Do me a favour…

When your laptop won't do Windows Update and refuses to install any Windows software, please, please, PLEASE check that your date is at least set to the current year, month and day before you ask your 'computer expert' friend to fix it for you.

Oh, Kevin Butler…

It seems Kevin Butler (@TheKevinButler) accidentaly re-tweeted a message he thought was a vague Battleships reference, but was in-fact the PS3's USB dongle ID generator key, with the challenge "Come at me" from now infamous Travis La Marr (aka @exiva).  Someone should really keep ol' Kevin up-to-date with recent events!

New website design, and CMS!

As you might have noticed, the website has undergone a rather radical change!

I finally decided to move my site root CMS off of Joomla, which is great for designing websites like www.galacticnavy.co.uk, but, for a more single-user, blog-orientated CMS, it was cumbersome, and took forever to post a simple update.  Joomla was never designed to be a blog, so I bit the bullet, and made the switch.

I've never installed, or tried out WordPress before today, but I've heard nothing but praise about it from the people I know who work with it.  From the 10 minutes I've spent setting it up, and messing with the settings, I can see that it is a fantastic little piece of software engineering!  I cannot understand why I didn't make the move earlier.

With that said, hopefully I'll no longer cringe when I want to write a post.

Hopefully...
