We upgraded the Wordpress software that runs the blog to the new 2.3.1 version, in response to vulnerabilities present in the old version. There was some downtime this afternoon (intermittent over ~10 minutes) as I switched our installation over to manual (as opposed to Debian package-managed) and then upgraded to the latest version. In the process, I set up a system so that hopefully future upgrades will happen immediately after release of a new stable version, and should cause zero downtime.
About
Northern Bites is Bowdoin College’s robot team.
We compete in the Standard Platform League of RoboCup where teams consisting of Nao robots each play on a field of 7.4 m x 5.4 m. The robots operate fully autonomously; there is no external control by humans or computers.
We placed 2nd in the SPL in 2009, 3rd in the Aibo league in 2008, and were World Champions in 2007.
