Upgrading wordpress to 1.5

Decided to go boldly where no bold one has gone before.
Deleted my old wordpress dir and uploaded the new one.
Yes, I did ignore the “upgrading 1.2 to 1.5″ on purpose.
I like a nice clean start…The database is ok, that’s what counts.
Looks is only looks.

So much is broken…will restore most functionality during the weekend….

Localizing wordpress with OS X Panther

Quick and dirty:

download the .po file
edit in bbedit
save

get the gettext tools from:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/devtools/gettext-macosx.tar.gz

mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
cp gettext* /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/msgfmt /usr/sbin/msgfmt
/usr/local/lib/libintl.a

msgfmt --statistics -o nl_NL_merlijn.mo /Users/merlijn/Desktop/NL_nl.po

upload the mo file, edit wp-config.inc
done

Even more vintage videos

I’m glad I do have friends who help me filling up all the diskspace on a Xserve.
( Is there some sarcasm here?)

But here are some more vintage Apple video’s.

Three commercials:
Apple 1984 montage
Apple IIc
Test drive a Macintosh

And almost the complete keynote of 1984 in four parts:
1 1984 launch
2 1984 launch
3 1984 launch
4 1984 lanuch

Upgrade day

pfeeuw.

Transmit 3
Pix OS 7 (well, announced at least)
Wordpress 1.5

Transmit 3 have I bought today.
PIXos 7 will be a free upgrade (SMARTnet to the rescue)
Wordpress…2 out of 3 blogs already updated, gargleblaster will follow this weekend.

Transmit 3 kicks ass. Still clicking through the different new options. I know I’m going to love the “DockSend” option.
A year ago I thought that a graphical (s)FTP client was for lusers, but since my colo I couldn’t live without Transmit.

Vintage video revival

This one was on slashdot more than a week ago, but I just found the time to upload the movie to my webserver. From a historical perspective, this video is amazing. Shot in 1992, it has lots of technology introduced almoast ten years later again with the release of Mac OS X. If you watch the video, you will see mail.app, interface builder, the dock and more.
Amazing.

Original credits go to openstep.se, and here is the slashdot link.
Openstep.se still seems being slashdotted.
