I’m happy to be heading closer to home and living outside of D.C. isn’t such a bad thing either.

Now if I could only find a packing fairy, that’d be great!

With the use of the Custom Fields and custom templates, I was able to provide a solution that changed WordPress from a blogging platform into a user-friendly CMS.

Boy, was I ever wrong. Now my Mac is having a slumber party at my local Apple Store in the capable (?) hands of their ‘Geniuses.’ Sadly, I knew the problem going in but only after I totally disabled my laptop.

It would seem that while installing the Leopard OS, it does some very stringent testing on the RAM. I looked at all the specs and my Powerbook PC met them but what Apple doesn’t state on their site is that Leopard has some issues with non-OEM RAM. In other words, if you have non-Apple RAM installed on your machine, you may not be able to install Leopard. The current solution from the ‘Geniuses’ is to use another machine to install Leopard from. So the lesson here is to make sure you have some OEM RAM in case you need it to install Leopard because it’s not very forgiving during installation. Rumor has it once installed, there are no problems. Funny how that works. Unfortunately, it has left me without a work machine for two days (and counting).

It is too time consuming and cost prohibitive for the client and myself. Plus, I just don’t enjoy it.

Here are a couple of links to firms who offer this service.

  1. Bandspaces
  2. Pearse Street

Not all aspects are up and running. For example, the portfolio section isn’t completed (but will be soon).

I felt it was time to move away from my old design and go forward with a new one. Obviously, there will be bugs and things I need to work out, so if you come across any weirdness, please let me know.
