It’s about books

One Forward, Two Backups

The end is NOT upon us (us, being website maintainers…) The upgrade to WordPress 3.0 is not fatal, as previously thought. Only a mild heart attack. Two actually: one for the website, and another for me before trying to get the thing back intact. Breathing a little easier now.

Backups!

There is a reason they call the process “Backup,” and you’ll be doing several of those maneuvers as a result. The blog upgrade advised to “Backup” first, which I hurriedly ignored, and since the upgrade failed, I’ve had to backup, backup, backup. As in one step forward, two steps backup. The fancy plugins are now gone from the website, along with the work involved in producing them in the first place. Ah well… if lessons were easily learned, we’d all know way too much.

Tulsa Too

At one time, the line between Tulsa and Broken Arrow was clear. It was a wide green area that wandered north to south, filled with trees, grasslands, and the occasional stock pond. Now – unless you know the history – it’s impossible to tell where the city ends and the suburb begins! Looking at the bookstore’s online geography, though – it appears that McHuston Booksellers serves only Broken Arrow: incorrectamundo. Not everyone says where they began the day, but visitors to the store have mentioned homes in Owasso, Claremore, Catoosa, Pryor (bit of a surprise there!), Bixby, Jenks, and of course – Tulsa, among others. We don’t have every book in the world in stock here, but then again, neither does any Tulsa area store. Come by and visit us. It’s a short drive from anywhere. Be sure to tell us where you’re from!
