Tomorrow, Wordpress 2.3 will be released. You’ll need to sit down for this exciting list of things that happened here while getting ready for the release:

1. Lost my database without creating a backup.
2. Deleted my theme, thinking I had an up-to-date local copy.
3. Tried to configure my blog at blog.joshgomez.com, only to give up after wasting my entire Saturday because of my stubbornness to have a specific set of rules for my URLs and only knowing enough about mod_rewrite to feel like it was possible if I just kept searching for that regular expression and figure out the new way Wordpress handles canonical addresses.

I am glad all of these things happened, because I would have nothing else to do this weekend since my paycheck never showed up in my account and we recently cut our cable television. My keyboard is so dirty after all of this, I think I’ll soak it in the bath tonight.
