I spent this weekend updating the web apps that I run on my web sites. That’s always fun.
- Updated my TextPattern install on this web site to v4.0.5. I also splurged on a copy of MarsEdit to manage my blog postings. If it works well with this blog I’ll be adding blogs to some of my other sites and using it there as well.
- Updated MediaWiki to v1.11.0 on New London Rocks! and McD’s Huskies Hoops.
- Updated the phpBB forum software to v3.0RC5 on New London Rocks! Apparently it has been a while since I checked out the forums because since February it has become loaded with spam. Spent an hour deleting all of it and installing a mod so that I could do mass deletion of bogus user accounts, and changing settings to require admin activation of new accounts.
- Updated OpenAds to v2.3.39 beta on New London Rocks! That’s the app the handles the banner ads on the site. Ran into a problem with this one so I had to roll back to the previous version until I have time to figure out the problem.
- Updated my genealogy site to v6.1.2 of TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding). I also uploaded a complete new GEDCOM file with all my latest info.
- I was going to update the Gallery app that runs the photo gallery on The Reducers web site but I want to install Gallery2 and I need to read some more about how to upgrade from Gallery1 before I attempt the upgrade.
I need to add a recurring event every 3 months to remind myself to check for updates for all of these apps on a regular basis.
