I upgraded to WordPress 3.5 and some plugins last night. The automatic install went smoothly as always, but dammit! something went wrong. Problems: “Add New Post” won’t switch from Text to Visual Quicktags toolbar was blank or missing “Add Media” popped up a red box alerting me that the WP 3.5 media uploader was New […]

WordPress 2.3.1 Upgrade
yeah Just upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1. The release, not the release candidate. I wound up have to go into phpMyAdmin and set the auto_increment value in some of the MySQL tables. Now that I’ve sorted it out, I have to say that so far I like it. Sidebar widgets and tags are built right in.

Snakes on a Plane [2006] [R] – 8.9.6 I was poking around in the access log trying to figure out why recycled canvas isn’t talking to its server and found the following entry: 80.4.10.129 – – [23/Aug/2007:05:32:37 -0700] “GET /~void/category/snakes-on-a-plane/ HTTP/1.1” 200 15854 “http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=snakes+on+a+plane+sex+bit&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&safe=active” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6” It […]
Drawing Flowers in Excel
Ok, so they’re not flowers, they’re lemniscates. If you are using IE 5.01 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later and the Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components, you can play with this interactively by clicking on the flower. IE may give you a security warning. Apparently IE doesn’t trust Excel. The equation is ampl + PM […]
Netflix WatchNow, but use IE
Netflix Watch Now! Netflix started rolling out their WatchNow instant video feature in January. If it hasn’t shown up in your account yet, try the link above to activate it. Oh, but try it in Internet Exploder. It doesn’t work in Firefox. Netflix WatchNow tests your connection speed to choose what video quality to stream. […]
The Big Time
Well, I finally made it to the big time. Well, no, what I really mean is that the spambots found “Into The Void” this week and they are hammering my WordPress blog with comment spam. I’ve received 500-some requests in the last 48 hours. Would anyone in their right mind patronize a company that has […]
Review of the Siemens SX66
Santa wasn’t very good to me this year. I suspect that he heard me accidentally call him Satan the week before Christmas. Or maybe he figured out that I’m a techno-Pagan. I bought myself a toy instead. It’s better that way… I got exactly what I wanted and I didn’t have to be a good […]
