Yikes, upgrade
OK, so upped my Chyrp install to the current 2.0 RC. I had been running (I think) some intermediate 0.x version that wasn’t even an official release, just a repository checkout — so needless to say, the upgrade path was a little bumpy. I seem to have most everything working OK now, but it turns out my custom template config was hopelessly out-of-date, so I’m running with the default styley for now.
At some point, I will try to figure out how this new templating works and do something fresh, but at least all the content is showing. I have a feeling more people read this via RSS than on the site anyway.
Big plus of the upgrade: XML-RPC support, so I can post with a desktop client now, hooray!
PS - this also appears to have done some weirdness to the feeds. Sorry about that — hopefully it will sort itself out from here out.
Further update - since the comments module has a new version along w/ the rest, I’m trying things w/ comments on for a bit. I’m hoping anti-spam measures work better in this version than the last. We’ll see how it goes.

He was such a great songwriter, I almost hate to post a video of him doing a cover song, but this is a fantastic performance, and kind of a signature tune for him, anyway, even if not his originally. Plus I figure the theme from Shaft is gonna get enough play without any help from me.

Dangit.
[Not sure it’s the best obit out there, but linking to The Commercial Appeal for this just seemed right.]
