One day, there will be something useful in this box (like screenshots, screencasts)

Updated wordpress to 2.3.x, finally

Today my old wordpress 1.5.x got hacked again and this website displayed lovely ads for the usual crap. So I finallly took some time to do the upgrade as it seems there is no support for older wordpress releases. The upgrade wasn’t much work but I had some hardcoded things (links and stuff) in the previous website so I had to integrate these in the new theme.

I’ll clean some of the remaining mess up tomorrow. It’s a bit late here.

Thanks go to Alexander for pointing out that the site got hacked. I don’t look at the website that often and I hadn’t noticed :-(

One of the good things of the old version is that I had modified the install to ask for an additional field when posting comment… now I am back to the good old days and I am getting 20 spam comments per hour in my e-mail. Sigh.

Update: Recaptcha solved this for me (I noticed askismet was bundled with Wordpress 2.x now but I still think recaptcha is an interesting use of captchas.

    I am not at all sure why I went to your web site either. I think I was using address autocompletion. :)

    Either that or your typed ‘v¡/\@ra’ in google :-)

    PLEASE keep going or release as open source or something . Pixelmator is not there yet.

    If you started core animation as well somehow that would be crazy!

    I still keep going, just at my rythm. I definitely expect Pixelmator to mature and become a great product but that hardly any influence on my work.

    Core Animation looks fun, just like some other features of Leopard. However using it would require a Leopard specific version and I am not willing to maintain two version (nor dump Tiger compatibility so early on).
