, all considering. But that doesn’t mean I’m not still waiting for the government to approve 3 day weekends.

Ok off to spend large amounts of money recklessly
