Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-09-25

• @tollie Your WP code worked great! Thanks for the help. http://leoville.com is back to it's former glory (minus a few unbacked-up images.) #
• OK the TWiT Army Canteen is working again (I'm soaking in it), Leoville and TWiT.tv are back. All that remains is the donor forums. #

Security Now Do Over

There was an error in the editing of today's Security Now. We pushed only the first third of the show. I've pulled it down and I'll fix it in the morning. Apologies. UPDATE: The full version has been uploaded and should be available for you in iTunes or on TWiT.tv or in the Radio Leo player on the right.

Redecorating The Canteen

I think I've got the TWiT Army Canteen running again. We'll reskin the place later today, with the help of TheFrogMan and Mongo. You'll will have to sign up again, one more time, and recreate your avatar. So so sorry. I'm backing up daily now so this won't happen again. It's running Laconica 0.6 with some nice new features including favorites, direct messaging, and a Twitter bridge. I'm still having trouble with XMPP - so track and IM access are not yet up and running - but we'll get that licked soon. Thanks for your patience and support. At ease. See you in the Canteen!

I'm Back Baby

Well I think I've got this place pretty much back to where it was. In fact, I took this opportunity to upgrade to the latest version of my theme, Revolution 3.0, and make some minor cosmetic improvements. I'm liking it even better now than before. I lost many of the images from past posts, but it turns out that both my graphics program, Skitch, and my blog editor, MarsEdit, preserve uploaded images in an archive, so I was able to get most of the pictures from 2008 back on the blog. Thanks Plasq and Daniel! Only one thing is stumping me. I can't remember the Wordpress command to insert the most recent post in a given category. I use that on the front page to put the most recent news and blog posts at the bottom on either side of the Stickam video. It's a little Wordpress PHP and it's quite handy, since I don't need to do anything to update it. Do you know what I'm talking about? Got any idea what the syntax is? UPDATE: Tollie gave me the command - I've got it working. Thanks Tollie! Now it's on to resuscitating the TWiT Army and TWiT Contributor Forums. I'm going to take this opportunity to fold the forums back into the TWiT.tv Drupal. Among other things this will automate logins from new contributors. The TWiT Army Canteen should be up pretty soon with a much improved design, thanks to The Frogman and Mongo. Sounds like a Morning Zoo team, doesn't it. And I've learned my lesson. Daily backups are in progress. Automatically. So, knock on wood, this will never happen again. Let me know if you spot any bugs. I think everything is back working again.
