Humbling

Posted on Monday 31 January 2005

I have gathered the majority of what I know about computers, servers, routers, etc. from the School of Hard Knocks (”break, learn, fix, repeat”), but I did not want to take that approach with my shiny new site.

Enter my dear friend Jenn. As someone who has been using WordPress on her site for quite a while, she has been instrumental in getting this site up and running.

Putting all this together has been an experiment in learned humility thus far. Dammit, I built Jenn’s PC for her…how can she know more about this stuff than me? This is one of the irrational thoughts with which I had to wrestle. It may seem perfectly logical to most people to learn from those with more experience, but it can be hard for a crabby old geek to accept tutelage from someone who was in 8th grade when he got his first “real” PC-related job. Sad but true.

Here is the best quote from her thus far:

Let’s take baby steps into the world of WordPress. LOL

I’ve been reduced to baby steps. Oh well. I suspect it is good for me.

    Now damnit, I’m just trying to keep you from making my mistakes. How many times have I lost complete websites trying to update or play with settings?

    No need to throw age in there either you old fart :)

    Don’t think your help is unappreciated, Jenn, because it is a great help. All I am saying is that it can be tough for me to accept help at times.
