Things going on at work

I haven’t said much about things since Fiat picked up where Cerberus left off.

It’s been quite a ride and things are really improving. The philosophy now is to make cars and trucks that customers want, not cut back to save money. Things have improved so much the building is filled to capacity, there’s barely enough floorspace to put all the people that have been hired. There’s talk of looking at moving some non-engineering groups to outside facilities.
It’s been tough making some of the changes such as integrating with the Fiat system but much better than with Daimler.

Upgraded to WordPress 3.1.3

I sas always having a problem with the automatic update for WordPress. I finally read the codex and it suggested changing the server to use PHP 5.
I made that change and now it works great!
Duh, so easy.

Still getting comment spam and can’t get the plugin to work correctly, so I’m still screwing around with that.

I didn’t know this…

Dad passed away this morning.

It’s been coming slowly with his COPD and the morning at 6:30 was the end of it. Too bad I got here an hour late as I wanted to be here with him.

COPD

So what do you do when your dad has COPD and the doctor says it’s end stage COPD and there really isn’t anything more that can be done?

Reviewing CAH information

podcast@mechmed.com (Mark and Sandy) — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 12:06:54 +0000

I printed out a copy of what’s been published on Wikipedia regarding CAH. Now to review it and give it my two cents.
I mean, I have all this knowledge it’s about time I share some.

Running WordPress 3.0

Finally got version 3.0 installed. Couldn’t use the automatic upgrade.

Post outpatient

Today is day three after getting the radioactive implants. Not too much pain, just a little tender and some swelling. I should be able to go back to work tomorrow but will have to see how that goes.

Oral hygene

Had the second of two appointments with the periodontist to have my teeth cleaned and deep scaling done.

Whew, it was uncomfortable going thru it but when it stops, things are fine. I can see the difference. Now to continue with my regular dentist for some crown work.

The dentist today

Have an appointment with the dentist to get a few cavities filled. Tomorrow is the periodontist for the first of two visits.
What a great holiday break to relax.
