ah, the joys of upgrading

ah, the joys of upgrading 02/01/2005 09:53 PM

Embiggened by the success I had installing Debian Sarge on my desktop machine, I upgraded to Movable Type 3.14 from 2.661 today.

So far, the upgrade has been mostly painless, but I have encountered a few headaches, which I may go into another time. I'm glad that I exported my entire blog before I started, that's for sure.

It looks like the comments have vanished all the way back until December, and I don't know if they're even working right now, but I've been here for hours, and now it's time for dinner. I kinda hate computers right now.

If anyone notices anything strange, post a comment (if you can) or drop me an e-mail, if you don't mind.

Update: Comments don't work. They time out for me, and I hear via e-mail from a lot of WWdN readers that they are encountering various errors that sound MT-Blacklist related.

I'd love to sit here for another few hours and figure it out, but I'm tired, my back is sore, and I have an audition tomorrow. I'll try to fix it later this week if I get some time.

Other than this incredibly annoying problem (which is probably my fault, like I forgot to set some stupid file to 755 or something) and a massive slowdown (which is probably server-related) the upgrade looks great. I especially like how 3.14 handles plugins.

So if you're having problems commenting, I know. No need to e-mail about it. However, if you're an MT user, and you've had any problems like this upgrading, I'd love to hear how you got around it.

Oh, if you're looking for actual weblog content, I recorded an audioblog on Friday called "Wanting . . . ".

Update the second: Comments are making it through, because MT-Blacklist (2.04b) is e-mailing them to me, which is weird because I didn't configure it to force moderation of new comments . . . but even when I approve them, they're still not showing up. Maybe it's a template thing.

Tell you what, I've learned a whole lot about MT because of this little snag . . . sort of how I learned a whole lot about recompiling a kernel when my machine puked recently.

So to review — things breaking: bad. Learning stuff while you fix things: good.

Update the last: I converted my database from Berkeley db to MySQL, and everything seems to be magically working. Cool!

The conversion was 100% painless. I edited two lines of mt.cfg (with vim, of course) and ran a perl script to do the conversion. I have about sixteen billion entries and comments and stuff, though, so it took about three hours to convert . . . but I just sat here at my desk and watched the update scroll by while I worked on my audition.

By the way, this pilot I'm reading for today is the best pilot I've seen in ages. Maybe five years or so (I use five, six, and nine years as benchmarks, because that's how long I've been married, lived in this house, and known Anne, respectively).

Update the last, for reals this time: Got back from the audition to find a blog positively overflowing with spam. Tried to login to MTBL, discovered that since I switched to the new database, MTBL thinks I have an invalid username. D'oh! Until I get that worked out, I've turned on a MT feature which will only allow comments from people who are registered Typekey users. It's free, it's not that big a hassle, and it could be a week or more before I finally work out all these issues . . . so if you'd like to post a comment, get yourself an account, just like my typekey profile whydontcha.

Upgrading to Firefox?

Upgrading to Firefox? 02/15/2004 02:14 AM
I've been debating about upgrading from Firebird to Firefox, the new Mozilla based browser, but have seen enough problem reports to decide to hold off until after this week's trip to Colorado. Plus, I'm not looking forward to reinstalling all my extensions -- 26 at last count. And the notice on the official Firebird extensions site, During periods of heavy use, the extensions are taken offline to help maintain a healthy, responsive server. Please check back later! For now, please use Extension Room. seems especially clueless. I'd be curious to hear what other Firebird users' upgrade experiences have been....

And the notice on the official Firebird extensions site,During periods of heavy use, the extensions are taken offline to help maintain a healthy, responsive server. Please check back later! For now, please use Extension Room.seems especially clueless. As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of Firebird / Firefox is the extensions. I also don't understand why Ben Goodger and the other developers are so opposed to the Tab Browser Extensions feature set? I understand that they have some problems with how the features are implemented, but to reject including or creating a better extension for some of the most popular features of Firebird / Firefox is nuts. I'd be curious to hear what other Firebird users' upgrade experiences have been....

A lesson in upgrading hardware

A lesson in upgrading hardware 06/17/2004 05:02 AM
The other day, I got a note from a longtime reader (I won't reveal their name as it might be embarrassing for them) about a hardware upgrade to a NetWare server. In a large network, with many servers, this is a fairly straightforward task. But in a single-server network, such as a small business network, the process can be fraught with danger.

Reuters reports that Virginia Tech is upgrading its Power Mac G5-based supercomputer to Xserve G5s. “By moving to the thinner servers, the supercomputer will consume less power and generate less heat, said Srinidhi Varadarajan, assistant professor of computer science, college of engineering, at Virginia Tech. ‘It cuts the system’s size down by a factor of three,’ Varadarajan said. ‘The new system will take much less power and generate less heat and free up space.’” [Jan 27]

When I told my friend David I was upgrading to Panther, he asked "why?". Good question. Mostly, it was for the better Finder interface, but also because many people reported that 10.3 felt faster. This benchmark site confirms that 10.3 is a bit faster in most areas.

BTW, the new Finder interface (with the sidebar and Exposé) really is quite spiffy. Maybe not $129 spiffy, but much better than the Old Way. And, to my taste, better than any of the Finder-replacement applications that I had tried over the last year.

Firefox 0.9x has some great new
extensions that make it worth the pain
of upgrading 08/12/2004 04:39 AM
I'm a cautious upgrader, always happy to learn from the experiences of others, and let them take the first arrows. I've been a Firefox user for over a year now, since it was called Phoenix, and my experience has been that the Firefox team is aggressive about releasing software at the same time as they are making deep changes to it. Also, they are not as solicitous of extension writers and users as I would like, as I've publicly tangled horns with Ben Goodger about in the past. As a result, and because I use Firefox as my main browser, I've been cautious about each upgrade of Firefox, and have been happily chugging along for months with Firebird 0.7 on the my desktop machine, and Firefox 0.8 on my laptop. Even the older versions of Firefox/Firebird are much better and safer browsers than Internet Explorer. Three weeks ago I finally upgraded to Firefox 0.92, and this week I upgraded to Firefox 0.93. While I did run into a few snags getting my data over to the new profiles, it was worth it. Firefox 0.9x is considerably faster than the earlier versions of Firefox. It feels snappy, like I have to hurry to keep up with it. And there are some really nice new extensions that are only available for Firefox 0.9+ that add significantly more functionality than was possible before. My favorites include: Slogger, an awesome (although strangely named -- how about SuperSaver?) extension written by Ken Schutte that allows one to keep a log of the sites that you have visited, and save the pages as you go along. It is like having Furl built into your browser. All I need is to do is find a full text indexing and searching program (more on that later, but suggestions welcome), and I'll be able to get rid of Surfsaver and MyBase, two formerly useful programs I purchased whose authors seem to be stuck in "Internet Explorer only" land. Sage, an improved version of the already good Firefox RSS Reader Panel. Sage is a very good RSS reader under active development that runs inside Firefox. It supports custom stylesheets, and Technorati and Feedster search engine integration. It suits my reading style a lot better than Nick Bradbury's well-reviewed Feed Demon that I beta tested, and unlike Feed Demon, it is open source -- anyone can improve on it. I wonder...
