WordPress pclziputilpathreduction Fix

Getting an error like this one?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction()
Chances are you’ve got the Automatic WP Upgrade plugin enabled. Although this really was a wonderful plugin and it was highly useful to many of us it is no longer needed. WP has an update capability built in now.
Also, it causes the above error to show [...]

I need some crack…

It’s been awhile since I’ve done some SERIOUS programming. Most of what I’m working on (like the laconica web based installer, the modified zenPhoto installation, various modifications to e-commerce sites) is actually the type of thing I would work on and create when I was younger. I guess most things don’t change. Anyhow, I’m starting [...]

Laconica Easy-ish Install Scripts Finished

Yet another update! Check out:
Another Laconica Easy Install Script Update
It’s beta, it’s ugly, it works!
I’ve written up two scripts in order to get Laconica installed quickly and easily on any DreamHost account. It’s really ugly, mostly because of all the config details you have to fill out. Still, it’s a whole lot faster then doing [...]

Need A Drink?

Today was a horrible day at work and just kinda makes me want to sit at a bar for the next few hours and let myself forget about the horrors of not being able to get anything done, but if you’re like me and don’t like paying absolutely outrageous prices for a drink, mix your [...]

Song from F.E.A.R. Commercial – Tears for Fears!

The song used in the F.E.A.R. commercial!
“All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow…”
–Tears for Fears, “Mad World”

Long Time No Post

It’s been months since my last post, and that wasn’t much of a post. So you all have my apologies. My stats show that some people are actually getting some use out of the code that I posted here so hurrah for that!
Other than that, I’m bored. It’s 2:19 in the morning and I can’t [...]
