tala @ so-phobic

So it’s Day 2 at Accenture, and I’m dealing with blocked sites. _Everything_ is blocked. And I mean everything. Even the FTP to so-phobic is blocked. Heck, even the download link for SmartFTP is blocked. I can’t upgrade to Wordpress 2.0.5 and customize my theme. This pastel theme is getting sickening. Don’t you think so?

Compare it to this, my old wordpress.com account. Isn’t it cute? The header image was created by my uber talented guildmate, Pau, also known around Midgard as Suffrie. I wanted to use the same theme and the same header, of course, for this site, but I couldn’t get any decent FTP client. And then I realized that I could just shut this down altogether and use WP.com so that I don’t have to worry about version upgrades, server maintenance, etc. I can still play with Wordpress when I have the time and not have to worry about maintenance. I don’t think I’ll be moving out of LJ anytime soon. I just miss my WP.

So I used wordpress.com’s Domain Mapping feature to get boonehfiedgeek.com. Paid thru PayPal. Niftyness. Up next: upgrade this to 2.0.5 so that I can export all my entries here and then import them over to WP.com. Thank the gods IBM doesn’t use a proxy or block about 80% of the Internet. Still, I’m grateful this one isn’t blocked. I’m dying of boredom.
