Coping with public and private transport since 2001

The folks over at WordPress keep on working to create a better experience for us all. This time it is a security upgrade for the 2.0-branch, which brings the software up to quite a nice number: 2.2.2 Several updates have been fixed, including several severe flaws, including a XSS-hack. All solved bugs can be found here. I usually don’t post
Continue readingYesterday my hoster decided to migrate from version A of his software to version B, which wouldn’t be such a problem when everything went well. However, you’ve probably guessed by reading the title of this post that it didn’t went well. Backups were made, and the migration was done, backups were restored and everything failed to work. Bugger. It turned

The day started well and truly wet as we drove from our homes to Haarlem to catch a train to Zandvoort. It was soaking wet during the entire trip to Haarlem, and our windshield wipers had their work cut

My first line of defense in the ever-lasting battle against spam is Akismet, the WordPress built-in anti-spam plugin (when I’m to say plugin, when it is already built in…), and today a milestone has been reached! *start drumroll* 100 spam-posts have been stopped,

As my very last exam is approaching quite fast, I’m really busy studying to get it all done. So, that’ll be it for now. After the exam all’s yet unclear, I will
Continue readingRight, you’ve probably all been anxiously waiting for any sign of life from me, and here it is. Yes, I’m still here! Not only that, there have been some interesting new developments concerning my master-thesis (of which I will speak in a later stadium) and I’ve spent almost my entire holiday-bonus on some exciting new hardware. Within a short period

In the case of Google-ads it is, I think; so I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and installed my very own contextual ad.

I’ve recently upgraded my software to a newer version and have taken the opportunity to check out solutions to issues I’ve been encountering during the use of this blogsoftware. Luckily for me, I’ve managed to at least solve one of my issues, which is

Our main concern is converting the different ‘parts’ of a balance, assets and liabilities, into a generic resource or

Today, I was having at least one of the last category: I wanted to add an image to a post. In WordPress (this blogsoftware) it can be done, but is far from easy. No thumbnails could be
