Tue, 20 Mar 2007 04:58:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 en Notice anything different? http://www.cybernezumi.net/2006/07/19/notice-anything-different/ http://www.cybernezumi.net/2006/07/19/notice-anything-different/#comments Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:28:27 +0000 tadm blog softwarenucleustkkwordpress http://blog.skuldtek.com/2006/07/19/notice-anything-different/ If you’ve visited here before you’ve probably noticed the big change in the look of this site. Over the last year or two I’ve fallen behind on updating the Nucleus CMS software running TKK. Upgrading always seemed like a pain and I was starting to want some more flexible features of other blogging software. Some time back (I’m not sure when) the moblog posting broke, so I couldn’t send pictures from my cell phone anymore.

So I’ve recently been working on moving over to WordPress. I really like how easy WordPress is to configure. So I’ve been manually copying over my old entries into the new blog. I’m mostly finished with that, but I’ve still got many little things to modify and add. In general I’m hoping to make this new site look a bit cleaner and less cluttered than the old one. That may be a somewhat challenging task since I tend to be a rather cluttered person (as anyone who’s seen my house can attest). I’m hoping to eventually integrate the gallery into the main site as well (but that involves an even bigger software upgrade, which will probably wait until next month…).

One problem is that most of the old links are broken and end up just displaying the main page. If you can’t find what you want, check the “Categories” links on the right, the Archives page or do a search on the site.

One is of highlight pictures of my time here in Japan. Second is of Mukaihara, the town I live in here in Japan. Included in that one is a bunch of pictures of my house and a panorama of the Mukaihara.

So today I’ve made a stab at catching up a little bit by adding a few new backdated entries:

10/11 - “Saijo Sake Festival” & “Blooming in Bihoku”
11/13 - Fall Colors of Miyajima
11/14 - More Culture - the JHS Culture Festival

Yes, that first one dates back to October - I wrote it offline but never got around to posting it. As an added bonus, they all have lots of pretty pictures. 8-)

I still have a few more entries to catch up on, but might not happen to next week. Highlights of those are another festival here in Mukaihara with traditional dancing and stuff & my trip to Osaka. Plus tomorrow I’m going with a bunch of Hiroshima JETs to Fukuoka to watch sumo and ride roller coasters. So I’ll have to write about that too…

A fellow called Ihra had posted test code for an updated version of the NP_PostMan plugin to nucleus. After installing it and fixing a problem with my crontab (I wasn’t escaping the ‘&’ in the url I was passing lynx, it should be ‘\&’) it seems to work fine. There are some issues with Japanese text encoding, still have to sort them out (but if you switch your encoding over to ISO 2022-JP the text should be readable).

So now I can post pictures and messages from my phone instead of having to upload them later when I get home and perhaps have lost inspiration to post something. And if I actually make it to the top of Fuji next year, I can moblog the sunrise… 8-)

Dunno when, probably 11ish. Woke up sometime after 3am and got inspired to finally work on the PHP to get the little thumbnail for the moblog in the right column working. Largely a hack, but it seems to work now. Unfortunately still haven’t been able to download the code that lets me post via email (the hosting site insists on interpreting the file as PHP instead of displaying it), so haven’t been posting new moblog stuff. If anyone can actually get the code for that, please send it to me — not sure if its some stupid IE vs other browsers mimetype error or something.

Bleh, the sun’s already coming up. Dunno if I’m going to be able to get a couple more hours sleep at this point or not… X-(

Something I did apparently broke my blog’s ability to display images in entries. Trying to figure that out. Mostly posting this to make sure nothing else is broken…

Unfortunately something about the setup didn’t work so well, and it worked even less I bet after I made my recent changes. Well, I’ve contacted the nice people over at Live Journal and they’ve pointed it to the new XML feed. So if you use LiveJournal, you can add tucson_kaidash to your friends list to get TKK updates. Yeah, I’ve also got a LiveJournal account, but not sure if I feel like keeping two journal sites up-to-date (barely do one…).

But I’ve been wanting a few features it didn’t offer and I’ve now got database access that allows me a greater choice of software. I’ve chosen to give Nucleus a try. I’ve ported over all the old entries an comments over by hand (or at least I think I have). The timestamps on the old comments are wrong, haven’t figured out how to change them and the old comments didn’t have dates either. Still need to get the moblog stuff running, but playing with PHP code seems easier for me than Perl (since its similar to C). But let me know if you find anything broken. I think I’m still seeing a few things that are a little funny, but overall it works.

Hmm, seems like one of those days where I break more than I fix… Working thru issues with having put cgi-bin stuff in other directories on my previous setup (new host only allows CGI in that directory, but that directory also isn’t allowed to be writable, thus breaking the Moblog for example). A couple other side effects from that. Also need to fix Gallery links & pics (but you can get there from here, even if it does look it). Plus the title image is stubborn about loading for some inexplicable reason. Oh, and gotta fix the fortune at the bottom of the pages. And…

They seem to get good reviews, don’t set off any red flags in Google & Usenet searches (like your-site.com does), they have a $9.95 plan with 1.2 GIG of storage (gonna have to start scanning some of those old pics!) and stuff. Have to see how it works out. May mean that the website and email could glitch somewhere in the transition, but hopefully will be reasonably smooth. They also have mySQL database access included, so I may tinker with switching over to other blogging software that does some of the other stuff I want to do (like integrated moblog support and metaWeblog posting).
