It’s more fun to compute
I finally got around to upgrading to the most recent version WordPress. It had been so long that I actually had to update twice — first to something even vaguely recent and then again to the most recent. Until I get better image management software running some of the posts will be missing their photos. I’ll repair them soon enough, I’m sure. Bear with us.
Upgrading this blog is part of a general effort I’ve been making to spend more time enjoying hobbiest computing and less time, well, wasting away in front of the TV. Recent diversions have included:
- Introducing hardware raid to our server box as part of upgrading to a modern Fedora Core.
- Getting backups going with rdiff-backup. Yeah, check it out. It’s like I don’t want to lose data.
- Gathering the various pieces (cards, cables, gbics, switch, tray, drives) to get a fibre channel network going in my wee little lab.
- Experimenting with a file system implementation with Aaron.
Further bulletins as events warrant!

nicely done, Zabbo the Software Princess. Nice theme too.
If you’re looking for some photo hosting solutions, check out Gallery2 and the WPG2 plugin. It’s a bit of work but is very good once it’s setup.
Also, wow. You’re going after data integrity in a pretty serious way. Implementing your own file system? For fun? You crazy kids these days…

Thanks, though the theme certainly isn’t my doing. I just found it :).
Indeed, the plan is currently to try gallery2 and it’s wp plugin. I have high hopes.
I hope they’re not as violently dashed as my hope for wp-hashcash has been. Maybe 10 hours have passed since the upgrade and there’s twice that number of spam comments awaiting moderation. kwality.
