Upgrading to 2.5

March 31st, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jaap

Tonight I upgraded WordPress to 2.5 . I must say this is incredibly easy. The upgrade page walks you through completely. One warning:  if you’re using this  page as a walkthrough, one note is mentioned a little late :

Also take care to preserve the wp-config.php file in the root directory, as it contains your database sign-in information. Do note though that usually this will not be a problem since in a new installation the config file will be named wp-config-sample.php

The rest of the upgrade is a piece of cake, backing up took me longer than upgrading itself.

Screenshots were made using Screenshots for Symbian as jpeg and were converted to animated gif. I actually wanted to make a Flash movie of it, but I did not have enough time.

Sharing Mac OS X’s internet connection with the Nokia N95 in 5 easy steps

Connection Sharing

You can choose to set a password with WEP encryption, but the N95 won’t take it

As mentioned in an earlier post, Mac OS X and the N95 can team up pretty good whilst connecting to the internet. While the latter post was about using the N95 as an access point, this one is about exactly the reverse. When you don’t have a decent data program or you don’t have Wi-Fi in your house, you could use your Mac as an access point to your N95. Only problem: it’s not reliable.
