External Hard Drive Testing
Tested Nate's external hard drive tonight. Downloaded current drivers for the Orange Micro USB 2.0 PCCard and the LaCie drive. After installing under Windows 2000, and a quick reboot, I plugged in the drive and it worked flawlessly. Very simple. Nate had the 40 GB drive configured as a single NTFS partition. He had compression turned on, giving him almost 80 GB of effective storage. I can't use the same configuration, as I need to use an external drive with Windows 2000, Windows XP, an iMac, and a PowerBook. This requires that I have at least one partition formatted as a FAT for the Macs to recognize. The drive seemed slow when writing my entire Radio UserLand directory tree to it. It was very fast when reading a single large file from the external hard drive to my laptop.
Radio Configuration Changes
At work, modified the active Renderer CSS file on my test category and training class outline behind the firewall to increase paragraph font size.
At home, after making another backup (duh!), made manual edits to the Radio weblogdata.root file to remove some post titles. Untitled posts do not appears in the "Index of Posts" that I implemented a few days ago.
Tested changes to the master item template to display the category under each post if other than the home page.
Removed the YACCS comment system. It caused pages to load too slowly. When the YACCS servers were toooo sloooow, a post link would not appear at all. It is unlikely that I would have received many comments posted here. People can still use the email link on the home page to send comments.
Added redirect pages in various subdirectories based on Rick's initial post "Prevent Directory Browsing in Radio" today and subsequent follow-up today.
