I've been using an older version of Yourls for a few years. I tried to upgrade to v1.5 a few times but always hit a problem with adding new URLs to the database: it acts like it's adding the URLs but really doesn't Sometimes the 'thinking' icon spins forever, other times it says it completed […]
How to live without the Windows 8 Start menu
I hated Windows 8 when I first installed it. Navigating was difficult since I'm using on a desktop computer and live on the desktop. The Metro screen might be OK for touch screen tablets, but it's not workable for my desktop. Yes, I know, you can quickly get to the start screen by holding down […]
Repair Remote Desktop (RDP) File Association
Out of the blue, not one, but two, computers lost the RDP file association and clicking on the saved RDP files, opened the Open with… dialog, not the remote computer. I have no idea what caused the problems, but it was likely either a Windows update (whatever was installed on 2/7/2012) or a top secret […]
Redirected Pages Keep Reloading in IE7 (Solved!)
For the last two weeks I've been trying to figure out why pages on Slipstick.com (and to a lesser extent, on Outlook-tips.net) kept reloading. I first realized there was a problem when the 48 hour stats tracker (from Jetpack) showed a large jump in a period. Checking the page view lists usually showed a page […]
Why my (almost brand new) iPad will probably never see iOS5...
Update: I broke down and installed iTunes on my laptop. Install went smoothly, both for iTunes and iOS5. To a new-ish iPad owner, whole backup and restore process was confusing though. Was restore going to restore iOS4 or just the apps? It seems to have included everything except the photos that synced from the desktop, […]
Places Bar in Windows 7 & 8
Although Windows 7 (and Vista) make it easier to find folders, thanks to the Favorites and Libraries, some applications use the older Open/Save common dialog. And yes, it still supports Places Bar. You can add up to 5 places to it, replacing the five that are on it by default. You can add your own […]
Going Nuts... WordPress and VBA Code Samples
There is no nice way to say it: WordPress sucks for VBA code samples. The way it handles HTML coding isn't so hot either. WordPress was designed so people don't need to know anything about HTML. I've worked with HTML for 15 years. I understand HTML and I want near-total control over the HTML on […]
Part 3: Custom Excerpts
While I was working on the index, I decided I wanted to include a short excerpt instead of just making a list of hyperlinks. We're using a custom excerpt that was too long and while the RSS excerpt worked ok, I wanted shorter and control over the "more" indicator. I could have solved this problem […]
Create a list of pages in a parent category
In Create a list of pages in a specific category, I showed how I created index pages for my WordPress site. It works great except with two categories. These two categories are parent categories and the code includes the child categories too. Because the number of pages in each category is high, this is not […]
