This is a good pic-a-day/project 365 effort: a Polaroid a day for 2009. Takes a little investment though.
I fixed the WordPress issues I was seeing by simply deleting the rewrite_rules from the database, just wiped ‘em out. WP generated a new set and all seems to be well now.
So, to be clear, it had nothing to do with apache server configuration, nothing to do with php, nothing to do with FreeBSD or OS X, and everything to do with WordPress and its self-appointed experts who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
Color me annoyed.
Looks like this WordPress install is fouled up beyond recovery. Permalinks no longer work in any form but as numeric values (pretty!). Feeds weren’t working but now seem to be. The admin UI has no idea what theme is being used. Editing anything via the UI no longer works.
Yes, I realize it’s free software but shouldn’t it work regardless?
Lots of stuff seems to have stopped working properly over the last few months. The tech support/forums are full of unanswered variations on the same questions I have on the same issues. If they don’t care, why should I?
found this in the drafts.
Instead, I think[,] like most people, the[y]se developers are cursed with an agenda of selfishness. So long as they have an unrestricted ability to play in their little sandbox, they’re content. Start throwing up barriers, and they’ll elect or adopt any philosophy convenient to their case.
That it’s often libertarianism seems more a coincidence of convenience than anything else.
They also have the weird habit of saying “we” when they mean “me.”
