DemoCampToronto11 - open to any?

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

I agree with Rohan: last night’s democamp failed to live up to expectations.The demos

The best demo was indeed Sunir’s demonstration of the Design Bibliography wiki, which had some pretty funky gadgets to support the application-specific workflow. Yet as I’ve said to Sunir before, there are plenty of wikis out there (40 new *wiki*.(com|org|net) sites are […]

British Computer Society: Upper Canada Division

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Last night my wife and I briefly visited the British Computer Society: Upper Canada Division : sadly I missed the talk on virtualisation by Frank Boesche (of PwC)  because of prior meal commitment, but I met a good group of people: in addition to Frank, Lu Lahodynskyi (of http://www.resultsoriented.ca/), Stuart Anderson (of Ontario Pension Board) […]

Canadian Tech Mob Wordpress Widget

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

ISO Recorder for Creating an Image File from a CD

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

ISO Recorder is a program that creates “.ISO” files that pretend to be CDs drives.

SK2 on WPMU - Reset all tables on all blogs

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Question to DrDave, inventor of http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/
DrDave: I recently moved my wpmu installation between hosts. In doing so I inadvertantly went from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4.

Wordpress - default links

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

Wordpress mu has some stupid defaults that means admins have to hack some core files.
I just submitted http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/109#comment:6
That gives the admin the ability to override the default links that appear in the blogroll.
Hopefully it will make the next release.

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

I added this to the bottom of wp-cron.php (1.1a) so I can see that it is loaded and when it last ran. Needs de-geeking for general consumption.
