Well, I’m on a month-long (!) vacation and FINALLY find myself with enough time to revisit this site and take a look through a few things. Realised that the theme that I was using was outdated and isn’t receiving any updates anymore, so I went looking for one that was similar and failed miserably. I’m going to keep the existing theme for right now, I don’t know if a future WordPress update will break it completely but hey, will cross that bridge when I come to it. Did a few plugin updates and messed with the widgets a little and, well.. it looks pretty much the same as it always did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two and a half years since my last update – quite a while! WordPress version was old, I was still running PHP 5.6 (outdated for ages now!). Updated both of those, then found that my main WordPress theme was broken and had to manually update a couple of things there too. You know, at one stage I thought this site was a pretty important part of me – have always been interested and excited in new software products, wound up working for several software companies, have done software support for most of my life (even before leaving school!) but life’s just caught up with over the years and I find that I have had precious little time to indulge in the hobby. I need to think about what’s next for Dhryland. Maybe I’ll have a revelation or a second wind. We’ll see. Updated to WordPress v3.4. Decided to hook up a page on Facebook – hey, everyone else is doing it! Go like the page and we’ll see what I wind up doing with it over the coming months. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dhryland-Technology-Reviews-and-Opinions/362575500446232
For some reason I had installed two captcha systems on the site and then never actually tested it. I received a report that comments were unable to be added and this was indeed true. I have corrected the problem and comments should now work again, assuming you enter the captcha code correctly. I will also try to minimize any half-baked site tweaking in the future. Sorry about that! As the subject indicates, the WP version on the site has been updated. Dhryland’s WordPress version has been upgraded to v3.0. Finished the move to the new house. Stuff is strewn everywhere, in and out of boxes, but the most important stuff (the TV and my PC, aka Dhryland Central) is hooked up and ready to entertain. Still got a crapload of stuff to do but hope to get back to some sense of normalcy soon. Recent visitors to Dhryland may have encountered a blank page instead of the usual delightfully informative banter. This turned out to be caused by the WordPress Visitor Maps plugin, which I installed in an attempt to self-host the same features as you currently see in the Feedjit widget on the left of your screen. Thanks to Ulrich Krebs (author of UK’s Kalender) for pointing it out to me. Apologies for the break – I have removed the plugin and you should be able to see the site content fine now. Live and learn.. |
