It was pointed out to me that the feeds here were returning 404s … I upgraded to the lastest stable version and it still didn’t work … After some thinking etc, and some forum searching, I determined it was the absence of a valid .htaccess file … Even after putting that in place, it still didn’t work … So then I started to edit the file manually to explicitly add the redirects (cause it’s a bunch of regex in there now) and stopped myself thinking that it may be in the site’s configuration not to use the .htaccess file … lo and behold, that was the case … So even though mod_rewrite is enabled, etc … Still had to go in there and make the changes for the virtual site … I thanked the person who told me this and I now continue on my merry way … The only thing I lost in the upgrade was the CSS file for the site … I had a temporary backup which is in place now but some little tweaks don’t exist in this file … What is very upsetting is that I backed up the directory before I performed the upgrade, but wouldn’t you know it, that file wasn’t there for some reason? Must have done things too fast for my own good …

Heavily working …
There haven’t been many updates to the bLog here cause I’ve been working on many web designs … It takes a lot of time especially when I am working on them from 3 different sources at two different locations … On a couple I have the idea of what needs to be accomplished … On others I am guessing … I have one where I am guessing and the site owner is asking me for suggestions … Very difficult situation … They want the world, but they don’t know what they want … On others I create what I think is best, and then I have to go through the rejection or acception process … Who ever said this was easy? Then there’s been the updating of the other sites … I made a list the other day, and I was amazed at how much I had accomplished … There are other days that seem to drag on with nothing productive being done … very frustrating … So, I drone on … I would share some links to a couple of these sites, but most seem to want to be all secretive until they’re ready to launch … Oh well, that’s cool I guess …
Still waiting …
Haven’t heard anything new yet … My “buddy” tells me that they hire slowly there … That’s cool cause I can wait it out … I’m not in a dire need to move on, it’s just a desire, so I can be very selective … I mean if this doesn’t turn out to be the best thing in my opinion, I have two more paths to consider, and in today’s newspaper, there is a web design job that is advertising $120K/yr.
