We are now WordPress 2.6, and all plugins are up-to-date (9 updates this week).
I believe everything is working correctly, but late-night upgrades from hotel rooms are not always perfect, so if you see something broken, drop me a comment–unless, of course, it’s commenting that’s broken. Heh.
Tonight’s planned hotel blogging will not be happening due to a much longer than intended commute time today.
Americans, rest assured that your Border Protection officers are doing an excellent job of preventing Canadians from sneaking into your county without a thorough examination. Also, they are very friendly, very interested in the intricacies of software architecture, [...]
The next few days are about focusing on my family. Back on Thursday evening.
Yes, we had a bit of a site outage today.
All issues at the ISP:
The web sites section of one of the hard drives on a shared hosting server is corrupted. We need to repair the files so that we can ensure your data is preserved. Estimated time is between 6-8 hours.
Everything seems to be back [...]
You may have noticed a while back that I turned on gravatars for comments on the blog.
What this means, in a nutshell, for those who aren’t already down is that if you have a “globally registered avatar” at Gravatar.com, then your comments here will show the image beside the commentor name. (Assuming that you use [...]
Regular effort was planned to resume here today–but the phoenix-like resurrection of Demonoid has distracted me.
I did manage to update several plugins, and introduce the nifty new collapsable archives thing you will see at the right, though.
This site has gone from over 30,000 spam attempts a week to around 2,000 over the last month.
The number that get through my multi-tier blocking system hasn’t changed–it’s still more-or-less zero–but I am wondering why the sudden drop.
I’m not complaining, mind. I’m just worried that this pause signals a new wave about to start any [...]
I’ve upgraded the site. If anything wonky happens, let me know in the comments.
I thought I’d start off this year with some omphaloskepsis and put up a quick list of some my favourite posts here from last year. These aren’t the best, or the most popular, just some that I particularly liked.
My favourite in January was probably Who We Just Made Our Prime Minister…, wherein I, with the [...]
Well, after five years with my previous ISP, they finally pissed me off enough to overcome my basic intertia, and I switched over to Bluehost this weekend.
If you’re seeing this message, then you’re already seeing my site on Bluehost. I also moved a couple of other sites, and a couple of mailing lists I run.
To [...]
After losing almost all of last night to a hot problem at work1 I managed to find a bit of time to make some minor cosmetic changes to the site. These things have been bothering me for a while, and I was too burned out to generate actual content.
What you will definitely notice: The comment [...]
Well, since I made the changes to my anti-spam shields, I have been averaging 15-20 spams a day that get trapped by Spam Karma, which is a pretty tremendous improvement from the previous 400+ per day.
In those 4 days Bad Behaviour has blocked around 400 activities, which means everything is working like it’s supposed [...]
Well, after the great spamming of ‘06 I thought things had settled down and I could live with the 30-50 comment spam attempts that Spam Karma 2 handles for me every day. I mean, I still have to quickly scan a long list of these blocked spam every now and then to make sure that [...]
I am writing this post in a Firefox window on my newly installed Ubuntu Linux machine.
I had a relatively old IBM Thinkpad A21m sitting around, more-or-less unused, so I decided to test the rumours I’ve been hearing that Ubuntu is now at the “easy one step install and it just works” stage.
Bear in mind that [...]
I just want to quickly point out that there is some new stuff happening in the comments to my “Confusing The Art and the Artist” post, the “most linked to” post here so far. In particular, look for the lengthy response from John C. Wright, one of my examples in the post. His response is [...]
