Step aside, Nicole Kidman. You too, Angelina Jolie. ‘Cos Mama WordPress has just given birth to a bouncing baby boy. Weighing in at 2.6 lbs, mother and baby are doing fine.
Baby WordPress better watch its back, though, ‘cos I’m sure Mama WP’s gotten herself all knocked up again and 2.7’s on its merry little way.
No shame, woman. No shame.
One word. Contraception. (or will hackers do the job just as well?)
As I’ve mentioned briefly in a previous post or two, I’m really not one to thirst for new technology. My breath doesn’t depend on it. I like to let new versions stew in some vinegar for a while before I try it (if I ever do). In the meantime, I’m quite happy to see other people offer up their souls at the guinea-pig altar. I’ll even line the bottom of the New-Version-X mountain with loads of pink pillows when they jump off.
I find the constant WP updates a pain, like a kid that has to constantly move from town to town and reacquaint himself with new schools, new friends, new bullies, etc. every 6 months or so. Always the new kid on the block.
The new features WordPress offers are helpful but it makes me wonder why they didn’t think of (and act on) some of these in the first place. For example, everyone and their chihuahua knows that the new word-count feature should have been in place since the year 1907. If you’d given me a ton of Lego, I would have built that feature myself.
If you do plan on upgrading to 2.6 (or is it 2.7? I get so very confused these days), I shall pray for you. If you see a slight glow round your keyboard, that’s my prayer taking effect.
Have a good weekend, my friend, with or without WordPress.
