Upgrading to 4.2 take 2 (take 1 failed because of mysterious DBI errors).
First entry on rana.arved.priv.at too

Update to 4.12 is upcoming.
I am currently busy with university, so nothing else blogworthy…

Because i wanted to use open-id authentication, i finally had to upgrade my templates to the MT4 version. The templates got a lot more complicated, but now hopefully it looks nearly as good as before.

I have upgraded my blog to MT 4.1, the first final version under GPL license. This is a testentry, let’s see if it works..

This event has been the first time, where i have been written some more blog entries over an insecure network since the MT4 upgrade. So this is the first time i noticed this problem with my blogsoftware.
I have been using https for the blog for some time. Unfortunately the new MT4 JavaScript^WAJAX navigation seems not to work if i access the admin frontend via https. I tried both Safari and Firefox.
If i rerequest the form with http everything works. I have no idea why.

Today i finally started working on updating the MT port to the new major version. It was about time, because MT compared to its competitors lacks features.
Well everything seems to work well it seems, as you can read this post.
But of course the new version needs more RAM and is very slooow. And the new management web interface is just plain ugly.
If no major error shows up this week, i will commit the update this weekend.

MovableType 4 was released. Unfortunately i am a bit busy at the Moment. So i will most likely not have time to play with it before next week. Since this is a major update i would not expect a portupdate in less than two weeks.

It has been a while (several version updates) since i have been tinkering with the MT templates, my current stylesheet for this blog still fits well enough.
Today i created a new blog for testing, and noticed that the default stylesheet does not work with Konqueror anymore (It works okay in Safari).
Anyone got an idea why? I currently don’t have the time for stylesheet debugging, so for now i will stick with bloaty Firefox on FreeBSD. Hopefully KDE4 will fix this…

3.34 will be committed soon, if this entry appears as it should.

There is a new version of MT out. If you can read this i will commit the port update.
Oh oops..and my HTTPS Cert expired two weeks ago….
