The scoop on ‘Gulker labs’
A retrospective of all the old, whacky projects. Without doubt, these won’t be the last..
Scary MySQL error
First error from WordPress:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /…/wp-includes/wp-db.php:102) in /…/wp-admin/post.php on line 122
The post showed up OK, but subsequent efforts to edit it resulted in it going to the Drafts folder. Hope this isn’t a harbinger of bad things to come..
Too many computers
Computers have a funny way of proliferating around here. A couple of times, I’ve gone on pruning missions through the gulker.com CPUs, only to have the processor count slowly creep back upward. A couple years ago, we gave away some beige PowerMacs and moved the remainder, including our first web server (a might 66-MHz Apple […]
WordPress ‘Hidden’ pages hack
My first php ‘hack’: here’s Neil Stephenson’s classic In the Kingdom of Mao Bell, from (the old) Wired. Linked from this post, but not in the Pages sidebar. Note the amusing URL… from now on, there will be lots of hidden pages…
Boing Boing and the Wall Street Journal
I read both, almost every day, and it’s hard to imagine two more disparate media types. Yet, today, the two reference each other. WSJ lists Boing Boing in a blog et al. ‘who’s who‘, and Boing Boing links back. Wondering where Bart Nagel took this pic of the Boing Boing bloggers… new media moguls […]
WordPress update
Think we’ve mastered the post tools, including the neat photo linking options, after a week of being ‘live.’ Trying to figure out if we can use the page feature to create pages that don’t show up in the sidebar (hmmm, may be a php hack for that). We have the backup plugin working, apparently successfully, […]
Pix from this morning’s walk in Portola Valley
The local oak woodland, seen above in Portola Valley, has taken on its high summer look, helped a bit by an interesting sky. Photo taken witha Leica Digilux II set to B&W mode.
Los Trancos road and surrounding hills, Portola Valley. Leica Digilux II set to B&W mode. Been awhile since we posted any pix…
Portable Home Directories
Colleague Joel Ingulsrud is quoted at length in eWeek on the topic of portable home directories on Mac OS X. Basically, all of a users’ files and apps are on a server, and the user can log in from any machine and their email, book marks and files are just there. You can even do […]
My faxes go ‘Paperless’
Just realized that all the faxes, sitting on the 6-year-old G4 Cube that serves as fax machine, DNS and (formerly) Radio server are PDFs that can be dropped into the Paperless Project queue. So, voila, done. Again, kip was good at identifying a tag that I created for one PDF in the OCR text of […]
kip bug?
Screenshot shows a paper document scanned to PDF, as it appears in Adobe Acrobat 7 (right) and after input into kip (left). 3 documents (out of about 100) have also showed up as black rectangles in kip. Where’s the bug report page…?
