Trying to use WP-Super Cache locally on WampServer

Design, General, Wordpress / February 18th, 2009 / Comments Off on Trying to use WP-Super Cache locally on WampServer

I simply want tohave the WP-Super Cache plugin enabled, even if it’s inactive so I can move forward with a mirror copy of my local and production development versions of my site. However, enabled WP-Super Cache makes this impossible. There has to be a solution. Do you know it?

General, Random / February 16th, 2009 / 4 Comments »

So last week, I took the plunge…a long awaited plunge…into finally buying a nice computer monitor. I have done this before and it has not turned out well. My wife has seen me purchased a couple monitors, only to return them. With her financially blessing, she gave me the green light this third time in which I purchased a 2005 24 inch 2405FPW Dell Ultrasharp Monitor. I snagged it for $300 off ebay.

Well, I took the plunge about 10 minutes ago to try out Vimeo which is an online video hosting service, but allows you to link in with various channels and groups that your videos can be a part of. I added my CSS Image Sprites in 10 minutes video.

Another reason I love WordPress – life just became easier

General, Tips, Wordpress / February 4th, 2009 / Comments Off on Another reason I love WordPress – life just became easier

I am porting over a site that is built with WP on a windows/IIS server. I am moving it to a Linux server (yea) but the site has a TON of internal hardcoded links to things like “?page_id=454”, etc… I was concerned if I went with friendly URL’s or permalinks, I would be doing a ton of text replacing. Fear not, WP auto corrects this issue.

37 Signals products are no longer free: Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, and Campfire

Awful, General, Random / February 3rd, 2009 / 8 Comments »

I admit when it comes to 37 Signals products, I have not been kept up to date. I used to use Basecamp and Backpack fairly religiously over a year ago, but haven’t used them since because of daily distractions, forgetfulness, life, etc. However, I was still shocked to see they no longer offer a free version of any of their products. Yes, they offer a 30 day free trial, but I am referring to an actual free account for those needing basis needs. When did this happen?
