This evening I have more than doubled my quotes collection into a burgeoning list of things I’ve found to be funny, thought-provoking, inspiring, interesting, enchanting, insightful, stupid or just plain cool. Keep refreshing a lot to see them all, or check out the handy quotes page to see the entire collection.
You can probably work out more about the kind of person that I am from the quotes than from anything else, so go knock yourselves out.
As you may know, I run a small web server by the name of Inca. I’ve also just gone and done a huge set of updates - it now has the latest versions of just about everything.
Hooray for cPanel, it makes my life easy.
Just so you don’t worry too much, I am currently running the v2.6 bleeding-edge version of WordPress whilst I prod some features. This means there will almost certainly be some problems somewhere around the site (I’ve spotted a couple), but they shouldn’t be show-stopping. I’m also going to be doing regular SVN updates from the trunk so it should be as stable as any development version is going to be.
Go WordPress! Go SVN!
Thanks to the people at Gravatar, everybody who has commented on anything around the site now has their own totally unique avatar! This uses a clever bit of plugin called wavatar to create unique monsters for everybody who hasn’t set up their own Gravatar yet, but still shows a Gravatar if you have one.
I love the internet.
I’ve just updated my blogging software - WordPress - to the latest 2.5-RC1 SVN trunk version. In English, I’m playing with the latest bleeding-edge development version. Apparently it has some cool new features to try out, such as integrated media galleries:
They also seem to have fixed the amazingly irritating line-break issue in Safari, something which was beginning to get on my nerves in the most amazing way.
Anyway, this means nothing much for you if you’re reading, but you may see a couple of glitches caused by me running unfinished code, for example if you’re viewing media galleries the back and forwards buttons seem to be a bit borked. I’ll keep you up to date with anything new and amazing.
Following that brief and somewhat irritating spite of hackers, who got in through a hole in someone else’s unmaintained site (The offending user has been thoroughly rollocked), my blog is back with no loss of content despite their best efforts, all for a mere 3 minutes of my time. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you take backups.
I also took the opportunity to upgrade my slightly old codebase to the newest WordPress version, so I’ve got some new buttons to click. Nothing to worry about though. Sit back, relax, enjoy life.
All the pages which were previously listed on the right have now been shoved back into the site’s chronology (Or will be shortly), at approximately the dates they were written. They aren’t actually any more in-depth than some of my chronological posts, so that’s why.
I’ve done it - 10000 spam comments eaten by Akismet (See the cool counter on the right for a running score), and I’m not even running a high-traffic blog here. My God, what is wrong with this world?
