Still plagued by the missed schedule bug

Ugh – bleeding Wordpress is still missing my scheduled posts.
That is why you are getting them in lumps of twos and threes.

Tried different solutions to no avail.
Will have to just put up with it and wait for version 2.9.3 I guess.

Plagued by “missed schedule” problem

Hi everyone,

If you have been wondering why I have been quiet the past week (and several weeks prior), it is because I have been experiencing scads of “Missed Schedule” problems with Wordpress.

I will (again) reschedule the missed posts and attempt this fix.

Have a great week!

Less is more – a great weight loss campaign

My friend Carolyn Lee came up with a brilliant personal weight loss campaign. This is what she had to say about it:

A couple of years ago I went hard and lost 15kg. Unfortunately thanks to kilo creep, about 7 of those have snuck back on over the last year and a half.

I had a brainwave to motivate myself to lose the weight once …
