Fog

It was a thick fog outside on the streets this morning. Then the sun came out and moved the fog from the outside to inside – to my head. I just can\’t stand when it is hot (I mean when there is more than 5C degree difference in temp from the server room).

WP Plugins problem solved

I have finally found what was wrong with some plugins (including SK2) on my WP installation. First of all, a couple of times I was receiving the error that running script had exceeded the max amount of allowed memory (which was 8M), while trying to push 14M, so I just increased the number to 16M in the /etc/php.ini.

Second, I have increased the size of the output buffer, which is initially 4096, to 8192. The idea is that output buffer allows scripts to issue headers after (or in the middle) of the content outputting. This is done by buffering the content output, then catching the header, displaying it and then displaying the content. In my case I had a problem: while trying to activate some plugins, I was given a dialog to download the plugin.php file. This behavior was caused by wrong/missing header, because the amount of buffered data was exceeding 4096 bytes. By doubling this amount I solved all my problems for the time being.

Site modifications

Here we go, some more modifications on this blog:

  1.  It seems that I have finally found a nice theme: Lorem Ipsum v1.2.7 by Brajeshwar which I have modified here and there to match me (including the addition of the top widget where I have placed a flickr badge, adjusting the CSS and some more).
  2. I have started writting an About Me page which I hope will become somehow more consistent and full in a time. I am also planning for some additional pages later on (hopefully).
  3. As I have mentioned in point 1, I have created a widget for displaying the badge from my flickr page.
  4. The links (including blogroll and others) were recategorized. I have also added/removed some and I am planning to create a full blogroll page later on where I will place the whole bunch of links I am reading and watching on a daily basis.

I think that more changes will be comming from time to time. Meanwhile, if you see any bugs/mistypes/misbihaviours, please fill free to let me know so I can review and correct em all.
