The latest update for wordpress was released some days ago. Today I upgraded this blog too - I hope everything still works. But I have to upgrade some more blogs and thats a damn job. I am using subversion to get new files, but I still have to upgrade for every single blog. For sure I have changes on the layout differing from blog to blog, so something may fail. Maybe I should give wordpress multi-user a try?
Sometimes you need this Microsoft os called Windows, e.g. for updating your nokia mobile firmware. I’ve been happy to see, that the firmware for my E51 was updated some days ago. I tried to use the NSU (Nokia Software Updater) but the connection failed again and again. I even turned off my firewall in XP but nothing happend.
Searching for the given error message did not lead to a result (german message and english support board), but I’ve found the english error message, something with “NOL” - and there was the hint: NSU uses IE’s proxy settings to connect to the update server. This sucks and is not documented anywhere! I’ve changed my IE proxy settings for using IE at my uas only - and using firefox for “real” work.
Mozilla’s Thunderbird was updated to version 2.0.0.9 two days ago and I realized that my (self-installed) TB was still 2.0.0.6. So I started my mail client with root permissions, cause the “update thunderbird” was grey as standard user (still don’t know how to fix it, I’ve installed it manually for trying the new TB2 features).
The first problem: I got a virgin application… All my mails… GONE!!!! I don’t know why, but I got a more or less empty prefs.js, but after replacing it was an (older) security copy, everything was fine again.
And today? I found a bug that I did not notice as a bug yet. I searched for an email, I sent to myself some hours ago (from work) and I didnt find it in the inbox. But I had some duplicate entries (3 mails were shown twice). One of the new TB2 features revealed the miracle: One of these “duplicates” was my “missing” mail. I found it in a virtual folder which shows the newest mails of all of my (imap) inboxes (The are lots of possibilities to configure those kind of folders). And how to fix it? I did not find a solution yet, but a workaround: I just moved one mail to another folder, opened this folder an moved the file back: yeah, splitted again… both mails are back.
