Holy old wordpress database Batman!

I seem to have spent most of this evening trying to import a database from my old college final year project blog to this new installation of wordpress… well that and making a vat of spag bol.

Anyway my old FYP blog got hacked at some stage a few years ago. My database itself was not affected but the wordpress installation it seems bit the dust. So I just decided to uninstall wordpress at that stage as I had no need for it anymore. However I did keep my database entires with the notion that one day I’d sort it all out and get everything up and running again. However getting the database hooked up to the newest version of wordpress wasn’t as easy as I thought. I did a bit of a searching on wordpress forums trying to find a solution but turned out that I was the only gobshite who seemed to be struggling with this issue. Anyway long story short is that there is no solution. I was forced to just copy and paste all my entries in my database into new posts. I even found the old images and such that I used in my old blog and added them too. It was a total pain, but now at least I have my old FYP blog is up and running. At least now it’s intergated with my multi-site wordpress installation which should make life alot easier.

I seem to be quite serious in this entry today…. I just can’t be sure how I feel about that. I’ve changed…

I started my masters last Wednesday… well it was an induction day where I got to meet half of the class… have no idea where the other half where. Still it was so exciting to be finally beginning this masters. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time now…. NERDDDDDD! I don’t think I have anything else to say about college at this stage. Think I’m tried… I’m normally much cooler than this… that’s what my mammy says anyway. She wouldn’t lie to me, I’m sure of it! Classes offically begin on Monday so we’ll see how I get on….

I think that’s all the words I can conjure up for the time being,

Peace Off!

Finally…

So I’ve had this blog up and running for about two years and yet have never posted anything up on it. Got too busying CSSing the crap out of wordpress and after I achieved the look I was after I gave up. Designing the blog is the best part anyway.. and you knowsss it!

So anyway decided to put up a post, and it’ll probably be the last post too knowing what I’m like. I’m starting a part-time assisitive technology masters in september so I figure this might be a good place to blog what I’ve learnt… wow that’ll make for some interesting reading I’m sure!?!?!

I haveĀ  a Tech Blog on this site too. I thought it’s be good place to put CSS tutorials and tips ‘n’ tricks. It was a nice idea but never got around to actually doing it. I try to stay away from computers now when I get home from work. 8 hours a day of CSSing and the likes is enough for anyone. Oh anyway the tech blog got hacked, so I just deleted it. I haven’t decided what to do about it so I’m leaving the broken link in the menu bar for now.

I also had a good Final Year Project blog that I created 3 years ago. I have all the database entries anyway just haven’t hooked it up to a front end yet. I’ll get that up one day… I’m sure…

Hmmm… I can’t think of anything else to say for now. Might put some more photos up in my gallery at some stage too. No harm in that. But for now I’m turning off my laptop. I mean it’s saturday for god sake. I’m such a NERDDDDD!
