Exploring technical issues
My Admin hat (Unix / Web) is on now.
I’ve been in the middle of a few systemwide changes to accomodate some FarPoint Media needs, as well as some needed updates and conversions to a host of show websites.
Some of them are rather involved, and no amount of Googling turned up the full solution to any of the issues I’ve been working on. So I’m going to eventually be posting the solutions I came up with, in the hopes that maybe they can help out someone else later.
The big tasks:
* getting Mailman to work on a subdomain of a Plesk hosted domain where mail for the domain is being delivered elsewhere
* converting several websites from Drupal 5.1 to Wordpress 2.5 directly
I think I’ve dabbled in and tweaked more MySQL in the past week than I have ever.
There were also some little tasks, that most likely won’t be posted here:
* customizing Darren Hoyt’s Mimbo2 theme to incorporate more image options
* getting Amazon’s pop-up link enhancer to work in Justin Tadlock’s Options theme (details may show up in the Options forums)
