I’m visiting Australia for business. This is only my second trip down here but last time I was relegated to Surfer’s Paradise and Brisbane. Great, beautiful beaches but it was still a beach.

I’m doing a major upgrade of WordPress and was doing it in a sandbox. Unfortunately it needed to upgrade the database table structure. I really didn’t feel like copying and renaming tables and shit so I upgraded the main table structure and made my sandbox active. Sorry for the horrific interface hopefully [...]

EUROPEANS HEIGHTEN THREAT LEVELS
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have [...]
