Tabula Rasa

The WordPress goddess issued dire warnings today, about hacks in the offing which forced me to do a rather hasty upgrade of my installation to the latest and greatest 2.8.4.^[1] The upgrade meant a lot of stuff borking, and I’ve been able to bring this site back up only after a lot of heartburn and many disabled 2.6 era plugins.

Sadly, the purty look that this (micro)blog sported was also a casualty. The aforementioned was made possible by writing a custom scheme for K2 1.0 RC6, along with some theme-level hacks. K2 had to be upgraded to RC8 which rendered the layout unusable^[2]

Fear not, however. The Dark Lord shall endeavor to restore this site to glory once again: at the very least, re-enabling the previous layout, or if he’s lucky, get someone to do a redesign.

2. it may not seem so but RC6 and RC8 are more than a year apart, in K2′s almost debian-like development cycle (↩)
