The standard themes that come with wordpress are OK !! but if you want something really good / different you have to go elsewhere. I found quite a lot of themes on WordPress Themes and particularly liked the Modern Sofa 10 theme. This is particularly relevant these days as I am always falling asleep on the sofa and wake up… Continue reading Changed My Blogs Theme
Using the carrington theme and after switching to permalinks I noticed that the wordpress search doesnt seem to work. Not sure if this is by design or what. After a little bit of scrabbling around I decided to hack the scripts so I changed the search.php script which sits in themes/carrington-blog/forms. I commented out the permalinks section of the if… Continue reading WordPress Search & Permalinks

Recently upgraded to vista and for the life of me couldnt get the vista to work with rsyncd running from cygwin. Would always stop with a code 12 error and not alot else. I just run rsyncd or rsync with the daemon option as I dont belive the cwrsync works as a service yet on vista. Now in the backuppc… Continue reading Getting Rsyncd, Vista and Backuppc to work
Ok thought I would have a look at DBDesigner4 as MyWorkbench seems to be taking a long time to get into beta. DBDesigner4 looks a great product but couldnt get it to connect to mysql 5 then realised that it the designer was designed for version 3 mysql and lots of the old mysql products need to read the myql.user… Continue reading DBDesigner4, Windows and MYSQL 5
Since upgrading to Vista have had a few problems syncing my Palm Treo 750v with the mobile center. Read lots of places that upgrading to Mobile Center 6.1 helped well I dont think thats really the problem, the problem seems to be that the (or at least mine) Treo seems to have a mind of its own and gets stuck… Continue reading Vista, Palm Treo 750v and Windows Mobile Center 6.1
