WordPress Upgrade, and Mac Tricks?

inanis — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:11:46 +0000

Not enough crap going on, so I upgraded my WordPress installation. Like everyone else using the dreaded “index.php” configuration (which I used by accident in the beginning and now can’t change it easily because the permalinks are now all set…) I was having problems with my static pages not showing. A stupid hack fixed it until the next WordPress version comes out.

I am gonna be doing some Stupid Geek Tricks with an old Mac or even an old Apple II soon. Nothing somebody else hasn’t already done, but its fun to do. More to come…

Oooh, and this is frickin’ sweet: Apple II GS Toys

Goodbye to MacOS X

The partition for my MacOS X install was smaller than I would have liked, so I tried to change it with an Ubuntu Live CD and parted. Sometimes I just like to change things to see what happens. It caused the system to be unbootable.

Guess I learned, huh? I may reinstall it, I may not. Haven’t decided yet. It was fun while it lasted, though.

UPDATE 11/1: Back up and running, like anyone cares. :oP

UPDATE 11/4: I have given up on MacOSX for now, for multiple reasons. Moving on.

MacOS X 10.3 on a Bondi Blue G3/iMac

Installing MacOS X 10.3 on a Bondi Blue G3/iMac on a blank IDE drive is weird. You have to boot to the CD, use the menu to switch to Disk Utility, partition the drive without MacOS 9 drivers, restart the Mac, boot to the CD AGAIN and then install the OS.

If you don’t do the restart after partitioning the drive, it states “You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. You cannot start your computer from this volume.”

WEIRD.
