Revamped Photos.JackyYong.com

This site is in dire need of an upgrade for a long time. If you have been to that site, you would have noticed the skewed arrangement of the blog. Very unprofessional!

Notice the blank spaces when the page is loaded

Notice the blank empty spaces?

You'll have to scroll all the way down to see the first entries

You'll have to scroll all the way down to see the entries

I have also received complaint that some of my friends were not able to comment on the posts in this particular website. I suspect the theme is the culprit here.

Now that I have bid adieu to the old theme, and say hello to the new Photos@Jacky Yong, courtesy of GeckoAndFly. I have modified his Studio Press Black theme to suit mine. Very nice theme, IMHO. Tell me what you think of the new theme! ;)

Wordpress 2.6

Finally, after much delay, upgraded myself into Wordpress 2.6. Nothing much happened, the only biggest issue was that Alex King’s Popularity Contest is still not working. Activating it causes a “Fatal Error” to be displayed. But that is not news since Wordpress 2.5. According to websites, Alex King is too busy to clean up his own mess.

There is an easy workable solution to this. Just go edit the popularity-contest.php file located in your plugins folder and go to line 59. Just change from this to this:

require('../../wp-blog-header.php');

to this:

require('../wp-blog-header.php');

And everything just falls into place. But that didn’t come with some silly human mistakes as well, mistakes that led me to debug php codes until the wee hours of the morning! My wife is calling me back to sleep already, and Yan Yan is crying for milk. I better sign off now.

3rd time charmed!

That’s how I would describe Firefox 3, the latest incarnation of the highly successful browser these days. I have fulfilled my pledge to download Firefox 3 and be part of the Guinness World Record attempt for the highest number of downloads in 24 hours. I downloaded and installed it successfully at 3:25 am, +8 GMT. Check out the cooler looking screen!

Firefox3 is coming!

Oh goody! Firefox is finally coming, I’m so excited about it! Why shouldn’t I be? Firefox3 is a better browser than its predecessors and certainly much better than Internet Explorer 7. I know, I’ve been using it in my latest Ubuntu installation since April. The thing that immediately caught my attention was the speed at which it starts up. Even with my usual add-ons, it’s ready for surfing in less than 3 seconds. Well, at least on my Ubuntu that is.

Great! I have just been bugged!

The bane of using Micro$oft, you get all kinds of worms and trojans. Even if you are an IT geek, you’re not invulnerable from these little pest. I had just opens the page, and it auto downloads. Before I have any say in whether or not to scan it, Trend Micro has “intelligently” verified that it is a trojan. Before I know it, BAM! Bugs crawling all over my laptop screen, literally!

Oh by the way, do not press “YES” at the screen above. Press it and you will open more trojans into your machine!

No XMMS for me!

I give up. I can’t seem to find back XMMS in Hardy. But this is Linux world, everything is available, you just have to look harder. I bumped into Audacious, and it looks like a good XMMS replacement. Contrary to what everybody thinks, XMMS2 is NOT a replacement for XMMS. It’s actually a command line MP3 player, with no GUI! (Yeah, Linux is that eccentric, you do not need to click a mouse to play music, you type commands!)

So yeah, Audacious it is. The interface looks clean and smooth, it auto updates itself (because it’s in the repositories) and most importantly, it plays my music with clicks instead of types!

What should I do with a .sh file?

Sometimes somewhere, you encounter some really stupid sites that are trying to be helpful, but they expected you to know how or what to do with the file. Happens quite often in the world of Linux. I was trying to get myself the XMMS from the apt-get, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it. The error came out something like this:

E: Package xmms has no installation candidate

Page Blank after upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1

Sometimes it’s not that good to have too much updates so often. Every now and then I will have to be bugged by the message “Your Wordpress is out of date. Please update to version xxx”. To be honest, I feel harassed. It seem that it wasn’t that long ago that I upgraded to version 2.5, now they have 2.5.1! Aiyo, one of these days I’m gonna have to install one of those auto-upgrade features. more…

What’s the latest in the OS war?

Ubuntu’s latest incarnation just came out. Just like clock-work, it never fails to meet its release target date. The latest to come out of Canonical is version 8.04, exactly on 24th April 2008 just as planned. The main feature this time around is the LTS badge. LTS means Long Term Support, which means that the desktop version will be supported for 3 years, while the server version up to 5 years. more…
