My current employer asked me to stay till January 16th 2009. I have accepted the offer as I still don't have a new position lined up. If you know anyone who needs an IT guy please drop me a line. I have experience in System Administration, Business Analysis, Unix and Windows Server Administration, Telephone System Administration (Audix and Definity by Avaya) and Networking Administration (Cisco). - Sean

Look for more posts soon now that I have WordPress working again. - Sean

A very good friend of mine who goes by "Mombii" has started her own blog.   She is a naturally funny writer with an interesting perspective.  Take a minute and check it out.  You can link to her blog by clicking here or by clicking the "Mombii Speaks" link in the Blogroll. - Sean

I have had a lot of post ideas the past couple of weeks, but I have also had an inoperative WordPress installation so I couldn't publish them.  After repeatedly impacting the keyboard with my forehead in frustration I found the following on the WordPress support forum

They [the files] need to be uploaded with an ftp client, in binary mode.

I checked my ftp client settings and sure enough I had been transferring my files using ASCII mode instead of binary mode.   UGH! Once I changed the settings and reloaded the WordPress files everything started working perfectly.  It feels good to be back in the saddle. - Sean
