Oh joy! I get an excuse to talk about something else other than tech for a while. For the past few days, my skin seems to have been plagued with what resembles a nasty case of chicken pox, except that it’s restricted to certain regions, such as my hands (like I’m wearing weird lumpy gloves), my back, my feet, and occasionally popping up on my thighs. In addition to that, my lips have managed to achieve a stunning level of dryness and chap(piness?), as well as maintain a constant bleeding throughout the day. Seriously, how do you do that in a tropical country where skyjuice is plentiful? I snapped a picture of it whilst on the way to a charity fun fair this morning, of which I won’t mention details about. (oh, the picture doesn’t do its bark-like quality with oozing blood any justice. In fact, it makes it look redder than it really is – should be brown. Shame.)
It’s all a bit nasty and I wasn’t quite sure what caused it until a visit to the clinic this morning. Because it’s not exactly the smartest thing to announce “hey guys, here are my medical records, look how cool they are!” online, the most I can say is that I pretty much don’t like any sort of painkiller that exists. So any future muscle aches that occur … well, I’ll just have to sit it out and endure. Funnily enough, I actually had a dream about a week ago that I would get this sort of allergic reaction. It seems to have come pretty realistically true. Right down to the minute details of which figure would be the most swollen with lumps. On other news, I will be flying off to the U.K. on Thursday, but don’t expect that to curb the flow of creative blog posts (this one exempted), as I’ve got quite a bit to show.
On other news, I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 2.7. However, this isn’t just any upgrade, it’s an awesome upgrade. That’s because I now get a cooler backend for managing thinkMoult. The whole design looks all beefed and faster to access stuff. Take a look if you don’t believe me:
Along with the upgrade, the flash upload now works again for me (no more tedious click, upload, reload, click), as well as new thumbnail sizes for adding images … there are probably a lot of new features I haven’t noticed yet, but all the same, I’m excited. It’s a new toy, it’s a new thang, it’s awesome.
Rethinking my post, it probably wasn’t a good idea to mix sickness and software together.
