Truman’s home page features the following photo:

I can only assume that lamp cost $75,000 dollars.

My first day of work at Paradigm New Media Group (hereafter referred to as PNMG) is behind me, and I’m very happy to say that it’s everything I wanted it to be. An open, creative, fun work environment with friendly, entertaining and like-minded people makes a world of difference.

Also, I have a new theory: you can tell a lot about a company by how they name their servers. Examples:

• Truman State University names their servers after elements and precious metals (hydrogen, silver, etc.)
• My previous, cubicle-rich employer picked seemingly arbitrary letter and number combinations (QXL87, etc.)
• PNMG uses comic book characters.

You tell me who you’d rather work for.

There are some odd things going on with my WordPress installation. The two main issues I’ve noticed are

1. I am unable to upgrade to the latest release, even when I manually overwrite every file via FTP and
2. My theme seems to randomly reset itself to the default

I’m a little spooked. Are there such things as web-poltergeists?

Update (01/19/08): Turns out I was making a rather silly mistake. I was copying all of the new WordPress files into my root directory instead of the appropriate /blog directory. Oops! That might explain a few things. We’ll see if the crazy behavior now subsides.
