Life down there is a strange illusion
Upgraded to WordPress 2.6.2 and also updated the Twitter Tool plugin.
By the way, the WordPress 2.7 has auto upgrade from within the admin area. Now that is a nice step ahead, and also a logical progression of the plugin updater. Also, that means that the cPanel becomes almost useless for me. I would also have wished for an integrated backup otion.
The blog now runs WordPress 2.6 and I will be in Hyderabad over the weekend and plan to have a lot of fun 🙂
.. to Jeff’s post. Finally. I had almost given up hope but Matt is back with a bang! Now wait for Jeff’s reply.
PS: The post by Matt has apparently been removed 🙁
It seems like a nice little battle is brewing between Jeff Atwood (of Coding Horror fame) and Matt Mullenweg (creator of WordPress).
Jeff has just posted an analysis of the WordPress CPU usage which he feels is unreasonably high and wonders why the WP-Cache has not been integrated into the core structure of WordPress itself. And I agree with his points. I have seen a number of instances where servers (and websites) running WP crumble upon being Dugg.
I am waiting for Matt’s response. Should be an interesting show 🙂
First – upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.5. The new interface looks cool and features easy navigation to more often used options. Also, the upgrade process was a breeze. You can read about how to do it here.
Next – for the past many days, I have been stuck with a faulty error prone version sort table JavaScript being used by MediaWiki. After a lot of head breaking and seeking help on the forums, I was frustrated by Friday and sought help from a friend at Yahoo. He was short on time and promised to do something today. Anyways he happened to mention that I should use Firebug plugin for Firefox.
I had installed Firebug on Firefox long back when I was experimenting with CSS. I did not know how to debug JavaScript using it. So a google search and a blog post later, I was ready to get my hands dirty. And after an hour or so, I was beginning to see light at the end of the terminal. I had located the error and could now fix it easily.
So here I am, all happy and contended. I would like to add this fix to the script on the next Wiki release. Hopefully my first contribution to the wonderful open source community!! Also, even though the guys on the forum were unable to help me on this one, they have been a wonderful bunch of extremely helpful folks. Thanks everyone – keep rocking!
PS: I know very little about JS, with my programming experience limited to C and VBA. So this particular hack – I am immensely pleased about.
