I’ve been using WordPress for quite sometime, and in that time i’ve updated WordPress probably close to 8 or 9 times due to security issues. It’s getting old; and every single time I look at the source I can’t imagine i’m running such an application to espouse my ideas of better content management but I continue using it because of laziness. It just makes no sense really and this last security hole is just such an unbelievable gaff that I can’t continue to use WordPress. That said I’ve started to adapt Plone with Quills as my new blogging platform of choice. This so far has involved getting my modified theme on-top of it. I was in the middle of writing for an upcoming conference; between that, scanning in these family photos, photo projects and generally keeping my self distracted by skirts, it’s coming along. There is a shoddy but viewable preview here on 8080 it almost looks close but there is a lot to do. Some of this functionality will probably not make it back into Quills, well maybe some of it like the external links and one off pages but Quills is really template specific so all of this would have to be one off for your specific theme. If you are interested how I did this I’ll probably write something but it involves modifying the quills views/templates and changing of css and a terminal page of code at the most. The actual administration interface is still Plone like. Hopefully this is one of the last few blog posts from me in WordPress though. It’s just unacceptable; the sad part is that everyone thinks that upgrade after upgrade after upgrade is normal.
Other than that I’m thinking I need another vacation.. One month in Barbados was enough to make me want more; these long nights heh.. Aight.. lemme get on this netflix queue and hit the beach tomorrow.
Christopher Warner is part genius, part idiot. This makes him well balanced. He's worked on numerous opensource projects with great people and has generally led an eventful and fulfilling life. He hopes to retire an old man in a rocking chair should he be so fortunate.
