Krhis’s Journal

Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds, here’s the new address:

Don’t fret, this blog is still active. Soon hikikomori will set in and I’ll be back to my usual routine.

And on another note; it has been a little over a year since this blog was first started. As of lately I’ve considered renaming it. It has never been considered an actual “journal”, but personally I think the word “blog” is a little over used. Suggestions anyone?

No more tarballs for me, following papmech this blog is now running Wordpress 2.3-alpha revision 5773 via Subversion (SVN). I have set up a cron job to run every 8 hours to automate the process, so I will always be running the latest development code.

The trunk contains the latest development code, which is currently tagged as 2.3-alpha. The major versions of WordPress (1.5, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2) that are still maintained by developers and are split into branches.

Trying to run beta (let alone pre-beta) software in a stable environment is never suggested, especially when it changes every 8 hours. From personal experience I can say that living on the bleeding edge has its benefits but they are easily outweighed. This results in a small handful of errors from time to time, or the entire database disappearing altogether.

If absolutely necessary; my fall-back plan is to drop back from /trunk to the stable /branches/2.2 revisions.

100 days, 4 hours, 7 minutes, and 28 seconds.

Ok, lets see how long this server can stay up without a battery backup supply connected to it.

Why would I be happy that my blog is getting comment spam? Because it’s gaining some popularity… too bad it’s automated.

I discovered that there is already a plugin designed to take care of this problem included with every Wordpress install, it’s called Akismet. But I would need a WordPress.com API key to use this service, which is understandable as it checks comments against the Akismet database to see if they look like spam or not. I signed up for Wordpress account using my Spam Motel email address, got my API key, and activated the plugin a minute later. Painless, unlike some other things I’ve done in the past.

In other news I added some things to the quotes page and have been working on a pastebin. For those of you who don’t know; a pastebin is a web application which allows users to upload snippets of text, usually samples of source code, for public viewing. And as with most of my projects you can download the sourcecode here.

I have compiled a list of common search queries that people have used to get to my journal. Although Krhis’s Journal has only been up for a month, this should help me determine what content I should work with the most.

How to install Supybot
How I back up and restore my MySQL database is probably the best tutorial I have ever written, whereas my step by step guide on configuring Supybot and Pisg became popular within hours of publishing it, mostly thanks to Google. I get a good feeling of accomplishment knowing I have helped someone and that my work has not gone to waste when I see queries like these.

I used Nanoblogger before I went insane and designed my own blogging engine from the ground up. Now I use Wordpress.

Another old article, but you can find the MP3 here.

My new sub-domain source.krhis.net is up, there’s not much right now but give me time to clean out my ~/sourcecode. I plain on licensing my work under the GPL so you are encouraged to improve any of the current code.

I currently have a NATO Phonetic Alphabet generator up, have fun messing with its demo page.
