I haven't actually been on vacation lately, not really. I decided that I needed to go off and do some different stuff for a while. I've been in a rut lately and decided that I needed to shuffle some stuff around. I swapped out the "writing rambling computer nerd blog posts" module for teaching myself a couple of new things and spending some of my downtime offline, curled up with cinnamon tea and a stack of books. Getting away from a screen for a while seems to have done me some good, and I'm almost back up to my old …

UPDATE - 20170512 - More SQL surgery.
So, as you've no doubt noticed I've been running the Bolt CMS to power my website for a while now. I've also mentioned once or twice that I've found it to be something of a finicky beast and doing anything major to it can be something of an adventure. I tried to upgrade my site last week (tonight, by the datestamp on this post) and had to restore from backup yet again because something went sideways. That something was the upgrade process going wrong and throwing an exception because of something in the cache directory …

It's the holidays. I'm pretty busy right now, and hoping I don't have a sinus infection. I haven't forgotten about anybody. I'll get to the time-sensitive stuff first, and rest as I can.
Happy holidays.

Nope. No GLaDOS references today.
As you may or may not be aware, certain parts of the world have come under fire, literally. This has hit me very hard in some very tender places, and I'm not handling it well. Dealing with it has, to a large extent, required staying offline so I don't fry my forebrain.
Work's running me pretty hard, with multiple late-nighters strung end to end.
I'm working on my slides for HOPE in my spare time. I might even get to practice them soon. After that comes more proof-of-concept code that you (yes, you!) can try …

I've just migrated my website over to Bolt because PivotX is effectively dead as a doornail. Consequently, it's going to take me a couple of days to get everything fixed. I think I've imported all of the posts and pages correctly and fixed the relative links so that embedded images and the photo albums are reachable again. The theme isn't really to my liking but I don't have time right now to tinker with it. Suffice it to say that I'll be altering it slowly over the next couple of days to make it more aesthetically pleasing (and restore the …

Home from Pantheacon. Thank you, everyone, for your birthday wishes and greetings - after I got home I slept for a couple of hours due to convention-exhaustion and generally not feeling well at all. I will get back to everyone (and put up my yearly birthday post) in a couple of days, once I'm caught up from being away for four days.

A friendly heads-up for my regular readers - I'm still alive and kicking. Not necessarily doing well, mind you - I've been sick twice in the last month (sick enough that I didn't have it in me to write anything, let alone study or do more than scan my e-mail for anything important happening and then go right back to bed), and I've been undergoing some fairly painful dental procedures at least once a month for the past few months, which takes a lot out of me. Additionally, I'm still studying for a couple of certifications for work, which is basically about …

Back from DefCon 23 in Las Vegas, NV. It'll take me a couple of days to do my usual writeup and then put my notes online.
I'm alive. Sit tight.
