Single Wordpress to Wordpress MU Export/Import Workaround

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I ran into an issue with my default php.ini maximum upload size being 2MB and the www.golod.com WP file being larger than 5MB…but that was an easy fix. For those of you trying to upgrade from a few single wordpress installs to one MU Wordpress install, this might be a good workaround for you to [...]

Tabbed SSH Client for Windows (NOT SecureCRT)

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Well, I have had one thing go my way so far today…I just discovered (I am slow) that there is an alternative to SecureCRT when it comes to an SSH client for Windows that has tab capabilites…Putty Connection Manager. I have been using Putty now for a year or two because it is free (I [...]

How to Run Disk Defragmenter as a Scheduled Task

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I was trying to figure out how to run Disk Defragmenter from the command line on a SBS2003 box as I was not sure how to specify what drive I want defrag.exe to run on at a specific time. Turns out that you can just browse to defrag.exe (…/system32) and then tell it what drive [...]

For those of you trying to install Ubuntu on an IBM Thinkpad x22 or X2x series laptop, you will need to hit F6 and then enter vga=771 and then press enter when the installer menu comes up.

Wordpress Upgrade

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Just made the upgrade to Wordpress 2.6.2 (I think). As sad as it may seem, my motivation for the upgrade was so that I could use the iPhone app to post. It has been so long since my last upgrade…I was still running the 1.5 branch which I guess is pretty old [...]

iPhone Exchange Integration – Review

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Some of you may have read my post on troubleshooting iPhone and Exchange 2003 I wrote up a couple of weeks ago. In case you still don’t know, the iPhone will only work with Exchange 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2007. 2003 NEEDS SP2 to be installed and there is a not so intuitive [...]

Ok, so people usually ask me some kind of computer / internet related questions every day. So, I figured I would start to point out a few important items along the way when I come across them. Today I want to talk about music on your website. In my opinion, it is never [...]

iPhone and Exchange 2003 Configuration Troubleshooting How-To

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Ok, I have to admit, I don’t like reading manuals. But, in the case of the new iPhone 2.0 software and Microsoft Exchange 2003, I did in fact read the Apple Exchange 2003 deployment guide. It is about zero help for someone who has configued Exchange 2003 to work with Windows Mobile devices in [...]

Dedicated and Managed Server Hosting

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Some of you may have read my posts about Server Beach’s dedicated hosting (managed and un-managed servers). I was fortunate enough to be invited to their first customer appreciation dinner in San Francisco last night at Town Hall. It is always great to be able to put a face to a name, or in [...]
