I used to run an old blog, and I'm thinking about resurrecting it.

The problem?

I'd like to hide all the older entries. The last one I wrote was in 2008.

:shifty:.

I'm thinking of doing a complete over haul of the site and just... re-doing it completely and doing a whole new .. scheme.

But, I'd like to hide the site's actual older posts.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks guys and gals.

I suppose it doesn't matter anymore though.. I tried updating to the latest version .. followed all the directions.. and when I hit refresh on my site... all I get is a white page on my site. :(

I think I destroyed my site.

I'll have to ask my brother who helped me set it up in the first place what I did wrong.

You didn't destroy anything, just sounds like something either didn't get fully updated or bad permissions.

Did you try upgrading via the backend / automatic way or did you manually upload via FTP?

PS - If you have aim, send me an IM to jordanriane and I can probably help you out with it.

I r wordpress pr0. ;). 6 years under my belt of being able to screw up wordpress every way possible :D

Yeah, I can guarantee that the server you're on hit their memory wait/max time out and you have partially uploaded folders and/or wrong permissions.

http://wordpress.org/latest.zip -- Manually upload. Don't need to worry about it overwriting anything, and you can always skip the wp-content directory.

Next time you want to auto upgrade, I highly recommend you deactivate all plugins first. You might have a greater chance of a successful upgrade.

Thats.. what I did .. D: I think I forgot to disable plugins though.. and thats what screwed up. :(

And the server is my brothers own server. It'll never time out unless I specify time out time.

I get that a lot when I manually update my site. Just be sure to have your databases protected.

      too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
