Right now it’s woes, not wow’s – trying to figure out why I can’t get the RetrospectGDS to work, because I want to integrate it with WordPress right here on my site, and while doing so I’m probably driving the coder crazy because when a non-coder who really doesn’t grasps the ins and outs of it all, tries tracking down the cause of something, this non-coder finds a lot of interesting things along the way which raise little flags which are nothing but how it’s supposed to be, but to the non-coder it all yells ALARM ALARM this just can’t be right.
But, but, but… it’s all just so INTERESTING!
After all the false alarms though I do believe I’ve tracked down the true culprit. The coder had written to me and said that I need the latest Fink “gettext” module for Apache and I had Bear check and look and his Fink installer (or whatever he is using) reported that he is using 0.10.40-17 and that this would be the latest version, i.e. up-to-date. This morning, still groggy from late night work, I’m browsing the net to find out more about this gettext thing and after reading here and there I go to Sourgeforge to look at the release versions an guess what – there IS a later version out, not just one, but about 3 later ones, the latest being 0.14 – hah. So there might be a solution to the problem at my fingertips. Now we only need to get this program which thinks it’s up-to-date to accept the later version…

ACTUALLY the comment things is WEIRD-er… more weird… than said just a moment ago. After posting I was able to SEE my 2 comments and it stated NO COMMENTS YET – and OFFICIALLY they where not yet added to the comments, I first had to APPROVE them (as I’ve set WordPress to moderated), and then the comment header changed to reflect the correct amount of comments posted.
I guess that in a way this is cool – people will think their comment as been posted… even if it’s not. Or it is and only the title header changes? Then that would be stupid because why then should I moderate?
Let’s see what comes out of it.
Basically I want to eliminate the moderation que. Else I guess I’ll need to put a little blurb up to let people know what is going on.
Oops, just found something odd here on the page after adding the above comment: the line STILL reads NO COMMENTS YET – which is wrong… odd, older postings do show the right header info there.
Meanwhile we’ve updated the FINK install which in turn DID recognize there was a later gettext module, so now we have the version 0.10.19 installed which is the latest STABLE release of it. FINK took forever to update, but finally did – but still no go. Ran out of ideas at this point. The coder volunteered to check the stuff out on our server, which is really nice of him.
