Upgrade pain

If you attempted to read anything here in the last sixteen or so hours and had the connection attempt refused it was caused by my upgrade attempt performed yesterday evening. Almost everything is back to normal at this point. Turns out there was a configuration issue for all the virtual domains, so all the user [...]

What the Star Tribune could learn from the NY Times

Late last year Nick Carr wrote a piece titled The business case for TimesSelect which discusses the recent change for the archives of the New York Times away from a subscription model toward an advertising model. Carr’s point is that the Times didn’t necessarily error when they made the choice of a subscription based web [...]

Ode to Cover Art

Once upon a time, I could locate albums in my music collection by the color of the spine. The cover art provided a kind of stylistic fingerprint as unique as the music itself; it was tangible.

$67.90

New and Improved!

Now with Wordpress 2.3 final!
Transition from Beta3 to 2.3 final was a snap. All I had to do was…

Grab the latest tarball.
Untar it someplace out of the way.

The great leap forward…

Recreational Reading has finally moved from Lunarpages to the new(er) virtual dedicated hosting environment; so if this original article is unavailable, that’s the cause. The new environment should be gradually replacing the old as name service entries expire. Included in the move is a giant step forward to Wordpress 2.3 Beta 3. The Wordpress upgrade [...]
