Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Computer stuff
MT 3.3 will be going into open beta soon (next week) and it looks like there are a lot of changes that should make blogging life easier for non-techies.
I shall be looking forward to seeing a more comprehensive changelog for 3.3 and kicking it’s wheels soon.
Ok, fresh new design (actually one of MT’s standard StyleCatcher templates) and updated templates. Having a weird issue in the individual entry archives. For some reason the MTComment tag will only show one comment even if there are more.
Very puzzling. I’m thinking maybe it has something to do with dynamic publishing. I’ll have to spend some time digging into it later.
Update: Cool, I seem to have fixed the problem by upgrading the Smarty bundled with MT3.2 to the latest version. At least I think that’s what fixed it…
Ooops, I seem to have managed to totally bork my individual entry archives. Since that’s also where the comment form is, no comments until I get this fixed.
I did have redoing the templates on my list of things to do…maybe this will be as good a time as any to do that.
Update: Ok, I think things are fixed now…
There are a bunch of interesting blogs in TBB that I’d like to add to my FeedReader list, but a good chunk of them are hosted on Blogspot/Blogger and have no links to RSS feeds though. I know I’ve seen Blogger blogs with RSS feeds, so I’m sure the feature’s there. Turn it on people! Let me aggregate you!
Hmm, that sounded wierd didn’t it…
Update: Oh, apparently RSS feeds is a Pro feature. Too bad.
Yesterday I finally found a few spare moments to go ahead and start upgrading my Fedora Core 4 box to Fedora Core 5. I don’t know if it’s because I’m doing the upgrade instead of the new installation, but it’s still going this morning. Granted there was the 12 hour break between going home and coming back to work, so all together I’d say the upgrade process has taken about 7 hours so far, and I’m only on disk 4 of 5.
Each time a new CD goes in, the installer spends a good long time (maybe an hour or so?) doing this ‘Preparing transaction from installation source’ thing before it gets to actually installing any of the packages. Not quite sure what’s going on during this time, but there’s a heck of a lot of disk activity happening. Maybe it’s just this computer…
I figure at this rate the upgrade should be finished by the time I go home today and I’ll be able to start messing with FC5 tomorrow.
