Our son, Julian , just got out of the hospital, after being confined ( again ) for what appeared at first as severe cough and fever. He was diagnosed with pneumonitis on both lungs. His doctor also said he has also acquired asthma. We spent a total of six days in the hospital. I can tell you that despite the creature comforts that the hospital provides, there's still no substitute to lying down in your own bed or playing in the yard with the kids. We all missed being home. Now that we're back home, hopefully, Julian and his kuya, Gabriel, will settle in to their routine. For Julian, it would be waking up early (at around five AM), play a bit in his crib before getting his mom or yaya's attention for his first meal of the day. The only deviation now is that he has to take a puff from a measured dose inhaler twice a day, along with a battery of antibiotics and other meds.

I know, it's supposed to be a tumblelog , but what the heck. I was able to squeeze out one for another domain I maintain: iandexter.com . It was supposed to be for side projects, but since I'm neck-deep in work, I decided to make it a launch pad for my "presence" in the internet. But why stop there?

Coredump's Archives page is borked. My move from 2.2x to 2.3.1 updated the WP tables. However, since I'm using a "legacy" theme, the table references (particularly to wp_categories ) hosed that page. The table wp_categories has been supplanted by wp_terms , wp_term_relationships , and wp_term_taxonomy . Nothing that a simple SQL query change can't remedy. So instead of SELECT COUNT(1) FROM $wpdb->categories I wrote SELECT COUNT(1) FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy='category' Still broken, though. I need to change this theme real soon. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor the energy. *sigh* I guess I'd have to endure with this for a few more days (hopefully not weeks).
