WordPress upgrade

Published by Nic on March 30, 2008 in Development and Personal. 0 Comments Tags: .

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 :)

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 :)

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.
