Wordpress 2.8 fail

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I have tried to update my wordpress to version 2.8 and made a complete mess to my admin section. Although apparently the website was still working, the admin panel was nowhere to be seen. First of all I have received some gateway errors and other crap, when using automatic update, then after talking with my hosting providers (MyHost – very nice people indeed, and very helpful too) they advised me to try to reinstall the wordpress again.

I have done that again and again until it occured to me that something was terribly wrong with it. After some research on the internet I have found out that there are some major problems to the dashbord and support of some plugins. I have tried to remove the plugins but it nothing happened. I took a very wise decision then and downgrated to version 2.7. Now it all works perfectly.

As for the update, I will probably wait for version 2.8.1 to appear and the plugins to be updated. :)

New “Semantic Site Search” engine

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Inbenta announces the launch of “Semantic Site Search”, a new service (SaaS-based) that provides search to any website within the cloud computing. After four years of development (project codename: voldemort), this search service includes Semantic Search capabilities and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Site owners will be able to easy-integrate Semantic Search engine on their site and their content. Other features include customization, XML ,API, and real-time reporting tools.

The service will be offered for free for individuals, NLP&search professionals, developers, education and SMEs.

This search approach has its foundations in lexical functions and Meaning-text theory (I. Mel’čuk , A. Žolkovskij, J. Apresjian).
