Upgrade x2, 2 Days Late

Last Tuesday, Constantine, the Fedora 12 Beta, was released. I make it a point to upgrade sooner rather than later. And, thanks to Fedora’s preupgrade, followed by 1.1G of downloads, and what seemed to be interminable disk-thrashing, the upgrade finished, and /etc/redhat-release now reveals:
Fedora release 11.92 (Rawhide)
Thus far, Constantine has performed well. A few sound [...]

Upgrade Double

Last Monday, tbbsLand went to WordPress 2.8.2, and I sadly neglected to document that event.
Tonight, in another painless upgrade, this old blog went to WP 2.8.3. Both were security-related updates.
If they want an upgrade a day, I’ll do that, too.
Thanks, WordPress!

And the Geekery Begins..

I’ll be able to devote my full attention to the Big Screen Kindle, still on target to arrive tomorrow. I just completed the tbbs-land upgrade to WordPress 2.8, with no major problems.
My “Related Posts” plugin wasn’t compatible, and has been dispatched to the bit bucket. Other than that, the old blog looks like [...]

You are using WordPress 2.7.1

I love it when my WordPress Dashboard says such sweet nothings; tbbs now proudly runs the latest, greatest.
I attempted to use the WP 2.7 Automatic Update feature to perform the upgrade; unfortunately, it fell short of the mark; it said it was downloading the WP update, then quit. I fired it up again, and [...]

Not Even a Power Outage Deters Me

The power was out at tbbs WorldHQ when I got home from work tonight. We’ve been fortunate to have had few, and short outages in the 12+ years we’ve been in this house. Since we’re all-electric, I’d call it doubly fortunate. Tonight, MLB and I tried out the newly-opened Santini’s New York [...]

We Interrupt this Upgrade, to Bring you an Upgrade

I got home tonight, all a-tingle about the prospect of upgrading at least one of my home boxes to Fedora 10, the official version of which shipped today.
My last “yum update” of the Fedora 10 beta was underway, when I noticed that version 2.6.5 of WordPress was available. A quick ssh out to the [...]

Happy Blog B’day, #3

And how the internet time flies, not unlike the time in the non-digital world. Three years ago, this old blog went live on the series of tubes1.
As is the ritual at times like these, the statistics from the WP Dashboard at this juncture are:
You have 1,513 posts, 8 pages, contained within 2 categories [...]

Hoisting the Banner Again

Thank heaven for WordPress updates, for giving me something to write about this evening. The occasion being, of course, the update of this old waste of pixels to WordPress 2.6.3. Smooth. Quick. Painless.
Thanks, WordPress, for making it easy.

Slickness is Slick

As documented here, I activated the heretofore unnoticed Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month checkbox in the Akismet WordPress plugin.
A month or so in, and my spam trap went from ginormous1 to next to none. And I can much more easily find any false positives that make it into [...]

Latest, Greatest

I may get under 10 million hits a month here at this old blog; that doesn’t hinder me in upgrading to 2.6.1 WordPress. I just got finished; another flawless upgrade.
Thanks, WordPress!
