PostgreSQL, TV Card and Wordpress updates

So, I finally upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.6 and found out about an annoying bug after a number of user comments: WordPress automatically replaces double dashes (–) with single dashes (-) in your posts, this is very annoying when you post code :).

The good news is that it’s easy to change this behaviour, simply edit your wp-includes/formatting.php file and comment out the line $curl = str_replace($static_characters, $static_replacements, $curl);. Ok, it’s dirty to edit WordPress files directly but here you go, it works…

Another quick note, I updated 2 older posts to reflect changes in Fedora 9:
