UVic in the grid, surprise ending

University of Victoria: UVic Helps Form World's Largest International Computer Grid

I just read that page, and thought it was cool, so I was going to link to it. Then I saw this at the bottom:

WHOA! It's a Plone 2-based site! Very cool. I should see if I can get together with Randall Sobie next term.

B.C. Finance Minister resigns

CBC: B.C. Finance Minister Gary Collins resigns

So he becomes the CEO of the new Vancouver-based Harmony Airlines? Either he has low expectations for his workload as the CEO, or he should have hired some more assistants at the Ministry of Finance... (or he has low expectations for the upcoming election, but I don't know him or his riding so that's just an off-the-top-of-my-head suggestion)

Plone 2.0.5 for Mac OS X

I just uploaded the Plone 2.0.5 installer for Mac OS X to SourceForge and updated the Available downloads page on plone.org.

This new version includes newer versions of Python and Zope, as well as built-in support for PIL (thanks to Johnie for getting it building properly in our standalone build!).

One thing I just thought about... say you have a Plone instance (2.0.4 or earlier) that you've installed Archetypes 1.3 in. If you run the upgrade_2.0.5 script on that instance, it will be "upgraded" to Archetypes 1.2.5rc5, the standard version that comes with Plone Core 2.0.5. Perhaps the upgrade script should compare version numbers. Right now what it does is replace products in the instance's Products folder with the version from the latest Plone Core. Of course it doesn't touch products that aren't in Plone Core, so if you installed PloneArticle or something like that, it wouldn't be touched.

I think the upgrade script is meant for people who run things standard. People who manually install add-ons and such are not likely to run the script or will read the script before running it. Hopefully that issue doesn't affect anyone. In any case, the old products are backed up of course, they aren't just deleted.

HyperEdit

Tumult: HyperEdit

This looks like a very useful editor. I don't use PHP so its PHP functionality is of little use to me, but I can see its linked file support (for live editing web pages with linked CSS and graphics) and JavaScript evaluation facilities being very handy.

I found this via the Cocoalicious Honor Roll entry on Buzz Andersen's weblog, linked from Stepwise.
