Upgrades!

So, today (and last night), three of the things I use often got upgrades. Yay!

First of all, Linkinus v2 was released last night. This is the Mac IRC client that I use in place of mIRC. I really do miss mIRC from when I was using Windows, however Linkinus is a decent replacement and v2 is fairly nice. It brings a nice new stylesheet (actually, several) for the IRC display, and loads of other new features. After struggling to get it to play nice with my BNC, it does now, and it’s all working nicely. The only issue that I have now is the somewhat excessive RAM usage. It was using 250MB earlier, after being open overnight, and having just restarted it now, it’s now using a still somewhat excessive 140MB, which I think it quite a lot. However, overall, v2 is a decent upgrade.

Anyway, next up, WordPress (which is what my blog runs on). v2.8 was released today, and I’ve upgraded to it already. Except, again, it’s now introduced an issue. The “New Post” page, where I write new blog posts, has a WYSIWYG interface – basically, like in Microsoft Word, you can change the font, bold, italics, insert URLs, and so on, all with a small toolbar at the top of the page. However, it’s not working. It’s just disappeared. I tried re-running the upgrade script…nothing. So, I downloaded it from the WordPress site and uploaded it that way…nothing. It’s just disappeared. So I hope they can fix that soon.

Finally, Delicious Library 2. This is a Mac-only application that is very useful, as it keeps track of books, DVDs, games, and so on. I use it to keep an index of my Blu-ray discs and PS3 games, and it works very well. In the past day or so, it, too, has had an update, which adds support for a native iPhone application that they’ve just released. Overall, it works well, and the iPhone app is pretty nice. Luckily, I’ve not had any issues with it, which is good, so it’s all working fine, along with Linkinus.

But WordPress isn’t. And I hope it’s fixed, and soon.
