Don’t upgrade stuff on Friday afternoon

Its Friday afternoon and I can’t get the new Scribefire firefox extension to work with my blog.  Actually its been an issue for the last week or so, since it was upgraded from Perfomancing.  So I decide that it must be an issue with a bad file in WordPress.

So I go to the Wordpress site and see that a new version has been released.  So what the heck, I’ll upgrade it, fix the security issue and it will probably fix the Scribefire issue.  I follow the Wordpress instructions, delete a bunch of stuff, upload the new files, and realize I’ve deleted the configuration file.  And my ISP has some weird settings that i can’t figure out and now nothing works at all.  Its Friday — why did I start this?

Several hours later, after a good dinner and some mental rest I figure it out.  I use the ISP’s one-click installation for a new WordPress blog, copy the config file, edit it to link to my real WordPress database, upload it, it works (Yeah!) and then delete the new one I created.  Some fun, huh?

But the good news is that after all of this Scribefire now works.  So I guess it was worth it (ain’t technology fun!)
