Weather: Cloudy

I stumbled across this chinese webpage (when searching some chinese terms) where user can write their diary online.

The webpage may not be well designed (visually), yet I found it very interesting because of the simple way of presenting its data/facts.

As a online diary, user selects the mood they feel for a particular post, a sad feeling? a happy feeling, a loving feeling so on. An icon shows the weather for the date- sunny, rainy, so on. The post made displayed on a background with letter lines, and writers could insert pictures or icons. As I peep around some of the posts, they are surprising short- the chinese language makes it possible to express alot, in detailed, in a few words.

I’m not a one who writes diaries or journals (even when our teachers wanted us too), but the site has gave me the feel and look of a diary. Although I suspect there would be plenty of better, nice and good webpages which provides dairy writing service, I’m not searching for them currently, but bloggers who blog entirely in the diary style might be interested to look for sites as such.

So, my wordpress upgrade broke. Not as easily as I thought it would be.

Not exactly the site broken down, but the upgrade wasn’t successfully, or at least it was what I thought. 1 file advance-cache.php was missing, and Akismet plugin could not be found.

1st problem was simple, just needed to comment few lines from wp-config.php

Then time to use my backups, and the phpmysqladmin kept refusing my compressed backups. After copying to txt file to a windows machine to zip it and upload again, it timed out and couldn’t resume importing on my next upload.

This led me to install mysql on my own machine to view it. So the backup dump was 40mb, and at least 35mb was the storage spam comments (I forgotten to clear them). So I installed my wordpress files and database onto my local server and run spam karma to delete all the junk. Now it was possible to upload as a plain text file and the server didn’t time out.

After alittle raw database editing, I run the upgrade script, but still no sign of Akismet plugin, and repeated the steps (starting with deleting and restoring my database) all over again with no avile.

I made a fresh wordpress installation on my local server to see how it looked like after a sucessful installation. Then I deleted all my themes and plugin files from my webserver. After this it worked and hard work paid off. Now this blog is running wordpress 2.1 and K2 v0.95 theme. Now when time permits I’ll release a plugin to preview inline html code

It span over a few days for this upgrade, including the day (after taking off) and night on valentine’s day, that I have to be spend time with this computer.

My mom once jokingly said I would marry my computer, and my PC became my valentine this year except its such a strained relationship.

1. Anti-spam.

For a quick, easy solution to be tested first, Bad Behaviour is installed. Take a day or 2, and I’ll see the results.

Next line defense, if I have to try is Spam Karma 2.

2. K2 Theme

Or the Kubrick 2 theme. The old version of kubrick, which is not bad, comes installed with Wordpress 1.1

Now with K2, wow, the blog turns high-tech, with its powerful features (of which i dreamt) with its compatibility with other don’t-miss-it plugins at the snap of fingers.

Now due to those brute forced plugins I had with my previous themes, the site has couple of issues (as usual). Plan A? Import K2 into previous theme. Plan B? Migrate all features I had into K2. Meantime, i’ll enable theme switcher again.

Click here to use Landzilla Theme

another update. I have started to use SK2. Next solution if needed would be secureImage
