I learned that I can't just upgrade the entire OS (well, mysql especially) and necessarily expect mysql databases to keep working without dumping and restoring them.
OK, I was probably told that in large red blinking letters at the time I did an upgrade, and, as always, clicked through the warning without reading.
So anyway, I got this silly blog back up today after it being down for a few months.
In the meantime, summer's come and gone, and I've changed jobs: I'm working from home for Red Hat now, doing a lot of the same work I was doing before for at CITI. I like it.
I've been to Boston a few times for work, to Waterloo and DC for fun, and to Portland for Sara's work, my fun.
I haven't been to Paris, despite a half-hearted attempt or two.
After sharing a one-bedroom student apartment for 13 years, it seems time for Sara and I to move some place a little roomier. But we haven't figured out where.
In overambitious-reading-projects news, I finished "A l'ombre des Jeunes Filles en Fleur" and set aside Proust for a while, and I'm slogging through Perec's "La Vie, Mode d'Emploi". Maybe I should give up on Perec. I like to read novels, not lists.
