Testing Typo 5.3

I didn’t really mean to leave this blog unattended for six months. I’ve actually written a couple articles and discarded them, as there was no real point. Besides, every other article that I’ve tried posting over the past year has been a colossal pain to post, as my creakingly ancient Typo install was prone to throwing 500s for 5 minutes straight. Somehow, inserting single articles in the to DB was too much work for it.

As part of a massive clean-up, I think I’ve successfully upgraded from a July 2007-ish Typo to last month’s 5.3.0 release. If you’re reading this, than the upgrade was successful.

    I persevered with Typo for a while, and then Mephisto after it, before finally abandoning both for Wordpress. Even though I’m a huge fan of RoR, I found Typo & Mephisto just too much hard work.

    Ironic, given the fact that that demo screencasts for Rails use a blog as the examplar application.

    Yeah, I understand where you’re coming from. Typo has been pretty painful in the past, and it’s largely my fault. This release is really quick; probably an order of magnitude faster than my 4.x install. It’s nice to see that someone has finally spent the time needed to clean up Typo’s DB interaction.

    Personally, I’m alergic to PHP, so I just can’t see using Wordpress, but to each their own :-).

    I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues. Great stuff as usual….

    I’m looking for a new blogging platform as the other ones are just getting to be ridiculous. Might try this one.

    Thanks for the great ASTA in-service. I plan on making my mission to create some electric ensembles this year. It was great visiting with you again. Your enthusiasm and energy for ASTA, music and people is contagious!
