The Boy™ can eat. This is all that’s left of a large Steak & Mushroom Melt pizza from Panago, after the two of us were done with it.

I lugged my camera and Flip on the Ride to Conquer Cancer, to document some of the ride. It was a pretty epic bike ride – the hardest thing I’ve ever done – but was well worth it.
Thank you to everyone that supported me in any way – it definitely made the pain of the ride easier to push through.
Full resolution photos are available on Flickr, and I apologize for my severe lack of video production skills…

this makes me smile.
I’ve been trying to get BuddyPress working on my WPMU installation that uses MultiDB for database partitioning. It’s been cranky, but I just realized I’m a complete idiot because I was overlooking the obvious (and drop dead simple) fix.
BuddyPress was acting up because it was creating tables in each blog’s database tableset. But MultiDB makes it easy to declare tables as belonging to a shared global database, so they don’t get recreated for each blog and are common across the entire service.
Thanks to a reminder by Andrew on the premium.wpmudev.org forum!
I edited my db-config.php file to declare the BuddyPress tables as being global, and copied the tables from the database where they had been collecting, into the global database.
// BuddyPress
add_global_table('bp_activity_sitewide');
add_global_table('bp_activity_user_activity');
add_global_table('bp_activity_user_activity_cached');
add_global_table('bp_friends');
add_global_table('bp_groups');
add_global_table('bp_groups_groupmeta');
add_global_table('bp_groups_members');
add_global_table('bp_groups_wire');
add_global_table('bp_messages_messages');
add_global_table('bp_messages_notices');
add_global_table('bp_messages_recipients');
add_global_table('bp_messages_threads');
add_global_table('bp_notifications');
add_global_table('bp_user_blogs');
add_global_table('bp_user_blogs_blogmeta');
add_global_table('bp_user_blogs_comments');
add_global_table('bp_user_blogs_posts');
add_global_table('bp_xprofile_data');
add_global_table('bp_xprofile_fields');
add_global_table('bp_xprofile_groups');
add_global_table('bp_xprofile_wire');
It seems to be working fine. I’ll do some more testing, but it’s looking promising. If it’s really working, I’ll be spending some time to BuddyPress-enable the main theme for the WPMU service, and roll it out properly.
