Its sad because its our system, we have put in a lot of blood… Continue reading Our Time On BPOSS With BP Has Finally Come To A Close.
My last upgrade of my media center included a blu-ray media player, it was a cheap LG player although wasn’t as cheap as they are today. This was bought a few years back when they first came out but didn’t install it for some time until now. Well I thought Vista was bound to support blu-ray and didnt think anything… Continue reading Vista, Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player And Blu-Ray DVD's
Just got the new Macbook Pro and after transferring from my old Macbook it seemed it couldnt actually set the time correctly was always an hour behind. The problem was actually the timezone as it just said GMT in the closest city. After a little bit of tickering I realised that that the localtime folder should be a symbolic link… Continue reading 13 Inch MacBook Pro – Time Is Wrong
Ok so searched high and low for this and finally found out that it was my theme that I had added which was wrong. Look for feed_rss2.php in wp-includes and look for some code in there, that uses use_excerpt_rss my theme used this whether the rss setting->full (rather than summary) was selected or not in the settings->reading.

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
Well tried several and dont think any of them are that good. For one thing that is a problem is that google only seems to work in internet explorer which I guess is by design. I cant get any of the google adsense stuff to appear on my wordpress blog using firefox to surf the pages – unless my adblocker… Continue reading Adding Google Adsense To WordPress
Well subtext has fallen out of favour and no one is really updating the software side of it any more. WordPress seems to be the latest fashionable blog software out there at the moment. So I exported my subtext blog to blogml then used this very nice blog article to import it into wordpress. I did what the chap says… Continue reading Moved from SubText to WordPress
Just upgraded my media center case to an Antec Fusion Remote. Now its a very well made case and has 120mm fans in them with variable speed control which is why it took my fancy. It has full size slots as well as my older case could only take half height cards which is always a problem finding them. I… Continue reading Antec Fusion Remote HTPC Case – Audio Control Doesnt Work
