I haven’t driven my car in over a week. Normally I’d catch the bus some days, but other days go for car convenience. It hasn’t been a planned decision not to drive it, but I just don’t want to spend over $1.80/L on petrol. So, increased petrol prices are good for the environment, and the buses have been fine so far. Others live pretty carless lives, it makes me wonder if I could get by without the car altogether. I should budget how much the car costs when it is not running, and what the alternatives are. I should also do a general budget. More stuff for my ToDo list.

WordPress 2.5.1 showed up in the Fedora Yum repository, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. Went pretty smoothly. I upgraded WPG2 to 2.3.0.5 while I was at it. The G2 button wasn’t showing up in the editor, but a cache clear has fixed that. I was worried about the theme, but it looks like it is all compatible. Still getting used to the new WordPress Dashboard, I guess it grows on you?

I also installed Finch on my server (rata). Finch is the text UI equivalent of Pidgin. Having a TUI messaging client is great, because I can use it over SSH.
