The Next Step…

…is to upgrade to WordPress 2.5.

I know that doesn’t sound all that challenging, but you’re dealing with a world-class doofus here, and it’s likely I’ll mess it up quite thoroughly if I get it wrong. Me vs. Computers? Bet on the box of switches.

It’s typical of me to make progress only very slowly, in all areas of my life. The instantaneous changes that all the self-improvement gurus promise never works for me. It all comes very slowly, I plod along, and eventually I notice I’ve transformed without even noticing along the way. But day to day it’s so damn slow it is frustrating.

Figuring out how to upgrade will be a great step forward in this blogging project, but the thing is, to an outsider, no change would be apparent. The blog wouldn’t look any more elaborate just because I’ve made a few changes behind the scenes. But everything that follows will have to wait until that is done.

I know, I know — there are people who can handle the upgrade inside of ten minutes. Unfortunately, they’re not me…

Slow transformations are good - much better than those promised instaneous changes. If the changes come slowly, that means they usually are hard won and are sustainable.

Don’t be so frustrated! You’re doing well! I enjoy following your slow and steady progress . . .

The problem is that the transformation might be so slow that the time required to complete it may exceed the available lifespan.

Alacrity, dammit.
