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.

Wishing for a single identity

Wishing for a single identity 03/06/2004 01:59 AM
Last issue we began looking at the use of a person's e-mail address as the username needed for authentication in an identity management scheme. Usernames have to be unique - at least within their context. E-mail addresses need to be unique also, or else the mail won't get through. So it seems like a perfect match, right?

Wishing For A Video Game To Explain
Cancer To Kids 06/28/2004 05:22 AM
Every time you hear about the Make-A-Wish Foundation, it usually involves a kid who wants to meet an athlete, musician or movie star. Those requests probably aren't all that difficult to fulfill. However, when Ben Duskin, a child with Leukemia, decided he wanted a video game that could teach children what cancer was all about, it turned out to be a fairly difficult request. Eventually, though, the Foundation tracked down a game programmer from LucasArts who worked with Ben to create the game he wanted and which he hopes will help other kids understand what they're going through. They're now offering the game as a free download off their website. It doesn't sound like the most sophisticated game, but obviously that's not the point.
