Seems that Twitter's embedded timelines are just coming back with "Nothing to see here" messages which is wrong so I've disabled it for now. Can view my tweets at @mrheadrick.

- Thursday, November 9, 2023 3:17 PM: Blog Updated to WordPress v6.4.1
-
Just updated my blog to WordPress v6.4.1 which is a maintenance release fixing 4 regressions introduced in version 6.4. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.
My TwentyTwelve parent theme was not updated so I did not have to worry about anything affecting my child theme. So far the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

Just updated my blog to WordPress v6.4 which is a sizable update that I'll let you read about. It did include a new Twenty Twenty-Four theme which I may or may not check out. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.
My TwentyTwelve parent theme was also updated to version 4.1. Doing a file comparison, I only needed to modify a single line in the header.php file of my child theme. So far the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

Current residence: Edmond, OK currently. Before I lived in Oklahoma City, OK. If you want to know where Oklahoma City is in Oklahoma, or if you want to see what other internet resources there are in Oklahoma, click Oklahoma. Here's another site for info about what's in Oklahoma City.
Graduated May '92 with a Bachelor of Science in Computing and Information Sciences from Oklahoma State University.
Hobbies: Computing and all that stuff, Music, Movies, Snow Skiing (it's been awhile since I've been :/ ), Chatting on the internet (generally while working on our website or programming), and goofing off.

I have one sister, Jill, who got her PhD in Physical Chemistry, researching the atmospheric chemistry of alkylperoxy radicals (believe I got that right.. has to do with lasers, studying molecular behavior of various gases, CO2 and Ozone among others).. at the University of Colorado She's now a Research Associate at the University of Kansas.

Website was created with HomeSite v4.5. After Macromedia purchased HomeSite I stopped upgrading. It seems to do the things I want.. so why upgrade? Also, some aspects of version 4.5 that I use on occasion were removed from later versions.
