So far this has been an awesome phone to use. I’m even really liking the use of Sprint over ATT!

Second, this guide is geared for those who want to do more than they currently are doing, to become someone more than they are, and help others in the process.  If that is you, then get reading (less than 30 pages).

It is a great read, and definitely gets you thinking. So go out there, and get your hands on the guide today.

If you haven’t tried out Boxee for your media pc software, then I recommend you get going and try it out. Boxee is fantastic with very easy to use software.  I installed this great piece of work onto my main pc and my home theater pc and it just rocks.  It is able to grab your tv shows and movie files on your computer (or another computer on your network) and actually find out what show it ties to, what episode it is, what season it is for, and also if available online, an image about the show, and a description with a possible rating.  It does this for TV shows and also pulls the box art for movies as well.

Don’t have any shows on your computer…that is just fine, it’ll also list shows online and tell you which link it recommends (whether Hulu, ABC, NBC, etc.).  If you have an episode on your machine however, it’ll recommend that first, then show other locations for the episode available online.  It is also great to watch YouTube videos and others.

I really recommend this software for Windows, Unix, Macs, etc.

It’s quite a funny term to use – however it really is a screen of death.  Thankfully I was able to save myself.  Here is what I did.

Went to Google and told it what I was seeing.  Thankfully I’m not the only one who has seen this screen.  A number of bloggers who use WordPress (and Drupal) have seen this occur.  However for whatever reason, nobody has added default error logging when this occurs.  All you get is a blank white screen.  Check the page source and guess what – blank.

Well I dug into the sites looking for clues as to what had happened.  with no success.  So I decided to go on my own to try and fix things.

1. Using FileZilla, a free FTP tool, I renamed my Plugins and Themes directories under wp-content.  I backed up my wp-config.php file which resides in the root directory of the blog.
2. Downloaded the latest WordPress, in this case it was 2.9.1.
3. Extracted the zip file to my desktop.
4. Connected FileZilla to my blog location.
5. Pointed the left screen (my computer) to my wordpress install directory and pointed the right screen (ftp location) to my root directory.
6. Pressed upload, told it to overwrite, and let it do what it does best.
7. After this, my site still showed a white screen.  However I was able to get into blog/wp-admin and log in finally.
8. I changed the theme to the “WordPress Classic” theme and voila…it worked!

Now I wish I could tell you what had actually happened, but I can’t.  I’ll remember something though through this all…ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR STUFF!!!

Some points to make – when I renamed my wp-content directories from Plugins and Themes and tried to access the page, this should have “disabled” the themes and plugins.  However I’m not sure it did.  Something was causing this to fail before even accessing these directories.

From what I could tell, some plugin probably changed a necessary file.  I should have verified it worked with 2.9.1 before enabling it.  Oh well – live and learn.

Hopefully you don’t get into the same boat I did…and if you did…best of luck…it sucks!

As someone who recently graduated from college (June 2008) and became employed shortly after (August 2008, by choice), the fact that I have Google and other search engines available to me make my life so much easier when developing software.

There are so many different solutions out there on the web that are at the tip of my finger and when I get stuck not understanding a subject or unable to figure out a solution; I’m so very thankful that all I need is to do a search.

This is my thanks and shout out to free search engines!

I don’t mind answering questions, so please contact me if you would like any help.

If you would like more than just a few questions answered, then please let me know and I’ll let you know how my prices vary.  From Basics to Complete Awesomeness!

This processor and the following:

The game is amazing though and this will just make me get my new computer sooner or just go buy a 360…we’ll see which comes first.

Overall I had a great time and got to catch a small glimpse of the air show that was going on around the city.  Love those things! 

 Enjoy yourself!
