Article copy

I'll be upgrading the copy of Expression Engine, on which I run this site, to the latest version in a bit.

The purpose of this upgrade is to make strange unexpected things that previously happened to stop happening while presumably introducing as little new strange unexpected things, or just enough to warrant a future upgrade, and justify the ongoing cost of upgrade licenses.

So if anything strange and unexpected happens, it might be that I'm in the middle of the upgrade, in which case they might stop happening as soon as I'm finished with it, or that the new stack of strange and unexpected things has been successfully introduced.

Software development, now there's a nice racket.

(Having said that, I'm quite happy with Expression Engine, both from the designer and the blogger's point of view. They're a bit steep on the prices, but they're quite good at fixing the strange unexpected things.)

Update


That went well. Complaints in the comments or by email, in case you don't share my opinion and have a different experience of the upgrade.

Si ça foire, vous n'êtes pas en train de lire ça

Je vais mettre à jour la copie d'Expression Engine, sur laquelle je publie ce site, dans quelques instants.

Le but de cette mise à jour est de prévenir les trucs bizarres et inattendus qui tendaient à se produire, tout en introduisant probablement un minimum de nouveaux trucs bizarres et inattendus, ou peut être juste assez pour justifier une mise à jour future, ainsi que les coûts de licences de renouvellement.

En conséquence, si quelques trucs bizarres et inattendus se produisent, c'est que je suis en train de procéder à la mise à jour, auquel cas ils cesseront probablement de se produire dès que j'en aurai terminé, ou bien que la nouvelle liste de trucs bizarres et inattendus a été introduite avec succès.

Le développement logiciel, vraiment un chouette racket.

(Cela étant, je suis plutôt satisfait d'Expression Engine, tant du point de vue du designer que du blogger. Ils sont un peu chaud niveau prix, mais plutôt efficaces pour régler les trucs bizarres et inattendus.)

Mise à jour


Cela s'est plutôt bien passé. Réclamations dans les commentaires, ou par email si vous ne partagez pas mon opinion et avez une expérience différente de cette mise à jour.

Under Reconstruction

Hey, where's all the stuff?

I am rebuilding the site from the ground up.

As of December 02, 2020, only basic blogging is implemented.

Features that were previously available—and a bunch of new ones—are still under (re)construction, and will be deployed gradually as soon as they are ready. That includes the site-wide search engine, the blogroll, membership registration and, well, more...

So all the stuff is coming back?

Yes, thank you for your patience.

Note that some of the legacy content (anything I published before the current redesign) may not display as expected—this will be addressed in the future.
