Doing Things Wrong

WordPress 5.9

WordPress 5.9 just dropped. A 0.1 release like this always makes me nervous, but you can't hold back the tide, so I tested it on another site, and nothing broke. At least I haven't found anything yet. So I updated this site, and everything still works, at least at a glance.

Looks like, as usual, they just crammed a lot of new crayons in the box, nothing that I would use. Honestly, I am light-years ahead of them, and don't expect them to ever catch up. I just worry that their sideways upgrades will break something.

It's time to glue up some necks. First I radius-sanded the fretboards to 12 inches with my DIY sanding block. The StewMac board started with a 16" radius, which was easy to do. The other board started flat and was a lot of work to do entirely by sanding, not to mention a mess of nasty rosewood dust. For a flat board, better to rough it out with a router, and then finish by sanding. I'm not much of a cook, but the little kitchen timer has a thousand uses.
