Now on PostgreSQL 8.4
All FreshPorts servers are now running PostgreSQL 8.4 (they were running 8.3). The upgrade process was rather straight forward. I documented it during the first upgrade (of my development server).

I found this bug

As such, if you were to browe to http://www.freshports.org/docs/, you’d see this: Index of /docs Name Last modified Size Description Parent Directory – 404-for-virtual-pages.php 25-Oct-2007 12:57 8.2K Using 404 errors to serve up virtual pages

Welcome to Unemployment
Welcome to unemployment. What was ironic about today: At lunch, I dropped off a cheque to the car dealer for the car I’d picked up two Fridays ago. At 2pm, I was fired. DOH! Bummer. My resume. Thank you.
