Phew! I finally got around to a much needed upgrade of my WordPress installation; since my hosting provider upgraded to PHP5 a while ago things looked a bit off in this neighbourhood.
Primarily, post order turned from descending to ascending, placing the oldest post on top.
Baroo?

So, it was due time for an upgrade. The previous version of my installation was 2.0.2, and the current one is 2.5.1 (2.6 in still in beta). In the past, upgrading usually was a walk in the park so I wasn’t too worried; nice job for a sunday afternoon, right? Well…
Mostly due to my own clumsiness things didn’t go quite as smooth this time around: on extending the config file with some new statements I accidentally removed the database prefix one, causing WordPress to miss my existing database altogether and install a new, empty one, so no posts and the default theme. Yikes!

Luckily, after re-starting my heart I realised my mistake, added the prefix statement back in and all was good again: my theme was back and so were the posts, this time in the desired order. Success!

Hopefully this will be a good starting point to reactivate this very much dormant blog, with more attention to my slowly–very slowly–growing model railroad interest.

    Have you not made mentions of re-starting this blog before? :P The boyman who cried wolfblog! Nice to hear from you, though.

    Yeah, yeah, I know… It’s just that I haven’t been busy with it for quite a while before last sunday and I discovered (or rather rediscovered) how much fun it is.
    My brother on me telling about it mentioned a good point, though: I don’t really have much to say to the world. It really takes effort to sit down and write a decent post, not something you throw out in a quiet moment at work (of which by example on a day like yesterday were precious few).

    James,

    Thanks for stopping by; glad you like it. I just returned from a holiday in Spain, that’s why I didn’t reply earlier.

    Best regards,
    Ronald.
