Month: April 2005

  • Falmer factor in election

    Brighton stadium plans are a factor in the election in the region. Of course, given Brighton’s recent form, the Withdean might well be big enough for a Conference side. Gah.

  • Kitten cuteness

    A short animation all about mannirs (work safe). Lovely.

  • WP woes – yet more

    I’ve found a new problem – the category archives only show the most recent posts when called, and not the entire history of posts in that category.
    UPDATE: that’s due to some missing PHP from my index.php file, code that was not required under the old version. Bad update instructions, methinks. I’ll need to figure out what code is required and add it, but it needs to generate "next page" and "previous page" links.
    No solutions to any of the other problems yet, and I’m getting increasingly fed up. I’ve asked 34sp.com to check the status of the AllowOverride in my httpd.conf file, but I’ve not yet had a reply from them.

  • BBC election blog

    BBC election blog:

    In case anyone should accuse us of belatedly getting on the weblog bandwagon, we would (proudly) point out that in the 2001 election, this was the site which brought you The Campaign Today, which in due course became Nick Robinson’s Newslog, both of which showed what a useful, immediate and interactive medium this is.

    Also:

    Burning issue of the day:
    Q: What swimwear do the party leaders wear?
    A: According to the Independent diary, the leaders told the Easyjet in-flight magazine that Mr Blair sports surf-wear, Mr Howard doesn’t know, and Mr Kennedy replied "Speedos, I think." Speedos?

    Could prove to be informative and amusing. However, other election blogs are available.

  • Slow blogging day

    Closer-to-Death Kenny is 41 today.
    Sorry, that was unkind and probably uncalled for – but funny nonetheless.

  • Brian on meeting

    How Brian met Julia – altogether now: "ahhh!"

  • WP woe continued

    The only outstanding issue is related to the archive links not functioning. I think this may be related to .htaccess not being updated by WP, even though it is CHMOD=666 and mod_rewrite is available. As a result, I can’t use fancy permalinks. Others have the exact same problem. I think that this might be caused AllowOverride being disabled in the httpd.conf file, but I don’t have access to that file on 34sp.com in order to check. I’m also concerned that setting AllowOverride to all would create a security hole (although I’m happy to be corrected in my assumptions by anyone that knows more than me).
    Suggestions?

  • WP woe update

    I’ve fixed the problem with the categories links not working.
    The categories link list is still in the wrong order, though I believe that I’m using the correct PHP script to call them in alphabetical order.
    The month archive links are still broken.
