Ok last night I wailed about * Scout's (the name of my MSI Wind U100x) minor current of electricity emanating from the VGA port issue which I'm glad to report has dispersed as quickly as it appeared, indicating that it might merely be a static electricity situation as I was using it on my bed [...]
Just updated to the not - completely - necessary - but - update - it - anyway latest version of Wordpress, also called a 'Maintenance Release'.
As is my habit, I will test it here for a few days before going on and updating the other sites. Which of course would be a completely useless test [...]
I've managed to migrate MomEx posts, which run on Wordpress, to Drupal 5.9 on my test server. Whoopee!
I used Wordpress Import, a pretty powerful tool which is still in development mode. On the surface it's a straightforward process of installing the module, uploading your Wordpress .wxr file and then mapping out which posts are 'owned' [...]
I need to write this down to serve as a list in determining a mass migration of my sites from Wordpress to Drupal, so I'll just blog it right? I'll start with a list of a few Wordpress issues I am frustrated with, off the top of my head:
Asides: I wanna show posts (or post [...]
I upgraded this blog and now my permalinks structure causes 404 errors.
I have reverted this to use Wordpress Default, and am not using permalinks at the moment.
I am investigating the sql file and my (very few) plugins but I don't know if the issue is there. I think it may have to do with rules [...]
The mailing list went all quiet last week and I thought it was a lull, but apparently it really is down, as a message I posted was not read by Migs when I asked him about it. Am waiting for it to go up again, but until then, the best I can do is publish [...]
And not a moment too soon. Work was piling up and me without a good working computer is like.. Moses without the tablets. Ok I know that doesn't make sense. Goes to show what happens when I don't have a PC with me for a long time. Anyway let's bring on the pics:
Above is my [...]
I'm writing this with assumptions on how this latest Ubuntu might appear to newbies primarily because of our long term plan to create a distribution for local internet cafes. In this respect, I'm hoping to create a one - size - fits - all (or as many as possible at least) distributable, bootable image that [...]
I just fixed one of the most confounding problems I'd ever come across on Wordpress, so I'm sharing how I did it because I definitely couldn't find the solution after weeks of trying.
See I was trying to get the valid XML feed for a particular Tag or Category from this blog, a process I've instigated [...]
I think for the most part, the tech issues that interest, or rather more to the point - get a rise out of me - most are open source, privacy, and 'understanding the 'net issues. More specifically occasions when open source isn't achieved, is attacked, misread or misunderstood. This extends to privacy and the use [...]
