Who was it who said change should be incremental?

Obviously some lardy fool.

I managed to upgrade The Tinbasher to WordPress 2.5 on Saturday, albeit with a couple of oddities thrown in to panic me enough to polish the shiny pate of resolved despondency, but not quite enough that I panicked a hole through my pants.

But rather than bed it in and check to see if everything was fine and dandy, I did a cursory check of the important stuff, and all seemed present and correct.

Now although it seemed much leaner and zippier out of the box, instead of playing around I went out and bought a nice new HP M8430F Quad Core PC running a 64-bit version of Vista Premium . The bugger is frighteningly sharp.

So, running the new WordPress on it is something akin to a personal blogging nirvana.

Anyway, I’ve got a lot of media extending to do and other computers to transfer files from, so I’d better crack on. I have to sort out how incompatible some of the incompatibilities are with older versions of software that I’ve got. Not a huge learning curve, but it’s a bit of searching and head getting around - for want of a less peculiar phrase.

So, if you see anything freaking out on you, or you have any cute 64-bit Vista tips, do be a love and leave us a comment.
