Wordpress 2.8 is out and looking good! I run svn, so I I’ve been seeing it coming along for a while now, but now that it’s out everyone can experience the joy that is 2.8
Can’t wait to see what 3.0 brings!
Take that Spam Bots! Lately, I’ve been getting several random registrations on my blog to spam accounts with random e-mails. So, since there is no real need or purpose for people to register to my blog (anyone can comment anyway), I’ve decided to just disable user registrations. If you still want to register for some reason (not sure there is actually any benefit), then just let me know and I can make that happen for you.
Last night the power went out from approximately 1:30:44 EST until about 5:45 AM. I had to shut down the server since it was due to thunderstorms and I had no idea how long it would take them to repair the lines. Plus, I needed to save the battery power in case it would become useful for other purposes. I did the same with my desktop, but I kept the network UPS running until its batteries depleated. I also have my cell phone charging off of the network UPS, and I had to charge my phone for the next day.
Then I went to school and I didn’t get my server up and running until about 6:30pm. I know, I know. Unacceptable… but it actually spent more time up than it did during my RAID-5 issues of last week.
Also, I would like to use this opportunity to state that the connection this server runs on is now fatter. Previously we had a 7Mbps/512Kbps, now we have 22Mbps/768Kbps. When we upgraded we thought it was supposed to be 2Mbps up… but clearly Time Warner likes to practice false advertising and they refuse to provide that (even though their infrastructure here is definitely capable of providing it, a la download often reaches 30Mbps). Perhaps in the future they will provide such speed. Either way, we have 50% more upload bandwidth, which should help with handling the high volume of traffic my site gets.
I rebooted the server to make a kernel upgrade as well as some general maintenance. As always… let me know of any issues you notice.
test!??!?
Holy crap! the new wordpress 2.7 (from svn) is insane! There are a lot of changes! I don’t know whether or not I even like it. :-\ Oh well, that’s why I run my blog from svn.
Wordpress 2.6 is out now. Not that I notice too much because I just use the svn anyway, but… I must comment on one of their stupid features.
It used to be… in some recent version (maybe 2.5 even) that I could go into the Plugins config page and if a plugin was out of date I could click “Upgrade Automatically” and it would be done very quickly. But NOW when I click it… it asks for FTP configurations… of which I do not and will not run on my server. What the hell happened? Why can’t it work like it worked before?? It clearly worked just fine… so wtf?
