Blogging will be light this week (as it has been the last several days) because of a variety of time crunches. I’m still trying to find time to get my new toy all setup so I can start using it full time (sucks having a new toy that you can’t even find time to play with). I’m also trying to redesign our church’s Web site since WordPress decided to puke on it (and I don’t have time to babysit it as much). I’m trying out Typo3 with the Web-Empowered Church extensions and there are a lot of cool things there, I’m just not familiar with Typo3 at all, so fumbling my way around it has been slow, to say the least. I’m also playing with the Central Oregon Symphony this weekend and have several rehearsals this week to get ready for that. And I have a bunch of little projects at home that I’m still playing catch-up on.
Needless to say, I won’t be making it to last-minute the local blogger meetup on Wednesday (could somebody plan these things more than 48 hours in advance folks? Fer cryin’ out loud…) as not only do I not get off work until it starts (and still have a 30-40 minute commute where I then have to go immediately to COCC), I have rehearsal that night (like I did at the last meetup). So everybody go enjoy yourself.

Do you know what of WordPress broke? I’ve enjoyed using it on a few sites, but I hadn’t heard of Web-Empowered Church, so I might take a look at it. I’m in the process of redesigning my church’s graphics heavy site (http://midwaycovenant.org to http://kelleyprod.com/wptest) with WP.
I nominate Jake to organize the next blogger meetup. That way he has plenty of notice and it’s scheduled for a day he can attend. 😛
(But then he’d still probably have an excuse not to attend…)
@Josh: WordPress needs babysitting because it’s a popular target of script kiddies looking to exploit web sites. Mine didn’t have any public exploits, but several hacks affected the back end. If you update it all the time, you’re fine, but I don’t have time to babysit.
@Jen: I probably would’ve been able to go (at least a few minutes) had I had more notice. I can’t be the only person that needs to know about things more than two days in advance.
Blogger meetup? Wednesday? I’ll close the restaurant, find a dog-sitter and drive the 5-hours to be there. There’s no excuse. Can’t wait to see everyone…
(JAKE!)
@keeneye: And why the heck weren’t you at the last blogger meetup, that was planned much more in advance, smart a$$ ? 😉
