There was that video from Common Craft which urged me to getting twitter‘ed’. It could prove efficient to pack all my bunch of net stumbles : just like some sort of SMSing+micro micro blogging - I think just micro blogging would be Tumblr.

Hold your breath, Nintendo fans, here’s a breaking news for you ; the Legend of Zelda movie is soon to be released. Check out its trailer below :

DON’T UPDATE NOW!

Even if you’re constantly reminded to do so from your WP admin panel :

And if you happen to be someone visiting the WP download page everyday, you’ll probably see this :

The latest stable release of WordPress (Version 2.5) is available

but no no, it’s not really stable. As with every major update, it ’should’ show glitches so wait for sub-releases like 2.5.1 or further to update. Give everybody time to update their plugins and for the WP developers to see subsequent holes and bugs that may do nasty things to your blog :p you’ve been warned or I prefer advised : Don’t update to 2.5 now, don’t cripple your blog!

And yeah, that’s not an April Fool Joke. I wish that was really one : WP 2.5 release being an April Fool Joke LOL.

Surely you must know the Transformers, the hit movie and lately the popular Vista Transformation pack. Nirmal from Life Rocks 2.0 published an excellent list of all the popular Transformation pack around for Windows XP, moving your normal PC to a real cutting edge and dazzling new machine(new look and behaviour).

It’s a PC user’s dream : to be on a mac. Actually what motivates this craving desire for the mac, imho, is the look : both the hardware(the mac) and the accompanying OSX look great. It’s stylish, fresh and sleek.

But if you’re on a PC, no need to despair or hack it down to make it look like a mac. I’ll concentrate here with aquafying the OS. First you should know that if you’re on a PC and using either Windows or Linux, stay with it. No need to use things like the tweaked Intel Mac OS/hackintosh, that will put the real OSX on your PC. Even if you happen to get this working, it would take you long to get a fully functional PC with the Intel Mac OS installed; it would take you time to hunt down the drivers for your hardware and then there aren’t much software that would like to be run on such a configuration.

If you have upgraded recently to Wordpress 2.3, you’ll notice the following error message appearing either under your sidebars or at the bottom of your blog :


WordPress database error: [Table 'edrop.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_categories


This is caused for the simple reason that some codes have been deprecated in the new Wordpress 2.3 which causes the above error. It’s really easy to fix this problem, just proceed as follows:

• Using your favourite FTP program(FileZilla is a good one), navigate to wp-content/themes/myjournal hypereal theme folder and open the footer.php using your favourite text editor.
• At the top part, find the following code and delete it:
  $numcats = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->categories");
if (0 < $numcats) $numcats = number_format($numcats);

  Then somewhere at the bottom of the same file, footer.php, find this part :

  extending over <?php echo $numcats; ?> categories and delete it altogether.

That should do it. Hope this helps fixing things quickly.
