Discovering Myself

This error kept appearing when I was trying to install some RSS aggregation plugins for WordPress. Well I couldn’t figure out what this was occuring. So into debug mode I went.

I’m not seeing any native code errors. So I drill down and discover I’m running PHP4 with the usual plugins. So that all seems fine. But I figure, what the hell I can just point the PHP handler to the PHP5 instance that’s installed. So I set the .htaccess to:
# PHP5
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

That solved the problem, so I assume that there was an extension that wasn’t working properly in the 4.x instance of php.

MojoKid writes “According to a release issued by Rocky Mountain Tracking, an 18-year old man, Shaun Malone, was able to successfully contest a speeding ticket in court using the data from a GPS device installed in his car. This wasn’t just any old make-a-left-turn-100-feet-ahead-onto-Maple-Street GPS; this was a vehicle-tracking GPS device — the kind used by trucking fleets — or in this case, overprotective parents. The device was installed in Malone’s car by his parents, and the press release makes no mention if the teenager knew that the device was installed in his vehicle at the time.”

This is an interesting article that I saw on slashdot. I wonder what this will mean for the future of processor competition.

Barence writes to mention that after seeing almost $1.2 billion in second quarter losses, AMD’s CEO has resigned. Stepping up to fill his shoes will be Dirk Meyer, previous company president and COO. “Only two years ago, the company held a processor performance lead and was making serious inroads into Intel’s market. However, AMD failed to keep pace with Intel’s Core technology, and it once again surrendered its performance crown at the dawn of the multicore era. Those problems were exacerbated by the bungled launch of the Barcelona processors, which prompted Ruiz to make a frank public apology last December.”
