			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beginning of September 2008 Google announced its new web browser called &#8220;<a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">Google Chrome</a>&#8220;. Given that official sources say that it is still under development and for most part is still considered critical.</p>
<p>The Ministery for Secure Information Technology&#8221; (BSI) in Germany has issued a warning, to avoid this security risk by not installing this Chrome for now, that was published in the media this weekend.</p>
<p>Here is the <a href="http://www.bsi.bund.de/presse/kurzmeldung/090908chrome.htm">official statement</a>: </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I write this, I&#8217;ve moments earlier upgraded my CCleaner install to the latest stable release version. I&#8217;m proud to say that this is the only file management application I&#8217;ve been using since I last reformatted my personal computer and It has never let me down since and saved me from a number of occasions. (cleaning up the cache of your Firefox is amazing!) To say I am in gratitude to those who develop and maintain CCleaner is an understatement. Which is why I kind of felt bad when then I saw a Paypal Button for a chance to show them support. I know i&#8217;m not yet ready to pass on my lowly Adsense income.</p>
<p>So I thought, I can show them love by:<br />
<span id="more-87"></span><br />
1. Clicking on their ads! (only those for which you are interested in)<br />
2. This post. You can download CCleaner here. <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/"><img src="http://static.piriform.com/cc/link3.gif" border="0" alt="CCleaner - Freeware Windows Optimization" /></a><br />
Alright, one good deed to end the day.<br />
Goodnight guys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Importing and exporting mySQL dumps for most of the time is quick and easy even for both phpMYadmin and SSH. Unexpected errors do occur, considerably, if you are transferring your data between WebHosts and their different mySQL versions.</p>
<p>One of these is the Error #1064 which occurs due to a mismatch between the mySQL versions and it&#8217;s corresponding reserved words, which if used causes the error occur.</p>
<p>The simplest and most effective solution for it is.<br />
<span id="more-49"></span> -when using phpMyadmin, select the &#8220;compatibility mode&#8221; &amp; select the target db version from the drop down box.<br />
-when using MySql administrator,while backing up  choose  &#8220;compatibility mode&#8221; in advanced tab, and while restoring through mysql administrator ,click  &#8220;auto-detect file charater set&#8221; if backup was not made using mySql administrator. The default file characer set used by mysql admministrator is utf8.</p>
<p>If you have questions, please feel free to ask - I would love to help you out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft FrontPage has been outdated for a while now and replaced by <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Overview.aspx?key=web">Microsoft Expression Web 2</a>. A number of good folks still use it though and have their websites even running on FPE! (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FrontPage_Server_Extensions">FrontPage Extensions</a>) </p>
<p>What makes things worse is that Microsoft have stopped development and support for FP leaving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service">WebHosts</a> no recourse but to drop FPE from their servers and leaving end-users with a broken  website.</p>
<p>An option for them then is to:</p>
<li>Publish via FTP using Frontpage</li>
<li>Switch to an MS Package where Microsoft Frontpage Extensions (MSFPE) is still available.</li>
<p>If they opt to publish via ftp, this is possible as Microsoft FrontPage supports two methods of publishing files to the web server:  HTTP POST and FTP though  HTTP POST is the default publishing feature in Microsoft FrontPage (using the PUBLISH button), and the preferred method for uploading the  Microsoft FrontPage created web site.</p>
<p>To use Microsoft FrontPage to upload a web via FTP, perform the following steps:</p>
<p>   1. Open your web in Microsoft FrontPage Explorer<br />
   2. Click FILE -> PUBLISH WEB<br />
   3. Type in the destination FTP Server name in the location box in the form of:<br />
      ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com<br />
   4. Choose whether you wish to publish all pages, or only changed pages since your last publishing session<br />
   5. Click the PUBLISH button<br />
   6. Enter your FTP username and password when prompted </p>
<p>Hope this helps and let me know just about anything. </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve addded Lightbox 2 for my plugin arsenal as part of this website semantic facade. Uncommon for most plugin installs, I got an error for this installation <img src='http://www.noone-special.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Error:<br />
<code>Warning: opendir(/webpages/xx/bxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/xxxxx/domain.com/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-2/Themes) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in webpages/xx/bxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/xxxxx/domain.com/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-2/options.php on line 28</code></p>
<p>This &#8220;<em>No such file or directory</em>&#8221; gave it away as a quick check on the directory structure confirmed that its actually there. So it can only be of 2 things, the permissions on the folder or its filename.</p>
<p>I renamed the folder to &#8216;themes&#8217; and it worked like a charm. I&#8217;ve never thought of linux to be picky on filenames but I have noticed that most have them in lowercase. I can&#8217;t explain why it happened, could be on the code of Lightbox or could be something else. But hey it works and I just love Lightbox 2.</p>
<p>Btw, if anyone can help me with my questions above, please feel free to educate me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="a PHP-Based PhotoGallery Manager application, that helps you to store, categorize and trim your photos on the web with various helpful features!" href="http://p.horm.org/er/">Phormer</a> by itself is an excellent photo gallery software (consider the fact that it was last updated Jan 07). while it may have its fair share of shortcomings, most of those are overshadowed by the extensive capabilities it offers and the semantic approach to design by the author.</p>
<p>Earlier tonight as I was updating my <a title="Another special, of the last noone-special, sloth, The noone-special.com Gallery" href="http://photos.noone-special.com/" target="_blank">photo gallery</a> and <a href="http://www.adfchiteens99.org/">adfchiteens</a> I noticed that it lacks the Description meta tag (among others) for search engine optimization. Keen on wanting to have this option for a fully functional website, I made some codehacking on the scripts with good results. Below is a quick howto:</p>
<p>1. Create a backup of your existing funcs.php<br />
2. Edit funcs.php and on line 1107, add the following code&#8221; <em>&lt;META NAME=&#8221;Description&#8221; CONTENT=&#8221;Your descriptive sentence or two goes here.&#8221;&gt;</em><br />
3. Save your changes and your done.<br />
4. Verify your changes:<br />
on Firefox: Tools &gt;&gt; Page Info  &gt;&gt; Description<br />
on IE6      : View &gt;&gt; Source</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to reinstall <a href="http://www.squirrelmail.org/about/">SquirrelMail</a> hoping to be able to archive my current emails since those wont be carried over. when I switch mail service to Gmail.  For the uninitiated, Squirrelmail is a webmail package written in pure Php, has few requirements and is very easy to configure and install.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick guide:</p>
<p>1. download squirrelmail <a href="http://www.squirrelmail.org/download.php">here</a><br />
2. Unpack the SquirrelMail package: [via ftp or tar]<br />
3. run the installation script from shell. [<em><em>perl conf.pl]</em></em><br />
4. select &#8216;<strong>General Options</strong>&#8216; by hitting &#8216;<strong>4</strong>&#8216; on your keyboard and edit the &#8216;<strong>Data Directory</strong>&#8216; by selecting &#8216;<strong>1</strong>&#8216;<br />
this part here gets a bit tricky, but the idea is to provide the server path for the directories. If you directories aren&#8217;t existing yet then you would have to create them first.<br />
5. Once satisfied with the changes - &#8216;<strong>S</strong>&#8216; to save your changes then &#8216;<strong>Q</strong>&#8216; to quit from the menu.<br />
You may then check if your configuration worked via this link. <em>http://your-squirrelmail-location/src/configtest.php</em></p>
<p>Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask questions if you got some.</p>
