WordPressiin ilmestyi yön aikana lisää käännettävää, joten nyt tarjolla oleva kehitysversio on #356 (4/21) #367 (4/22) #379 (4/27).

WordPressin koeversio #347

Kirjoitettu iltamyöhään suomeksi • Tägit:

Minna lähetti koko joukon parannuksia ja korjauksia sekä pari kyseenalaistusta WordPressin käännösteksteihin. Minnan tehokkuuden innoittamana käärin kasaan testiversion numero 347. Sen voi ladata suomenkielisen WordPressin kotisivulta:

Kuten aina koeversioiden kanssa: käyttö omalla vastuulla! Jos koko blogisi hajoaa tai artikkelit katoavat taivaan tuuliin, paras tapa toipua on palauttaa tietokanta ja tiedostot varmuuskopioilta. (jatkuu…)

I’ve updated postgrey to version 1.21 as mail/postgrey in pkgsrc due to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

After some head scratching I stumbled on a workaround for making the php-imap package compile again (PR/29962). I couldn’t have deployed a new version of PHP without the IMAP extension, yet an upgrade was needed due to denial-of-service vulnerabilities (CAN-2005-0524 and CAN-2005-0525).

Hello Finland

Written early in the morning in English • Tags:

“Return for a visit,” you ask? That is, unless you’ve already been participating in the rumors of my upcoming move to Finland.

It’s true — after 13 years in the States, I’m moving out. I’ve given 10 weeks notice on my apartment. My office is being closed, and I’m taking the opportunity to move back to Finland. (more…)

USA requires biometrics

Written late at night in English • Tags:

I’ve been reading about the new passport requirements the USA is making of visa-less visitors, and now there was an article about it in Hesari. I guess I should plan to return for a visit before my passport expires in 2007.

Unless they implement the plan to issue RFID tags to all foreigners for automatic tracking. Traveling is supposed to be something you do for fun, and I don’t consider wearing an electronic ankle bracelet much fun. I guess plan B is to meet all my American friends in Montreal or Vancouver.

Server trouble

Written late in the evening in English • Tags:

I just hate it when I test a new version of NetBSD on a couple of machines successfully, and only run into trouble when I push the ugprade to a busy server. After upgrading the server where these pages live to 3.99.1 the machine paniced in the TCP/SACK routines roughly once every 36 hours (really has to do with the traffic, not time). I tried upgrading again, to 3.99.3, but that was worse: the machine would hang within 2 hours. Now I’ve downgraded back to 3.99.1 and disabled SACK, hoping to get a stable environment.

I’m still running 2.99.15 on other busy machines, and it has been very solid — I cannot recall a single panic, hang or crash. It’s just that a) somebody needs to test the new stuff, b) I keep hearing things like “it only happens on your machine” (ugh) and c) holding off from upgrading for too long tends to make for painful upgrades. However, it might still be possible to convince me to run the netbsd-3 stable branch…

So if you can’t read this, please check back soon — I’m just recovering from a panic. :-)

Charlie Allom provided the solution for a nuisance that kept Apache::Gallery from working since the last imlib2 upgrade in pkgsrc. Closed my own PR pkg/29054 for www/p5-Apache-Gallery.

I didn’t know Neil Gaiman has a journal online! He also provides an RSS feed which includes new articles in full — the way it should be done. A+

Not a bad map of Finland, but if you are Finnish you’ll probably be laughing even more… :-)
