Given that I still do plan to close This Fine Blog™ sometime next year…well, don’t ask me why, Denizens – but I just pruned the blogroll.
And if that  weren’t enough – and, bah Gawd (a little Jim Ross lingo, there), don’tcha think it oughta be? – I just updated to WordPress 4.0.
Guess I’m just bored.  Or maybe I don’t want to do the couple of outside chores waiting for me (given that it’s near 90 out today, with 15,000,000% humidity)…
UPDATE: On the other hand, I appear to have found a bug in WordPress 4.0…
Update the Twoth (grin):  Have rolled back to 3.92 for WordPress.  (And General – if you should happen by, that’s it for updates (unless we get hacked again or WP fixes the & # bug).  Sorry.)
To keep The Six or Seven Of You™ in the loop on this – I use “ampersand-pound sign” (or hashtag, whichever floats your particular boat) codes on this site for the purposes of blog-readability.  I was taught in “hah skrewl” (a little Rush lingo, there) to use two spaces after a period or colon, one space for everything else.
Browsers, it seems, don’t agree. This is an example – I just put two spaces after that last period, but you’re only seeing one.
Hence, I “force” a space after every sentence by using a macro in my text editor that generates a period-ampersand-pound sign-one-six-zero text string.  (For those of you in the Church of the SubTarded, that’s “. & # 160”.)  I get my readability, none of you are any the wiser.  (You SubTardians ignore that last part – that would never apply to you anyway.  “Wise” is not how I would describe any of you.)
WordPress 4.0, apparently, ignores the ampersand-pound sign codes, and displays them as straight text.  Which, if I were to stay with it, would make this entire blog, from February 2005 on, totally unreadable.  Hence, the rollback to 3.92, until such time as WP fixes that bug.
(Murphy’s IT Law suggests that WP will consider it a feature, rather than a bug.  Which means I’m probably screwed, big time. (a little Dick Cheney lingo, there))
Which probably means this is my own personal “mene mene tekel upharsin”, y’think?

Not worried too much about WP updates anymore, heck my blog is still running on WP 3.8.1 so you can see I’m even more deficient than you’ve been. But in my defense, Generalette Jr. has been occupying a goodly deal of our free AND not-so-free time.
FYI, once again you’re getting plenty of advance warning so don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
Myself, the Generalette, and Generalette Jr. will resume our Inspection Tour of our northern defense perimeter the weekend after Thanksgiving. I suggest you get your troops prepared because if you thought the Generalette or myself are a stickler for order and regulation compliance, wait till the Generalette Jr. gets finished with you!!!! Notice is given.

Ouuuuut-standing!!!!  Block out a little extra time and you get to see the new house!  I’ll make some Train Wreck Stew™ & cornbread! Woo-hoo!!!
