- Friday, August 14, 2026 12:21 AM: Blog Updated to WordPress v7.0.4
-
Just updated my blog to WordPress v7.0.4 which is a security release addressing an issue with Imagik. 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 here seems to have gone well. 🙂

General Information
-
Background: I was born on June 6, 1969 in Wichita Falls, TX, but grew-up in Edmond, OK, including going to Edmond High School there.
Current Occupation: It's a secret.
Before my present job, I was: a bank teller, Interned/Co-oped with IBM down in Southlake, TX at their Performance Evaluation Center programming Remote Terminal Emulators, and then worked for the State of Oklahoma in the Department of Vital Statistics (birth/death certificate stuff) for awhile, then spent 13 years working for Creative Labs, Inc starting out as a Technical Support Agent and ending up as a PC Technician/Help Desk Support in the IT Department.
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.
Radio Station I mostly listen to is the Classic Rock station KRXO 104.5 FM, followed by: KJ-103 and Rock 100.5 the KATT., all out of Oklahoma City, OK.
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.
