The upgrade

I can't not mention the upgrade. In the process of branding the site we also upgraded from moodle 1.9 to moodle 2.3. In theory this was a brilliant thing and in the long run will make my life much easier but at the time there may have been quiet tears, sneakily shed into my pillow when awake at three in the morning dreaming about html editors, csv files and LTC branded buttons.
Moodle 2.3 has much enhanced usability and a lot more time saving features allowing me to do some cool stuff that I couldn't do on 1.9. Unfortunately the reverse was also true and I had to spend a week relearning how to do some admin tasks and fixing some of the problems created in the upgrade. Although the sense of achievement when it was finally all fixed up and working was quite pleasing.
