Sometimes it’s so time consuming, trying to figure out what is wrong. I’ve been having trouble with my blog. I keep getting a database error, and I can’t for the life of me determine why. My configuration files have the proper names and locations. My database hasn’t changed. Nothing has changed that I can tell, but for some reason, the system is hiccupping and sporadically throwing an error. I can reload the page once or several times, and eventually I’ll get back in.
So. Frustrating. I’ve perused the WordPress forums to no avail. I looked at my server settings. Finally I submitted a ticket to my host service, and they sent me a test file to show that from their perspective, all is working fine. So I ran their test file, and lo, everything is working fine. Ever since, things have been working. It’s not a magic test. It just says, hey, I’m a php page and I can talk to a mysql database. Whoopee. It does nothing else. I don’t know what the problem is. I hate that. I like stability.
Anyway. There it is. My whinge for the day.
Oh, there’s more. Much more. But I’m too tired to get into it.
Tomorrow I am taking a day off. I’ve gotten into a use-it-or-lose-it situation with my vacation time, which is totally pathetic. What kind of person doesn’t take time off when they can, and get paid for it to boot I seriously need to examine my priorities and learn how to put me-time into better perspective. The giant corporate entity for which I work will not go belly up if I take a break or two. So. Tomorrow. Time off. Perhaps I’ll blog. Or clean house. Go shopping Run errands Do laundry I’ll think of something.
