WordPress-MU and ReviewBoard migrated to new VM

Florent Thoumie — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:06:30 +0000

I’ve just finished the migration of WordPress-MU and ReviewBoard over to the new VM (hosted by Your.org). Let me know if you notice anything that’s broken.

Thanks to Kevin Day for creating the VM!

PS: If you can’t reach either of blogs.freebsdish.org or reviews.freebsdish.org, then the old CNAME haven’t expired yet (TTL was set to 8 hours). Try again later.

Blogs/Planet down for maintainance

Florent Thoumie — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 20:29:59 +0000

Tomorrow, I’ll be moving the blogs.freebsdish.org WordPress-MU install from my own server to a VM graciously hosted by Your.org. The service will be down from about 10am to 5pm GMT (worse case scenario). No related posts. Related posts brought to …

FreeBSD Blogs and Planet FreeBSD

Florent Thoumie — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:23:05 +0000

First, I’d like to apologize for the extended downtime planet freebsd has suffered in the past three weeks. The server was back up a few days ago but the issues I’ve been experiencing since early december were still present. The load on the box was insanely high all the time for very little traffic.

I’ve finally managed to find what was causing it and it seems to be working properly again (as in, requesting the front page doesn’t take 30 seconds amymore). While I was at it, I upgraded WordPress-MU to the freshly released 2.9.1 (video embedding is now dead easy, there’s a integrated picture editor, ...).

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Happy reading!

WordPress-MU updated to 2.8.1

Florent Thoumie — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:54:33 +0000

Following WordPress-MU 2.8.1 release, I’ve updated the copy on blogs.freebsdish.org. Apparently there’s a bug with the auto-upgrader as it still says I should update to 2.8.1. As usual, poke me if you encounter any issue. No related posts. Related posts …

FreeBSD(ish) blogs get some TLC

Florent Thoumie — Mon, 11 May 2009 10:46:31 +0000

Quick summary of the changes:

WordPress MU updated to 2.7.1

Automatic upgrade is fixed now, so hopefully I’ll be upgrading wpmu and the plugins faster from now on

K2 theme updated: if you’re planning on using it, I recommend activating Advanced Navigation in K2 options and also use Widgets (both in Appearance menu) or your sidebar will look funny.

New plugins: All in One SEO (search engine optimization), Sociable (share on social websites), WPhone (iphone friendly css), Akismet (anti-spam), Twitter (display twitter feeds)

Removed plugins: Iwphone (superseded by WPhone)

Plugins considered for removal (shout if you want to keep them): Sol-Digg and Sol-Delicious (superseded by Sociable), Spam Karma 2 (superseded by Akismet)

Also I’m having issues with bundled OpenID delegation support, so I’ll keep the third-party plugin for now. As usual, send me an email if you would like new themes/plugins, or if something got broken.

WordPress-MU updated to 2.6.5

Florent Thoumie — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:02:10 +0000

It always takes me some time to update wordpress, but it eventually happens.

Following Tom’s comment the other day, I also fixed media upload, so it’s now possible to upload screenshots or whatever you’re trying to upload.

As usual, if you encounter any problem, please report.

Update: I’ve also install the IWPhone plugin for WordPress, just activate it and you’ll make your iPhone / iPod Touch users very happy

New Planet FreeBSD in testing

It’s using feedjack and there are a few interesting features. Most importantly, it’s there.

WordPress-MU and Planet moved to a new home

Florent Thoumie — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:46:13 +0000

I’ve finally swapped the old PowerEdge 2550 with a (less) old PowerEdge 2660. It sports a Bi-Xeon 3GHz AFAIK which should be more than enough for what it’s currently doing.

WordPress-MU and Planet were unavailable for a short as I replaced Apache with Lighttpd. I think everything is back on, drop me an email if something is misbehaving.
