Updated the main site software to WP 2.6 last week when it was released and so far everything appears to be going great, with no issues or problems.

Also updated the Galley2 software to release 2.3rc1 last night and finished running the upgrade scripts this morning before leaving for work. Again no major problems once everything had been converted, there was a short time when the front page wasn’t displaying the random image on the site, but that was fixed fairly easily.

On another note, Jessie had her birthday on last Sunday and I will be uploading some pictures from the day and also possibly a video or two once I find my firewire cable again, so I can get the video off the camera.

So keep an eye out for that.

Just saw this story on the SMH about water being found by the latest Martian probe from NASA.

The spacecraft’s robotic arm has dug several trenches in the Martian soil near the planet’s north pole and been heating soil samples in a series of small “ovens.”

It had earlier spotted chunks outside the rover that scientists had identified as ice, but data sent back by the most recent soil sample for the first time showed water inside Mars’ dirt, researchers said.
