With a little bit of trepidation, I upgraded to the new Wordpress 2.5. The upgrade actually went very smoothly. I followed the extended upgrade instructions since I have made customizations to the design but had no glitches.
There have been many updates to the new blogging package. The re-design of the admin section is very nice. Evidently there are significant security upgrades as well. Check out the official announcement at the Wordpress blog.
The virtual version of the Newseum in Washington, DC that I mentioned previously is now open. Check out the post by EB Creations who are the very talented designers responsible.
Today I needed to extend a logical volume in the native LVM of RHEL 5. I remembered how to extend the volume but wanted to review the exact method for resizing the (ext3) filesystem on it. All the documentation I could find including on RedHat’s knowledgebase indicated the command “ext2online” should be used (based on RHEL 4.) No such command existed on the RHEL 5 system and I could find no official sources to install it. I finally ran across this post indicating someone’s similar frustration that apparently RH changed the command to “resize2fs” without any warning. With this information, I was able to do the resize in seconds. Thanks RedHat.
I ran across a very useful little how-to on setting idle timeouts for shell logins in Linux (any bash actually.) It’s funny how you can work with something for years and miss the little tricks.
