Google Pages UMM???

I really wanted to review and chat about Google Pages considering everybody is talking about it right now. Unfortunately all I get to see is this 500 Error.

Maybe it will work later? Ah the joy of Betas.

Stattraq 1.0b, WP 2.01 and IE7 Beta bug fix

I was updating a site for a friend today when I came across a weird error using StatTraq 1.0B by Randy Peterman, WordPress 2.01 and the latest IE7 Beta.

With the plugin installed and running everything works fine in Firefox and other browsers, however, when I attempted to load the site I was working on in IE7 Beta, the page flashed and flickered repeatedly, only partially loading until it timed out.

This, was confusing, however a visit to the login page using IE7 revealed the problem as existing in line 90 of plugins/stattraq.php.

Line 90 reads :

else if($strpos($ua, ‘MSIE 2′) !== false)

and should be replaced with:

else if(strpos($ua, ‘MSIE 2′) !== false)

This should solve the problem.

Trying to contact me?

I know lots of people have been trying to contact me since Friday the 24th, but unfortunately I’ve had to travel to deal with personal family business.

I’ll be back in contact with everybody on Tuesday the 28th of February.

Must I reboot? Really! Why?

WhyReboot is a tiny (~60KB) Windows application that displays a list of pending file operations that will occur after rebooting your computer.

This application will help you decide if a reboot is necessary and if you should do it straight away, or if you should just let it be until the next time you reboot.
