According to the Guinness Book of Records, the longest-lived animal was an Arctica clam found in 1982 aged 220.

Unofficially, another clam - found in an Icelandic museum - was discovered to be 374-years-old, Bangor University said, making their clam at least 31 years older.

I guess the little ones really know how to adapt to the changing ‘clam-ates’ and avoid any ‘clam-ities’!

November 17, 2007 is black rose day.

Fine. I’m insensitive, I’m a jerk, I do things on impulse, I’m pushy, and I have mood swings. So I’m not perfect. But that’s me.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

– Enrique Iglesias

I just signed up for “The Best Web Hosting Offer Ever”, and to me it just sounds too good to be true:

With 95 USD you get professional web hosting for life. No other costs, you’ll never have to pay for upgrades, there are no catches (well maybe just one: we will not give away more than 1000 Rudolfs).

• 250 GB disk space – that’s huge!
• 3000 GB speed - that’s insanely fast! (guys, if 3000 GB refers to the monthly bandwidth allocation, then it has absolutely NOTHING to do with speed — Dennison)
• 1 Free domain registration !
• Host as many domains as you like,
• create as many subdomains!
• Unlimited MySQL and much more!

Those who frequent this site may have noticed that I did a little cleanup in the categories list. I had some difficulty searching for a tool to merge categories. Entering “Wordpress merge category” did not give me the results I was looking for, and for a while I contemplated writing my own. Halfway through studying how to do this I decided to give it one more shot and luckily landed on this website, containing the Extended Categories Manager plugin for WordPress. I was saved.

Installing went without a snitch. Dropped the file into the plugins folder and I was ready to go. I only needed the Merge Categories feature, so I did not fiddle with the “Quick Edit Category” area. I assume this allows you to rename and change the alias of a category.

If you’re looking a tool to merge categories in WordPress, this tool is all you’ll ever need.

You may deceive all the people part of the time,
and part of the people all the time,
but not all the people all the time.
