Off to WordCamp Seattle tomorrow. I’ve got a short speaker slot talking about my experiences hosting my own blogs.
I remember back to the first ever WordCamp in summer 2006 in San Francisco. That was a fun day of sessions for the new platform.
Phew – it all passed:
One thing I didn’t find in my testing and change control was a PHP and XML parsing bug.
Documented in several places – libxml2 2.7.x and greater have a known issue.
One workaround is to force in libxml2 version 2.6.x
Not the most glamorous fix – but opensuse.org has the old libraries from openSUSE 11.0
The better (but more complex) fix is to upgrade PHP to 5.2.9 and libxml2 to 2.7.3
opensuse.org has the correct pieces from openSUSE 11.1

I just noticed that I moved this blog to WordPress 1.5 some four years ago!
Prior to that I had several online things – including a static html status and news diary.
Here’s a post on this from April 2005 – my first online web page was in 1993!
WordPress 2.8 RC1 is out – looking very good.
Also John Godfrey updated the audit-trail plugin.
