Image upload does not work on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop and WordPress 2.5. I’ll check using my Vista box. I’ll also setup a new scratch blog and see if it’s some setting or plugin I’m using. The 1.5 development version of Simple Tags seems to work with 2.5 now.
Software
WordPress 2.5 is released
I’d gotten a surprise when I went to the WordPress.org support forum. To go with the new release of 2.5, WordPress.org has a new look. Because I have weakness of working with possibly broken software, I backed up my database, all my files, and upgraded to WordPress 2.5. I’ll see how it goes.
Widgetized my theme
In preparation of installing WordPress 2.5 I finally widgetized my theme. I’m using an old 2.0 version of FastTrack. Widgets have been around for a long time so as I play with 2.5 I figured I’d come up to speed with a 2.0 feature. I had a bunch of nested if..thens so that the home [...]
An odd Easter Sunday
Today is not exactly how I intended to enjoy Easter Sunday. I’m baby sitting my main server in my basement right now. This morning at 6 AM I noticed my server in the basement was not passing traffic since 2 AM. So I rebooted the server and it came back. I like to attend the [...]
Installed Vista SP1
This morning the 120 MB download for Vista Sp1 was available. The download was fast but the scary part is that the update eventually happened while my screen was totally off in power saving mode. That took more than 10 minutes. That’ll cause some people to power off their boxes and cause no end of [...]
Last time Microsoft encourages feedback
I saw this while wasting time on Reddit: “They Criticized Vista. And They Should Know.” Microsoft really did bork the release of Vista but so what? For mass consumers they are the only game in town. They can suck as much as they want.
Playing with WordPress 2.5 beta
I keep a SVN based copy of the new WordPress 2.5-beta1 for playing with. I’m doing this because at sometime the version I’m running 2.3.x might not be supported for patches. Going from 2.2 to 2.3 was a no brainer, tags are a huge difference. 2.5 might not get me to jump for a while. [...]
openSUSE 10.3 server upgrade
I did not really mean to upgrade my home server today, it just worked out that way. Weeks ago I cleaned up my basement computer room and Alek had dropped off an old PC for my use. It is a dual Pentium III 800 MHz machine with 700 odd megabytes of RAM. It does not [...]
WinTV PVR-350 and MCE
When installing a WinTV PVR-350 on a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 PC, don’t forget to install the Sonic CinePlayer DVD software that came with the PC. MCE won’t display a TV image until you do.
Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007
Today it’s President’s Day, it’s raining, and the kids are off this week. So naturally I am goofing around with my PC. I’ll head to the basement soon to play with the kids but first I want to setup something on my workstation. My main workstation is a Dell 700 720 with a Core 2 [...]
