I’m at a stand still on my “Starving African Man” 3D model. I’m currently waiting to get my Wacom tablet back to do the final detailing. Using a mouse is simply frustrating. So I started on another base model. This is a few hours of work. I really need that Wacom tablet!

I’m pretty sure that I posted my experience on backing up my Wordpress based web site. For some reason, it didn’t seem to show up here. Maybe I posted it in another forum. Oh well.

The backup experience was fairly easy. At first I tried using a program called “wpBackup”, but it proved to be too complicted for the task. I had installed it about two months ago. Just recently I installed the much better “WP-DBManager”. This program is simplicity itself. Its feature set is very acommidating. It now have the app backup my daTo tabase locally on server, and email me a copy to Gmail account.

As for the other files, I just transfer them back to my laptop every week or two. That’s about it.

Personally and professionally, Ive worked on a few web pages before. Right now, I really don’t know what I can mess with and I’m swimming in a sea of alien code. Every time I get a bit of courage, it is quickly drown by the shear size of what I have to do. I’m going to try a few marathon tutorial session before it’s too late.

Thankfully I seem to be remembering quite a few things that I had forgotten. I think in the next few days I should have complete integration with Dreamweaver, then I’ll really be able to finesse things. Or so I think. We shall see…
