It’s windy. Massively<\/i> windy. Winds called up from the underworld, winds that howl and shake and make buildings groan and trees crack.<\/p>\n
Windy.<\/p>\n
I’ve not slept for two nights because the wind. It howls around the house, like a high-pitched roar. Small objects clatter outside. The wind goes on.<\/p>\n
I’d love to go outside and loft a kite, but there’s no string that would withstand this wind. None.<\/p>\n
Opera released a new Opera 10 Alpha<\/a> yesterday. Yay!<\/p>\n Opera 10 and the Ibis skin? Epic Win.<\/p>\n WordPress<\/a> released a bug-fix version, 2.7.1 earlier this week. Maybe it was Tuesday, maybe it was Wednesday. At this point, after two nights of wind-induced insomnia, I couldn’t tell you.<\/p>\n I can’t tell what’s different. I don’t know what bugs are fixed.<\/p>\n I have, however, located a bug. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Without getting needlessly technical, WordPress has a feature called “Post Revisions.” Every time you edit a post, WordPress duplicates it so you can “revert” your changes, much like Wikipedia does.<\/p>\n For me, it’s a useless feature. If I’m editing a post, it’s because I’m fixing a spelling error or I’ve munged up a URL. I have no need to “roll back” a post. Otherwise, I’m just filling my SQL database with useless junk.<\/p>\n Thanks to some Googling, I learned how to disable Post Revisions. And in WordPress 2.6, that worked.<\/p>\n WordPress 2.7 updated a feature called “Press It.” You can drag this link to your Opera or Firefox toolbar, and when you click it you get a pop-up WordPress composition window. Which is perfect for quick and dirty blog posting, and I’ve made copious use of it.<\/p>\n However, Press It does not respect your Post Revisions state. If you’ve made the update to your wp-config.php file to disable Post Revisions, Press It’s autosaves clutter up your WordPress database table.<\/p>\n Suffice it to say, I’m unhappy about this.<\/p>\n Anyone reading Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade<\/i>? I think it’s cute. It’s definitely screwball in its own way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s windy. Massively windy.
