Upgraded from WordPress 1.5 to 2.0.2

April 26th, 2006

Ok, so it’s been 290 days since my last post - sorry if you’ve been waiting with bated breath. Anyway, I just upgraded to WordPress 2.0.2 and it seems to be much more polished and advanced than 1.5 and I wanted to get the word out. I showed it to Trey and it didn’t take long for him to upgrade as well. Something that came out of this, however, was that I had to sign up for a WordPress.com account to get an API key to enable the Akismet plugin so that I can could stop getting moderation e-mails from comment spam. A byproduct of registering with WP.com is that a blog is created. At first, I thought I would just leave it empty, but I started messing around with the “features” that come with it and I was truly impressed. So, I might start using my new blog for other purposes - stay tuned on that.

I have 4 old drafts on this blog that I want to get rid of because I know I’ll never finish them. Here they are in a nutshell:

• I upgraded my server from ClarkConnect 3.0 to 3.1 - it was a smooth upgrade with some good benefits, but I think I already need to upgrade again!
• I am using Vonage for my home phone service - it has its drawbacks, the quality isn’t the greatest, but I’ve cut my phone bill in half.
• 2 movie reviews - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which is another great Miyazaki anime film. I gave it a 7/10. Saints and Soldiers, which is a fairly good WWII film that I gave a 7/10 as well.

That should just about cover it. I’ve seen a lot of movies since then and later I’ll post a quick list of what I’ve seen through Netflix that I think deserves to be mentioned.
