Wordpress upgrade

Wordpress 2.5 was released yesterday, so I decided to upgrade (it has a newer version number) everything appeared to go smoothly until I tried to login to the admin page :(

<strong>Fatal error:</strong> Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /.../.../.../wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 31

Anyway a quick google later and it appeared the best solution might be to upgrade K2 to the latest nightly build also :D

So far everything seems to be working again and i’m liking the updates to Wordpress

Universal remote control’s

My new remoteWell I just got a Harmony 525 remote control, the idea being I can replace 3 different remote’s with just 1 :)

Logitech have a wonderful awful web interface for setting these things up, but that’s not really my thing so I had a hunt around the web for something else and finally found a project called Concordance, which is aiming to develop software capable of programming the Harmony remotes from Linux, but there code also builds and runs in Windows :)

Ali’s stag do

Friday was Alistair’s stag do. We had a great afternoon quad biking in Walton-on-Thames, followed by an evening on fun and humiliation (for Ali anyway!) at Jongleurs. Here’s Ali looking his best :)

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Heroes get up at 5am

With an early start, I made it up to Birmingham for yesterdays launch event. I had a great time and picked up some freebies, best of all I now have a new mug for the office.

My new office mug

I’d been looking for a new mug ever since I broke my beloved ASCII table mug. If anyone at Hitex wants to send me a new one, please get in touch :)

Heroes Happen Here

Well Wednesday is the Microsoft 2008 Launch Event here in the UK. So I’m off up to Birmingham for the day. I thought I’d plan ahead and print off the agenda, however Microsoft’s browser had other ideas, after selecting print preview I got some rather strange results. Maybe IE8 will pass this acid test :)

Print Preview

I’m now an audiophile

Well not really, but today I received my shiny new Denon S-302 system, which took me about 2 hours to setup and I’ve only done a temporary job until the cables I ordered turn up some time next week.

YAB! (a dabba do)

Yet another blog!

Well, actually it’s an old blog with a new blogging engine. Yes, I have finally ditched Blogger in favour of Wordpress. If my old blog was anything to go by I probably won’t post anything on here for another 6 months :)

Hello world two!

Well this post was created for me by the Wordpress installer (wasn’t that nice of it!) But I won’t remove it as I will probably mostly talk about development topics here anyway, so ‘Hello world!’ seems like a good first post :)

However, I’ve just come accross the Blogger import, so this isn’t my first post :(
