I drank cold coffee this morning
This happens more often than I care to admit. We have a french press because my husband likes to have these little morning rituals like grinding his coffee beans and boiling the water and plunging the plunger and sitting down to one perfect cup of coffee. Me, I just want caffeine so some mornings — like today — I just drink the cold coffee he left in the press instead of going through the bother of making more. Some mornings I’m just that desperate. If I really cared I’d make up a new batch or go drag our old, convenient coffee maker out of the basement but I think of cold coffee as a gift horse — why look it in the mouth? It’ll get me moving even if it tastes like old socks. I’m not picky. Put enough cream and sugar in there and you can’t even tell it’s been sitting on the counter for a couple of hours. I’m just wishing he left enough for two cups so I wouldn’t have to decide whether I should stay groggy or go through the bother of brewing more.
WordPress 2.7 is about to come out and I’m trying to decide whether or not to approach my clients and offer upgrades. It’s a huge change and for some of my clients, it may not be worth it. It might break their themes and likely some of their plugins and the interface is so different that it might also send them on a whole new learning curve. My typical client doesn’t love the backend of technology, which is why they hire me to make it easy-peasy for them. I think some of ‘em ought to just stay put if they like how their site is functioning. I need to look into how to turn off the pink “hurry up and upgrade!” warning bar that shows up in WordPress so that I could offer that as a service, too. I mean if you know you’re going to stick with 2.6, you don’t need to get hollered at every single time you login to your site.
I’m thinking I need to give it more time and test it out on some of my false installs to make sure that the common plugins I use work and also test out some of my clients’ themes. That way I’ll know ahead of time if the upgrade would make sense for them.
I’m even hesitant to upgrade here just yet because I’ve had trouble making giant upgrade leaps what with my blog being so big. I need to have enough time to back everything up four hundred different ways and time is precious right now. And when I type right now, I mean right NOW because Madison is calling with some small disaster (I think she’s got her shirt all twisted so she can’t get it on right — it’s driving her insane).
Here’s a concept: be on the lookout for a 4-cup coffee maker. Some couples have separate bank accounts, you and Brett can have separate coffee accounts.
God. Sometimes I just want to buy things for you, I swear.
Leslie, I have one! I have a nice Krups coffee maker but why haul it out of the basement and use valuable counter space? I’m just that lazy! (And unpicky!)
Dawn,
Update the css (/wp-admin/wp-admin.css) to hide it.
Provided you’ve not made any changes to the existing wp-admin CSS file, it starts at line 557 #update-nag, .plugin-update
It currently says:
#update-nag, .plugin-update {
line-height: 29px;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
}
Edit it to say this:
#update-nag, .plugin-update {
line-height: 29px;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
display:none;
}
You’re adding ‘display:none;’ to the end.
This will keep the upgrade nag (the little bar) from showing.

Brandy, you are a goddess among women! (But you knew that, right??)
Microwave?
awww how very kind! Always glad to help when I can
Nope! We had one in the old house but not this one!
Dawn, you crack me up, writing stuff about “that’s just how lazy I am” or however you put it, because I’m that way about a lot of things too, but I often don’t admit it. I should more, though, because at heart, I’m very lazy about a whole bunch of things. The things that I’m not lazy about, I’m pretty neurotic about.
I think that makes me a candidate for a lifetime of therapy, maybe, but that’s OK. I always do like talking about myself for a good hour or so. Heh.
