Commenters on this site may notice something strange about the process of leaving comments. This is a new thing I’ve added. Don’t panic!
This post is mostly here to let me test that functionality as installed here. Feel free to test along with me!
I’m falling behind with actual not-code content, and I’m playing this game not only because Val made me do it, but because I am so burnt out on WordPress that I have no personality left. :p
What follows is a list of different occupations. You must select at least five of them. You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select five of the items as it was passed to you). Of the five you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession. Then pass it on to three other bloggers.
Did you watch the Veronica Mars season finale? We did. Wow!
I had this weird dream Tuesday night after watching the finale that I was joining some kind of fraternity, of which Logan Echolls was already a member. They were having some kind of indoctrination ceremony at the club at the top of this really tall building. There was a blizzard starting with snowball-sized flakes when I got to the building. I was thinking to myself, “This is a really strange place to have large holes in the floor,” as I rode up the elevator to the club.

I’ve been having trouble getting Subversion working on the new server. Every time I would try to install the RPM, it was conflicting with something already installed. Every time I would try using yum, I wouldn’t have a good installation source. Every time I would try using up2date, well, I don’t even know what the problem with that is. I have sent in a trouble ticket to EV1 and hopefully that will resolve the up2date issue, but we’ll see if that’s even helpful.
In any case, I managed to download the Subversion source and compile it and install it, and now SVN is running on the server. Unfortunately, I can’t build the mod_dav_svn module because my Apache version is a little screwy, hence my waiting for EV1’s reply on the up2date trouble ticket. Still, I can now do WordPress updates as easily on the new server as the old one. Yay!
I saw some questions recently wondering whether someone’s WordPress 1.5.1 blog was successfully handling trackbacks, pingbacks, and update pings.
To answer this question, I’ve developed a new RedAlt tool, Pingomation. Pingomation and it’s subsidiary tools allow you to:
