daily photo: nb/ctown meetup

completely random that I ended up drinking with Kiya and his wedding party last night in my hood, some crazy shit went down, oh man… the highlight was definitely the “eagle”, that was some fucked up shit…

Don’t think I will be able to post a daily photo later today, so I’m putting up this one of Kiya and one of the YoYo Nation guy from NYC, he is a yoyo legend, crazy yoyoing steez (I got a vid of him yoyoing but I need to rotate the clip before I youtube it)… ISO 1600 with the F50fd, not too bad…

daily photo: gonzo

Didn’t get a chance to take a real photo today, but managed to snap a few with the F50fd while I waited to get Kiya’s wedding gift gift-wrapped at Bloomingdales. So here’s my attempt at gonzo photography. 🙂

daily photo: kiya’s wedding yoyo

Congrats to Demitra and Kiya, party at Bimbo’s is gonna be sick! And I live a few blocks away so I should be able to walk home even if I get hella wasted. I had a photoshoot with Kiya with his custom denim tux, it was made with the same denim used in Flathead jeans like the 3001. His shoes were Flathead cordovan leather shoes. Shirt and tie were custom made as well, plus vintage Dior cuff links. The details on the suit is amazing, I have all pics from the shoot posted at my Flickr.

More details about the suit and everything in Kiya’s thread at Superfuture.

WordPress upgraded to 2.3 via Subversion

This is the only way to upgrade WordPress besides using the latest snapshot:

ayn@NGBERT:~/.../wordpress.svn>svn info
Path: .

...
Updated to revision 6170.

go to /wp-admin/upgrade.php and perform a database upgrade.

blog at version 2.3.

But of course life is never this easy, when I went into /wp-admin after the upgrade, it kept asking for me to go to /upgrade.php again, I instrumented the code and looked like in /admin/admin.php get_option(‘db_version’) returned 5183 and $wp_db_version was 6124.

In /version.php I see:

$wp_db_version = 6124;

so the app was at the right version, but the db was at 5183 somehow. I went into MySQL and did a “select option_value from wp_options where option_name=’db_version’;” and it returned 6124, so wtf?!

at this point, I realized I was using memcached with my blog, restarted memcached and apache, now it’s all good.
