WordPress upgrade

WordPress 2.5 was released yesterday, so I decided to upgrade (it has a newer version number) everything appeared to go smoothly until I tried to login to the admin page 🙁

<strong>Fatal error:</strong> Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /.../.../.../wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 31

Anyway a quick google later and it appeared the best solution might be to upgrade K2 to the latest nightly build also 😀

So far everything seems to be working again and i’m liking the updates to WordPress

Universal remote control’s

Well I just got a Harmony 525 remote control, the idea being I can replace 3 different remote’s with just 1 🙂

Logitech have a wonderful awful web interface for setting these things up, but that’s not really my thing so I had a hunt around the web for something else and finally found a project called Concordance, which is aiming to develop software capable of programming the Harmony remotes from Linux, but there code also builds and runs in Windows 🙂

Heroes get up at 5am

With an early start, I made it up to Birmingham for yesterdays launch event. I had a great time and picked up some freebies, best of all I now have a new mug for the office.

I’d been looking for a new mug ever since I broke my beloved ASCII table mug. If anyone at Hitex wants to send me a new one, please get in touch 🙂

Well Wednesday is the Microsoft 2008 Launch Event here in the UK. So I’m off up to Birmingham for the day. I thought I’d plan ahead and print off the agenda, however Microsoft’s browser had other ideas, after selecting print preview I got some rather strange results. Maybe IE8 will pass this acid test 🙂

Hello world two!

Well this post was created for me by the WordPress installer (wasn’t that nice of it!) But I won’t remove it as I will probably mostly talk about development topics here anyway, so ‘Hello world!’ seems like a good first post 🙂

However, I’ve just come accross the Blogger import, so this isn’t my first post 🙁
