I think I’ve missed some past updates.

That OS from Redmond
Sometimes I think the updates are kind of slow (down in the right corner it says “Your PC will restart in 2 days to finish installing important updates.”)
Photo Gallery Redesign Finished
At least for now. I’ve made thumbnails bigger and higher quality (since people have more bandwidth today), and given vertical pictures equal treatment (since people have bigger screens, except when they don’t). And made a few upgrades in the maintenance software as well, that only concern me. And increased space between thumbnail boxes some. And added my logo initials to each page.
Server Upgrade Chronicles IIa
Didn’t find any useful information. Asked today online, and found t/3 of what I need at least, so I can revisit the install and upgrade tomorrow (got better things to do tonight). I need to resolve the uncertainties about update before considering doing it to the real server. Maybe I should just wait for the next stable release, due in March and expected in April.
Meanwhile, yesterday the new SAS disk controller arrived. I’ve now got all the hardware to install into the box, and I can do that without changing anything associated with the current boot or data disks, so I probably will. Try things out on the new hardware and new disks, before cutting over.
Meanwhile, not sure why WordPress is displaying the time in UTC.
ETA: Okay, install log is fairly clean. There’s “device pciclass,030000@3(display#0) keeps up device sd@0,0(sd#0), but the latter is not power managed” and “/usr/lib/powerd: [ID387247 daemon.error] Able to open /dev/srn” and “SUNW_piclmemcfg init mc failed!”
Added Emacs. Going to shutdown, snapshot, and start update from there.
ETA: On boot, several popup errors, and this in the logs:

But, unlike the previous attempt, the system did boot. I halted and snapshotted it immediately after the boot.
