The Server Became Self-Aware

By Matt Sussman | Jan 29, 2008 | Filed Under Tech Issues

yaaaaaaaa.jpgIf my old server had the chance, it would have tried to tried anthropomorphizing into a Sussmanlike clone and usurp my girlfriend. It would have led to her standing atop a building trying to figure out which Sussman to shoot dead. I’m glad we were able to avoid such an outcome.

So this was the perfect time to uproot the old design and upgrade WordPress to 2.0 (finally). If you have any suggestions, feedback, or if something just dudn’t look right in the browser, just let me know.

As for the archives, well, they are somewhat kinda saved. I’ll try to put them back up whenever I get to it. Although some hilarious images may have been lost, I do seem to have all of the text. So that’s something. But I’m pretty sure this won’t happen again. In fact, I think this is the last we’ll hear from that dirty old server.

[meanwhile, in a landfill somewhere, the camera softly zooms into a heap of rubbish, centering on an old hard drive, which suddenly begins blinking furiously to a horror movie ditty]

    Looks good from here. I dig the new color scheme, as well as the new listing of your other crap.

    That YouTube vid of the German kid having a tantrum and destroying his keyboard would go great with this post. But what the hell do I know?

    And what is that blinking light behind me?

    *turns around*

    AHHHHHHHHHH!

    Just my two cents…

    I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hate WP 2.0. I mean seriously hate it. With a passion.

    About as much as I hate the Patriots.
