Building a Computer
Before Thanksgiving I took the time to build a computer for a friend, well, his kids. They are not that old, so they don't need much, but I put the love and care into the cabling that I usually do only for my own computers.
Motherboard- Asus P5B
Processor- Intel E4500
RAM- 2x Corsair Value 1 gig sticks
Video Card- EVGA nVidia 7600 GT
Case- CM Elite 335
Nothing too advanced or complicated, but I had a lot of fun building a new computer on my own time.

New WordPress Installation
Manage Themes
For some reason my Theme manager went on the fritz and I couldn't get it to go back to normal (see picture). I changed the theme to the default and back, I changed permissions on my blog files in FileZilla from everything to 744 to 777 (I know 777 isn't good). Nothing seemed to work. I stumbled across a page that said it probably had something to do with database permissions and not having the write privilege on a certain db. I don't do my own db hosting so I did the next best thing: Create a new database with my host that WordPress could use. I created a new db user, created him a new database and copied the SQL contents over through phpMyAdmin, then I pointed my blog in the wp-config.php file to the new database location! With no luck.
I gave up reading through forums and did what any good computer nerd would do. Reformat! ...or the closest thing I could get to it. I exported my installation and imported it to a newly created subdomain with an even newer database. Thankfully WordPress is very cool and during the import process jumped over to my disfunctional blog and pulled all of its files (pictures, sounds, etc) so that the new install would be running in no time. After that the only thing I needed to do was grab my themes and plugins then change settings to how I wanted them, which didn't take much time at all.
Tools>Export,Import
Nevertheless if you notice any problems, tell me about it. This is a brand new install and I tried to make things pretty close to exactly the same as they were before, but that doesn't mean I got everything 100% correct.
