I installed WordPress 0.71 and 1.0.1 on a test site yesterday, as I’d never used those versions of WordPress before. Very pretty.
While I do like the look of the new WordPress 2.5, I wish they retained the greyish styles, Georgia typeface, and witty text in UI screens.
Those old versions of WordPress had a charm that seems to have been missing from the last couple of releases. I want my grey buttons with an even greyer border hover effect back! Please!
I’m back from Spain. Yes, we made it back in one piece.
As to why I didn’t blog when I arrived: I couldn’t bear typing in my browser when it was running so slowly. As I’ve written, I’m running WordPress MU trunk, and there is currently a JavaScript bug that makes using the Write Post screen really painful.
Just reverted to revision 1259, and it’s all good.
I just wanted to say I’ve made it to Spain in one piece.
Plane flight was unpleasant (should’ve bought ear plugs), but everything else so far has been great. I’m writing this from Salamanca — I managed to find an unsecured wireless access point which is a little flaky, but I’ve managed to check my email and update my WordPress MU site, etc.
The drive to Salamanca from Madrid reminded me a lot of the area around Goulburn, Yass, and Crookwell. They even had wind power generators on the tops of hills, which makes me feel good charging my batteries. There was lots of construction going on on the highway — looks like lots of bridges are being constructed.
Oh, also, diesel is 115.7 Euro cents per litre.
I should probably mention that we walked through the town of Segovia, which was pretty neat (saw a Roman aqueduct, and nearly got run over by an ambulance that drove through it), and the castle in the town. Awesome stuff.
Anyway, gotta catch up on sleep to get rid of my jet lag, which is currently causing my eyes to get sore.
I’ll be AFK for the next two weeks.
Why? I’m travelling with the BlueScope Steel Youth Orchestra to Spain! This tour, we’ll be visiting places like Madrid, Salamanca, and Bilbao, and of course, performing in concerts.
If I have any internet access while I’m there, I’ll try and blog, and possibly upload photos, but that’s not necessarily going to happen.
Adiós, Australia!
Just a little FYI — I’m running WordPress MU trunk (merged with WordPress 2.5) on this site right now, and it’s fairly stable and most things aren’t broken. It’s worth starting testing WPMU trunk now and start reporting bugs.
