WordPress Woes

OK, not about the NYIAS, but that’s going to come today or tomorrow, I promise.

1. new version 2.5 – not bad, if you didn’t notice I’m running that on this blog right now. After all this is going to be partly experimental in that regard so I can consider if I should migrate to my other, more “serious business” blogs. Omonomono is still running 2.2.3… I’m sort of glad not switching to 2.3 because 2.5 really makes 2.3 outdated. In fact besides the google analytic plugin and the comment editor plugin, 2.5 comes with all you really need–namely a useful media management function is added since 2.3.

2. I got hacked on Friday. It has nothing to do with my site as much as my ISP was just haxxorzed on a root level. This is the second time it has happened in the past 4 years, which is pretty lousy. It coincided with the NYIAS and upgrading to 2.5. Made it kind of easy I guess.

3. Guh. So in the midst of all that the wordpress tinymce plugin decided to bork on me because somehow gzip is configured oddly. So that took me 20 minute to track down and change. You can read about it here if you ever run into the problem in versions 2.0-2.3 that the tinymce plugin isn’t showing your editor buttons. That is, after you figured out it wasn’t your browser being weird.

As an aside, my phone died on Friday, too, so I had to run out Sunday and got it replaced. It was under 30 days since I got the phone so the replacement was easy and painless–well, finding a store that would do it was the hard part. Used my W600 meanwhile. That was a great phone with good quality D:
