Things going on at work

June 18, 2011 By: Mark Category: My stuff

I haven’t said much about things since Fiat picked up where Cerberus left off.

It’s been quite a ride and things are really improving. The philosophy now is to make cars and trucks that customers want, not cut back to save money. Things have improved so much the building is filled to capacity, there’s barely enough floorspace to put all the people that have been hired. There’s talk of looking at moving some non-engineering groups to outside facilities.
It’s been tough making some of the changes such as integrating with the Fiat system but much better than with Daimler.

Upgraded to WordPress 3.1.3

I sas always having a problem with the automatic update for WordPress. I finally read the codex and it suggested changing the server to use PHP 5.
I made that change and now it works great!
Duh, so easy.

Still getting comment spam and can’t get the plugin to work correctly, so I’m still screwing around with that.

I didn’t know this…

Dad passed away this morning.

It’s been coming slowly with his COPD and the morning at 6:30 was the end of it. Too bad I got here an hour late as I wanted to be here with him.

So what do you do when your dad has COPD and the doctor says it’s end stage COPD and there really isn’t anything more that can be done?
