Pain

October 14th, 2007 by Kev

Dear Blog,

sorry I have been neglecting you for the last few weeks, it is no excuse but I simply couldn’t face typing some mundane things and as usual mundane things are all that has really been happening to me recently. I have also been busy with work. There have been times that I have been working day and night to get things prepared for the new system going live at the end of this week.

I also have to confess I have been unfaithful and have flirted with Facebook, I hope you can forgive me. We have a long history and I am sure we can work things out and I am willing to give you the time we need to make this work. I also have to apologize to Flickr as I have lots of photos from the summer that I have not got around to uploading.

I am currently in a lot of pain as I have wrenched my right shoulder. Any movement of my right shoulder has to be slow and careful. Sitting back in a chair is painful and leaving forward again is worse. As is typical with such things I have no idea what happened.

Kev

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to see the uniqueness within, under, and surrounding the mundane, and write about what you find. Though your shoulder pain is inevitably going to overshadow attempts at creativity - though the diary of a man unable to proerply operate his right arm or the speculation as to what might have caused it has to be a potential spark of inspiration ;)

    Just realised that I posted a comment that really was more aimed at this post and for some reason I clicked some stuff and then started typing and WHOOSH! my words went to the older post I was re-reading.
    * sigh *

    I also used to get into trouble for daydreaming in class. :mrgreen:

    Hope your shoulder gets better soon. x

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to disturb you right here, but I have a question about your MyMooMus-plugin. I don’t know if you still answer questions about that, but the only thing I can do is try ;)

    So, I’ve installed the plugin long time ago (got the latest version) and I think it’s a great one!
    But I discovered that when I type the title of a song, for example “Don’t Speak”, it is show on my blog as “Don/’t Speak”.
    So there’s a “/” that shouldn’t be there.

    Do you have a solution for that?

    Thx a lot!

    Grtz,
    Fran

    Hi Fran,

    it is missing a stripslashes() command somewhere, will check the code over the weekend.

    The latest version is 2.2, which is a beta but stable http://codingallhours.co.uk/2007/06/02/path-problem-beta/

    Hi Again Fran,

    actually the latest version is 2.34b1 and the stripslashes() were added in 2.33 so the version at the link abive should sort your problem. Previous version of wordpress striped the slashes but more recent ones don’t so i had to add it to the plugin code.
