Upgrade to WordPress and ... blank page? fault MyGallery plugin!

February 27, 2010 No Comments

It happened with the update (upgrade) to version 2.9.1 and now with 2.9.2. Completes one has found the site totally broken, even the administrative part.

The problem is due then?

Primarily by the laziness of not carrying out the aggiornamneto following the directions given by WordPress.org invites you to disable all themes and plugins configured on your site.

Specifically, however, this problem is the activation of the plugin MyGallery not find two files generates this terrible problem. The offending files are:


In fact reading the code of the plugin can be observed:


Wordpress Upgrade


So do not need is included in the folder wp-includes the site in question and the two files streams.php gettext.php and everything will magically work!

How to launch iTunes at startup with a random song?

January 20, 2010 No Comments

I write this article in response to a question on a forum read, hoping it will help someone in addition to the direct question (Stephen, alias "Pisubijoux).

There are several ways to do this, I suggest using a small script (to be created with AppleScript Editor) to launch the start of the login user.

We get to practice ...

1) Open the AppleScript editor and enter the following code (commented to help you understand ... ah, the comments fit with "--" ):


-- Open iTunes
tell application "iTunes"

- Show window of iTunes running (remove "-")
- Activate

- Set shuffle mode to the playlist "Music" (Change it if you want)
September shuffle of user playlist "Music" to true
- Remove shuffle mode to the playlist "Music" (Change it if you want)
- Set shuffle of user playlist "Music" to false

- Play Music!
play

end tell


2) Click on Compile and then save everything as applicable.

3) Open System Preferences -> Accounts -> startup items -> enter the application you just saved!


For the more lazy you can download the file directly from here:

... Only then proceed to step 3!

iPhone "jailbreak or not to jailbreak?"

January 19, 2010 2 comments

Here's the question that torments many people struggling with the infamous iPhone to unlock (jailbreak) or not?
What actually are the advantages and disadvantages of this choice?

I do not want to dwell here in explaining what the operation consists of jailbreak, but I intend to list only briefly, from my point of view, the advantages and disadvantages of that choice.

Benefits

  • Add Cydia (an alternative store all'AppStore)
  • SSH access to the device (use the iPhone as a hard disk inside which just upload files via ssh)
  • SBSettings (via Cydia) rapid setting menu for frequently used functions (on / off services such as WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc. ...)
  • Ability to synchronize applications (IPA) downloaded from the internet through iTunes (this is legal, then everyone is choosing to operate more or less legally using your device)
  • Delete the block of data transfer via bluetooth for the upcoming release of iBlueNove (ex iBluetooth) of MeDevil
  • Insert a firewall (blacklist) for the management of calls / sms / mms incoming
  • Add useful features to native applications such as SMS Helper (show included a character counter when writing an SMS)
  • Change the 'appointing authority of your phone provider for not encountering any unwanted charges on their rechargeable


Disadvantages

  • For 3Gs with new iBoot, inability to restart the iPhone without having to re-jailbreak using Blackra1n
  • Reduction in battery performance (not high if you use it wisely additional services such as SSH, etc ...)
  • I can not think of much more ...


You add something to the list?

December 16, 2009 3 comments

Group banks Banco Popolare, Banca Popolare di Novara least, need to use the service byWeb or home banking, installing a certificate (format. P12).

No problem for users running Windows with Internet Explorer or Firefox or for Mac and Linux users who wish to use Firefox (which will install the certificate directly into the browser) ... a few extra problems for Mac users who wish to use Safari.

No alarm, with the correct configuration in minutes will be around the problem following the steps listed here:

  • Download the certificate from your desktop https: / / certificato.bancopopolare.it / a folder to your liking
  • Fully close Safari (Command + Q)
  • Open the file with the application system Keychain (just do a double mouse click on the downloaded file and it will open automatically)
  • Enter the password to authenticate the certificate (the same that is used to discharge the same)
  • Select the certificate in Keychain and click the top item archive (file image here) and then click the Preferences submenu new identity ... (New Identity Preference in English here)
  • Put the link https: / / web.bancopopolare.it: 443 (important to spell as reported here) and click Add
  • Open Safari and go at https: / / web.bancopopolare.it: 443


I leave you to understand even better images (and visually) the procedure described above ...


Happy surfing everyone!

Ps if you still have problems try to add https: / / web.bancopopolare.it: 443 / (including /) the final!

Pps: If you can not even rely on ... ons that manages its own certificates.
In this case, just open the Firefox preferences and go to Advanced, and then select Show in section Encryption certificates and then import the certificate you downloaded.

VMWare Fusion 3.0 and the "file association" not very intuitive ...

October 29, 2009 No Comments

VMware has finally released the long awaited new version of Fusion , came to 3.0, bringing many new features that finally make it one of the best virtualization software within Mac

One of the biggest gaps that I always complained in Fusion was the lack in the ability to open files with a Windows application directly from virtualized Finderl (Ex: open an XLS file from the Finder and make sure that you opened with Microsoft Excel 2007 virtualized ). This is actually a file association, or group of extensions with a program of your choice.

Despite the efforts of VMWare, still can not do this by default with Fusion, but with a little ingenuity you can get around this problem.

  1. Navigate with the Finder on the folder where your virtual machine (Windows for instance);
  2. Right click on the VM (Virtual Machine) and select "Show package contents" (Show Package Contents);
  3. At this point you open a new window is inside the folder "Applications" where are the applications installed on Windows;
  4. Open another Finder and navigate to the / Applications folder of Mac and create a new folder called (for example) "Windows Applications";
  5. Copy it into applications (the Applications folder in the VM that you want indexed by Spotlight as native applications on Mac;
  6. Select a file extension that will bind to a Windows right-click and choose "Get Info"
  7. Select "Open With" and then "Other" (Open With - Other)
  8. Now choose the application you want to associate the file extension. It can be found easily in the Windows Applications folder that was previously created in step 4!
  9. Give OK, and click "Change All" ("Change All" smileys . From now on Fusion and its application will open when you open a file with that extension.



Now some screenshots to better follow the directions:



Have fun and good virtualization at all!
