Considering it has been a while since I have written an update, and the site went down for a couple of days, I think one is due. I owe it to my reader (yes that is singular).

I had a few issues with database connectivity and processes not running, but I finally got that worked out. I also made a backup of the database for safety reasons, considering I didn’t have one to begin with. I realized that when the database “vanished” for no apparent reason, but it magically reappeared as well. All in all things were odd with the site but all appear to back to normal.

During all this I have also been attempting to recompile and upgrade the kernel to 2.6, but that has been slow going. Not surprising considering this is my first attempt at doing this. I think I may have to go back to the begining and go back through all the steps. Not to worried about it, just something I am trying to do, a learning process mainly. If I ever get the new kernel working I will wirte a little announcement.

A while back I also threw some buttons over in the navigation pane. I think I like them, and in the end if I do I will most likely attempt to get the rest of them set to buttons as well. This will be something that will happen slowly if it does happen though, as it is not anything dire.
