So SVN has you down because you always have to remove /tmp/, /log/, /db/ and reconfiguring your database.yml file? These are especially tedious in group settings. But never fear here is a great rake task to setup your projects svn properties so you won’t have to worry about it any more.
Once again it was time to change my theme and shake things up. This time I went for something a little more simple that I can build upon. This theme is called “Pride” by Wpdesigner. I have already begun altering it and will continue to do so until I get that warm fuzzy feeling that let’s me know it’s perfect. Speaking of which, I really like this theme it’s clean and effective. I didn’t like the 3 column theme so I removed the middle column and expanded the left one. The colors are smooth and the curvy sidebar is a nice touch.
While I’m at it I’ll probably be changing a lot of other things around. I want to find a way to make this blog more useful, not only to me but also to other participants. If you have any ideas let me know in a comment.
Peace!
When trying to use automatic installation and updating of plugins you get a blank screen and your logs show an error such as this:
1 | PHP Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /somedirectory/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 688, referer: http://somedomain.com/wp-admin/plugins.php |
, then most likely your or your host moved your site without updating wordpress.
Never fear as there is an easy fix. Open up your database GUI, such as PHPMyadmin and goto the wp_options table. Then find the row that has “ftp_credentials” as the option_name, click to edit the value.

There are some big changes coming soon to this site. It’ll still be my blog site but I am going to restructure. Stay tuned!

Yesterday I saw a post on slashdot (slashdot link) about how Amazon was able to extend their “1-click” patent to include contacting customers after an order either by phone or email. Here is the diagram that was submitted: link to diagram. Be careful on your e-commerce sites, try not to email your customers or call them.
This is not the first time we have seen the USPTO so disconnected with reality, especially in regards to the internet space. Shall we list some other examples?
So I transformed my site from a money maker to a personal blog, yea go figure! After searching through hundreds and hundreds of themes I finally found one I liked, Hemingway. So I installed and began messing around with it, now I am a valid semantic freak so when I noticed there were errors and warnings on the page I hit the code and started fixing them. BTW, if you use this theme a major error is found in the designby() function, it seems that the author tried to mask the website link, so you couldn’t search by it easily, using concatenation the problem of course is that he has an extra period (.) in his code which does not validate. The best idea is to remove the concatenation.
