Also don’t forget - Girl from East Brunswick tonight!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

There is The Girl From East Brunswick fundraiser tonight @ The East Brunswick Club. I’m not that fussed about dogs generally, but I think if you have to like dogs, Greyhounds are pretty awesome (they’re almost cats), and it’s AIR CONDITIONED (though I’ve been told the band room will get pretty hot regardless, the Front Bar is apparently nice n coooool) and the delectable miss Rosy Rabbit is headlining the bill - and I’ll actually be able to relax and enjoy the show instead of running about like a headless chicken like I was @ Euchronia.

Who’s in? We’ll probably be getting there around 8-9ish :D

Whee! I think. Buddypress are go!

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

So, the issues got fixeded by my webhost and I took the plunge and upgraded to version 2.6.5 of WPMU for canhasjournal.com, and installed the beta of Buddypress as I threatened yesterday :)

Things seem to be moooostly functioning, and the Buddypress interface is quite slick, it just sits nicely up at the top of the page. I have added a bunch of people I could find blogs for but it doesn’t appear to be completely searchable yet - working on that :) Some of you may have received email for friend requests, whee! It’s a little bit Friendface-ey, but without the heavy monitoring. Now we just need a protocol to communicate & add friends etc from other WPMU and individual Wordpress blogs, as well as being able to read your rss feed, and this SN will take over zee world.

Off to experiment some more and see what may have been b0rken in the process (I’m expecting some plugins not to work now - Role Manager appears b0rken, but not a lot else, which is nice) … dum de dim de dee!
