Bird’s eye views of Carlow

April 19th, 2008 kevin No comments

Microsoft’s Virtual Earth (http://maps.live.com)  has bird’s eye views of Carlow.

Ruins of Carlow Castle as you’ve probably never seen them. You’d need a crane or a plane to get this shot.

The imagery looks like it was taken late last year based on the building work in Shamrock Square and an estate near where I live.

So what happened?

April 11th, 2008 kevin No comments

Between upgrading from wordpress 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 and the following jump to 2.5 I managed to lose all the comments on my posts.

The original 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 upgrade caused some corruption of UTF-8 characters but the comments were still there. Attempting to get to 2.5 to avoid spam attacks left me with no comments at all. They were still there in the database but weren’t being shown.

The installatron control panel couldn’t seem to return me to even the 2.2.2 state so I opted to take the various database backups and rebuild from scratch.

Blog posts and pages are restored (at least for those that get any decent inbound traffic). Now the slightly larger task of cleaning up the comments and re-adding them to the posts.

Comments now restored, phew!

Rebuilding blog contents

April 10th, 2008 kevin No comments

Slowly re-adding the existing posts, and hopefully the comments too. 

Be back shortly…

Just realised that it’s a year to the day since I started this.

11/4/8 – Posts & Pages are back. Onwards to the comments.
