I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and run a plugin update check. Most of the plugins work, which is amazing! Some plugins (two out of 31) were outdated and the automatic update procedure (either through the plugin central “plugin” or built-in wordpress, I dont know) worked out of the box, too. I just had to input my ftp credentials. Upgrading wordpress to 2.5 went without any major troubles as I used subversion. Again I had to use the sw command instead of the up command.
(see when-svn-up-does-not-work-wordpress-subversion for more and replace 2.3.3 by 2.5, else you downgrade by chance). Weird. Akismet was kind of “crapped out”, so was was form-advanced.php. I deleted them through putty and run an svn update again which fixed it.

Also I did the monthly sql optimization and junked out 9mb of crap. phpMyAdmin’s “optimize” sql works a charm!

What I need to do-
- contact alinks author-
- http://www.alinks.org/ as it is broken in version 1.0rc1
- fix the ela archive: Could not open cache file ‘2008-4.dat’
-restore my fancy 404 page which I seem to have lost. anyone got it?
404 chibby page where are you!
- fix search (looks crap)
- update some of my themes?

There are a bunch of new plugins I want to test, but that has to wait till I have my term paper done (sigh)
