Every time I upgrade Wordpress, I always get a little treat. This might have been included in previous versions, but I just noticed it with my upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 - the Backup plugin. All you do is activate it, go to Manage, click Backup, tell it where to go (I chose send by e-mail) and click Backup. 10 seconds later and I hate a fresh backup in my gmail inbox! That makes me smile!

I basically just wanted to post this for my own future reference so I can return Trey’s magazine back to him…
Spin Magazine published an article in their March 2006 issue called “The Next Big Things” that caught my attention. I’m always appriciative when I can find new music that sounds good, so I’ve been planning to check out some of these bands to see if they are worth a further listen. Problem is, I haven’t found the time yet and I still have my friend’s magazine! So, I’m going to try and list all the bands they have so I can use this post as a reference.
