However, I’ve just discovered an unofficial add-on that solves the issue. Head on to Techie Buzz to read the full story, or visit the authors download page (Linux, Windows) directly to grab the code.

Finally, please keep in mind that this add-on is both unofficial and in beta. It works for me but in there it might be dragons

Any comments or updated info please don’t hesitate to share!

Just run standalonestack2.exe to create and customize your stack! When you have created your stack, you can open option with it, just hold CTRL key when you run it.

Let me know what you think of it! I always like to try things that make Windows (XP) look less boring

Basically the video acts like a normal web page controlled by JavaScripts and according to TechCrunch this might be the beginning of the end for Flash movies.

You can always get the latest beta here if you want to give it a go. Developers will find answers and info here.

Now I’m just waiting for the final release – what’s your thoughts about the new “no-plugin needed” thingy? Will it open a new world of security holes or will it be for the better?

The latest release fixes 790 bugs and all parts should be faster and smoother (as always).

More release info is found here, and further insight for the curious here.

I’ll try to get it all done today – and with any luck the site will still be up and running. If you’ve already updated please let me know if you’ve encountered any strange happenings!

Update

Things look like they are working after upgrading – some bugs on the Dashboard but after refreshing it should go away (I hope).

If you encounter the following error under your “Incoming links”; Fatal error: Call to a member function get_link() on a non-object – please let me know and I’ll dive into it as it could be a bug…

Update 2

Bug fixed – well not really a bug to be honest, but problem solved at least…

Visit the news room to read the full press release.

I’ve only tested it for a few days but must admit it looks nice. Also I believe it is slightly faster than previous versions. Start-up time also appears to be quicker.

If you’ve tested it let me know which of the new features you like the most.

Basically WordPress allows you to manipulate your configuration file so that when certain criterions are met you can override the default home and blog URI’s set in the database.

By doing so you can have more or less unlimited domains pulling the same files and data from one single WordPress installation.

Here’s how you do it

Open wp-config.php in your favourite editor (Notepad, Dreamweaver etc.) and add the following:

if (preg_match("/\bwww.example1.com\b/i", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || preg_match("/\bwww.example1.com\b/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.example1.com');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.example1.com');
}

If you need more domains just add more by repeating the above starting the next “block” with elseif.

Feel free to comment and/or suggest different ways of doing this.

The multidisciplinary group of 10 students from The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) works on an Urban Concept vehicle as a Project and Master Thesis to be published later this year. With yesterday’s victory and new World Record in Shell Eco-Marathon this sure looks promissing.

The car’s petrol consumption was down to an incredible 1 liter per 1246 km – simply amazing! Now they just have to convince the car industry to start using their technology and the world would be a slightly greener place

As part of this release, they’ve also launched a bit of a redesign of the “more menu”.

I for one think this link sharing / bookmark service is the best one out there. If you think otherwise please let me know which service you use and why it’s better.

A while back the international competitor, Alexa.com, did something similar but I think Compete is way ahead this time when it comes to user interface.

The only main downside is that most of the data on compete.com requires you buying a Pro account which most people (myself included) can’t afford.

Should all these data be free and available for everyone? And what’s your opinion on these traffic/rank sites? Feel free to share your thoughts/concerns/ideas in the comments below.

The reason this happens is basically due to the fact that some form values should NOT be used as they will cause a conflict with the variables passed by WordPress itself. Among them are values like: name, day, year etc.

So, if you are running in to this issue/bug yourself you can isolate the “forbidden” values by simply filling in one value on the form after another and performing a quick submit between each and every one. As soon as you get the 404 error you will know you’ve found one (of potentially several) values you will have to rename.

What you need to do then is give your form field (e.g. text input, textarea or select box) a new name. A field named “year” could then be passed on as “dyear” or similar. Nothing more to it actually.

Please feel free to comment should I’ve left something out, or leave a thank you if I saved you some headaches and time

Happy coding!

The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework.
