My geek panties are wet: finally, WordCamp Philippines! Damn right I’ll be there, if only to have my photo taken with the most important Matt in the world.
I remember the first time I introduced myself to WP: it was the day Pope John Paul died. It was foreign and all gibberish and no amount of reading the documentation helped. I absolutely hated it. An entry about WordPress I wrote three years ago, after a couple of weeks of trying to make sense out of it:
I FUCKING HATE WORDPRESS FOR BEING SO FUCKING COMPLICATED WITH ITS PHP AND FUCKED UP CODES. YOU TWEAK IT AND IT WORKS FINE AND THEN YOU DO SOMETHING ELSE AND THE PREVIOUS CUSTOMIZATION FUCKS THE FUCK UP AND SO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER LIKE A FUCKING PHILLIPS COMMERCIAL OR HOWEVER THE FUCK YOU SPELL IT, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE FIRST CUSTOMIZATION JUST SO IT’D LOOK THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT REALLY, IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK THAT FUCKING WAY BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING ELSE BUT BECAUSE IT’S FUCKED UP AND BECAUSE WORDPRESS SUCKS MICHAEL JACKSON’S COCK YOU HAVE TO MAKE DO WITHOUT THE PRETTIFYING CUSTOMIZATION.
GOD, THIS WORLD SUCKS.
I ran back to my LJ overrides after that. I gave WordPress another shot a year later. It’s been two years and here I am, absolutely in love with it. So devoting a whole Saturday to nothing else but WP? Awesomecakes.

Hi, I'm Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 25 and in the process of learning how to make adventurous life choices. I dislike old people but I love grandma clothes. My goal in life is to build a ball pit right next to my bed. Currently searching for the perfect house coat. My lover is the greatest. 
er…making your pannies wet is my job, mkae?

Ooh I would love to attend something like that! But I think I’d be too shy.. I’m a harsh introvert in real life unless I’m with my close friends (and because I’m too lazy and don’t like talking if I don’t have to).
My only peeve with WP is that their updates always disable old plugins!! That’s why I refuse to upgrade (I’m still using 2.3.x).

HAH! You have always been funny, Helga.
The day that the pope died, I remember that I was still using haloscan.
I’ve been using haloscan for a very long time and until a year ago I decided to do WordPress.
I still have trouble creating my own WP theme, it’s hard =/

That would be cool to go to something like that.
I’m with Katy on their upgrades.. I’m using 2.5 but it seems just like yesterday they came out with it and now they already have 2.6! I’m so lazy when it comes to upgrading.

[Reply]
See ya. Hopefully, I’ll be able to attend.

wordpress in the olden days (circa 2003) often gave mysql errors when one upgraded. It’s so much better now.
