a little geekiness and a decision

geekism introspection life military-spouse warm-fuzzies

My wordpress installation was acting funny since I upgraded to this latest version. I’d log into the dashboard and before it would finish loading the dashboard components, there would be an error saying that the amount of memory being allocated (or being attempted to allocate) was exceeded. There was no REAL indication what was causing the error. The file that the error was reporting from was a native wordpress include. So I thought about it for a while and concluded that the problem was most likely with a plugin since my other blog had no issues at all. It took me a while to work up the energy to fool around with them since I would need to do it one of these nights when I am just home from work, not in-game and in the mood to fool with it so that I impacted the least number of readers/viewers as possible (as if there are THAT many).

Well, I messed with a few plugins … namely the ones that are NOT on the other blog and found it was the plugin that found broken links. Yes that same plugin I wrote about not too long ago on that same other blog. Now, I can’t be sure whether the situation is that this plugin is just messing with another plugin or whether it is itself buggy. I don’t really care since it’s usefulness is short-lived anyway and I was pretty much done with it. As it is, I am just glad I can see my dashboard again.

Tonight, I came to a very difficult decision. It is a decision I have been agonizing over ever since I heard we may have to move. It is a decision that while made is going to be just as difficult to follow through on. What is this decision? I want to tell you SO bad, my dear readers. Some of you may already be in the know … the rest of you … /sigh I hope you’ll bear with me until I CAN tell you.

The point is that this life I have chosen – the life of a military spouse – is one that is fraught with all sorts of stresses and pressures and each and every time I realize this, I realize again just HOW much I am fully dedicated to the life. Folks, for someone who was once so fiercely independent, so adamantly a creature of habit and a consummate loner … this is a startling, mind-blowing realization. Love is a POWERFUL thing. And I am SO very lucky to have found it.

(EDIT: The issue does not exist on the other blog, yet the plugin is also installed there … so maybe the issue is, after all, an incompatibility with some OTHER plugin I have on here… hmm….)

(SECOND EDIT: The issue was made moot this morning (26th). I shall blog more on that in a later post.)
