marcicatEvery once in a while wordpress pops up a little message on my screen, letting me know there’s a new version available, and would I please update, like, now?
As far as I can tell, there are three options for how this upgrade works:
1. Everything is fine.
2. The upgrade fails, leaving me with the uneasy feeling that I’ve done something very, very wrong that will come back to bite me later.
3. My journal is deleted.
After the Great Upgrade Kerfluffle of 2010, which was resolved with a great deal of work by starandrea and outside internet wizards, I’ve been coasting along with option 1, but I still get nervous when I hit the button.
Today, an update — here’s the text you see when you say ‘Yes, Please Update Without Deletion Pretty Please With Cherries And Whipped Cream.”
Unpacking the update…
Verifying the unpacked files…
Installing the latest version…
Upgrading database…
(loooooooooooooooooooooong pause)
WordPress updated successfully
::triumphant glee:: Really, you’d think they could at least put some exclamation points after that last bit.
