And it seems to have gone pretty cleanly (this is a big upgrade, looks like, including database change). And the new visual editor respects my page width, and generally looks like a lot less trouble (version 3.0 of tinyMCE).
So I’m heading out of town in a couple of hours after doing the upgrade; I guess we’ll see how that works out.
For a few of you with geeky interests and long memories, this may mean something. NS2 was my second server, primarily a secondary nameserver, but also having various other functions loaded onto it now and then.
This was essentially the last of my servers providing public services; I relocated all that to Dreamhost after the second meltdown. (more…)
With any luck, you won’t much notice, but I wanted to flag the transition.
This version has integral support for keywording of some sort, so I’ll be investigating that first. I wouldn’t be surprised if, eventually, the number of categories gets cut down drastically, and keywords become the technology of the day.
And there’s clearly something weird going on with the visual editor, probably relating to my having turned on extra features in the old version, but that’s mostly visible to me.
I’ve been trying to capture my history on the net for some time now. The recent LiveJournal meme on earliest Usenet post got me to pull together some information on email addresses I’ve used over the years, so here they are:
It’s going around as a meme on LiveJournal, for example here. It originated here.
The earliest I’ve found so far is message id <6589@decwrl.UUCP>, posted 29-Mar-1984, as ddb@mrvax.dec, to net.religion. I doubt that’s my actual earliest post, though.
Go though and do likewise!
