Simple Feed List – WordPress Plugin updated!
Version 1.2 of the Simple Feed List plugin has been launched! This update includes two essential changes.. Some people were finding that their web site’s security was preventing this plugin from working due to restrictions on the use of the file_get_contents PHP command. This has now been replaced with an alternative method, which has also [...]
Windows Hibernate Button
If you’re using the Hibernate function (and I’m talking XP here, not sure if this applies to Vista as well) one of the things desperately missing is a matching button in the “Turn Off Computer” menu. You click on it and get options for everything else, but not to hibernate. Well, not very well known, [...]

Further WordPress upgrade issues
Since upgrading to 2.8 I’ve come across another issue. However, I’ve seen numerous people reporting the same problem after upgrades to previous WordPress versions, so I don’t think this is 2.8 specific.

Terminator Salvation
I got the chance to see this film yesterday and, after reading many positive reviews, I was expecting good things. In the end, however, I felt it was just, erm, average. The storyline is set after Judgement Day when Skynet is already in control and the older John Connor (played by Christian Bale) is plotting [...]
WordPress 2.8

Two problems then existed… The TinyMCE editor (for editing posts) didn’t work My Last.FM plugin was showing an error The second one, well, I’m still working on that. The first, however, [...]
