A new concept has just launched – Relevant Quotes. String a bunch of quotes together by a given person or within a theme and I’ll have a post. [tag]Seth Godin[/tag] is the first [tag]Relevant Quotes[/tag] post.

So this [tag]Tweet[/tag] from guy made me think a little, as software folks do you take your jargon home? I’m pretty sure that when I coach my home team I use words which are more appropriately used in the [tag]workplace[/tag]:
“Kevren, I need you to action those items as discussed, your room clearly needs to be cleaned up ASAP”
“Dijouri, as you reflect on the incident at school with the spelling test; do you feel their was an opportunity for improvement? How are you efforting those items which you feel you can do better on? Going forward I think you should remember those items and drive to closure the gaps in expectations.”
“Prescott – while I certainly appreciate the flurry of activity, I need you to appreciate that results are more important than activity”
“Guys – we said we were going to the skate park — no scope creep. We can do the movies tomorrow.”
“As part of your bonus plan kids, we need to layout our 3 objectives for the week to get an incremental budget allocation to support your newly surfaced expense needs for the next week.”
“Emily — I’m currently efforting that initiative, it is my expectation I will close on taking the garbage out on or before COB tomorrow.”
“Dijouri, not sure I like the look and feel of that tinker toy creation”
I guess the upside is my kids will quickly be acclimated to corporate America, downside is their friends look at them weird when they say things like “at the end of the day, I just want to play my wii and I am willing to accept the trade offs associated with that decision.”
As for such – speak with my wife, it just doesn’t work. I’m just flat out told to “speak English”.
So I originally wrote a very short upgrade post on my upgrading to WordPress 2.3 and declared it a CRAZY success, the good news it went well, except it wasn’t install and go. I did how ever prove that nothing is un-doable with a little patience. So my recommendations:
1. Actually backup your database: I spent 30 minutes worried, that I was essentially in a do over mode. I had the exported the XML file, but that’s not all that’s necessary. So for piece of mind, do it.
2. Follow the instructions: I deactivated all the plugins, but reactivated them all at once. It took me a while to realize that my google site map doesn’t work. So I’ll find a new one.
3. Not all tagging systems are importable, but you do get a tag cloud.
4. You may need to edit your template to show associated tags and remove whitespace from some random include file I have already forgot – sry. Bring your logic and php skills team.
So I have two minor questions:
1. Anyone know of a conversion tool for SimpleTags, a plugin for Technorati tags?
2. So should I display my tags in a post or just in the cloud?
I’m still a very please wordpress user, since their instructions were correct and they have created a true productized upgrade. I was able to clean up some of my categories as well.
