A beacon during emergencies

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

exit-signsExit Signs. These signs are very important. I kept reminding my sister who works in Makati at a high-rise building to always check where the fire exits are on their floor and check if each door works. I encountered an old building where I had an interview in the past that had faulty fire exits. I swear if there’s an emergency, you will die not from it but from exertion on opening the door leading to the stairs. I was asked to go one floor down their other office so I opted to use the fire exit instead of waiting for a long time for the elevator. Good thing I did. I found out their faulty door. I reported it to the building administration before going home.

I told them that they should check their fire exits and should post Photoluminescent Exit Signs rather than the cardboard-looking ones they had. Hopefully, they listened. The building would be a death trap if the doors were not checked. And the exit signs that I told them about? It should look like a beacon during emergencies. Unlike the ones they had.

ExitSigns.net has a wide selection of exit signs that buildings could use. They offer Self Luminous Exit Signs, Thermoplastic LED Combo with MR16 Lamp Heads, Non Electrical Exit Signs, and many more. Go to their web site now and check out their selection. I should call the building administrator and tell them about Exit Signs. I really hope they did something about their faulty fire exit doors.

Uh-oh!

UPDATE: I finally did it! After some tweaking, nervous twiddling of thumbs and a lot of praying, all my posts are now back up! Yey!

It’s already 3:31AM. I’m off to sleep. Will be back later for more updates ;)

I made a major boo-boo when I was cleaning my archives early today. I accidentally deleted some posts! So what I did, I took out one of my database backups and restored it. Everything went fine. Yey! I got back the deleted posts…

But then I noticed that the posts I got are only up to March 2009. I have to get back the other posts. No problem, I exported my newer posts and will only have to import it. Then the bug hit my blog! For some reason, it won’t accept files! I have to change the maximum allowable file to be uploaded to more than 2MB but the php.ini file won’t show up. I tried uploading the modified file to a demo blog and it’s still the same.

I will put up this blog again despite some missing posts. I hope I will be able to remedy this problem within the day. And I hope no one will flag me for the missing posts :(

I don’t know what’s up with Wordpress but it’s been acting up since the release of the newest beta version. Does it have something to do with it? Have you been experiencing weird things lately with your Wordpress blogs?
