To auto-submit my blog posts to the new digg I need to publish this key : a80eb0b39ad7421e8f52c699ec4a68b6

…so.. nothing to see here, move along please…

I wanted to run a custom query against WP3.0 custom post types but all the documentation and google I found all pointed to posts in categories which doesn’t work if your post type isn’t post, this was my solution….

$my_query = $wp_query->query; // Copy the existing query into a new one
$my_query['posts_per_page'] = "30"; // change the number we want displayed.
$my_query['orderby'] = "title"; // Sort by title.
$my_query['order'] = "ASC"; // 'A' first!
query_posts($my_query);  // Run our query.... normal service resumes.

Hopefully this post will give someone the light bulb moment they’re after.

My daughters new iPod Shuffle was skipping tracks after only playing the first 5 to 20 seconds.

Yep, that QR code should point you back to linickx.com… that’s my first play with the google charts API… humm, what next??

This hit my feed reader this morning…

Blocker Fixed…. http://codereview.chromium.org/2725005 … I feel a Chrome switch brewing.

You’re on a network with only HTTP/HTTPS access to the internet… you’ve got OpenVPN setup to tunnel all your traffic out via HTTPS…. but you still want to access the local LAN?

All the OpenVPN client is doing is changing the routing table on the OS (netstat -nr / route print) you’ll see that the route to the OpenVPN server is in there and the default gateway is the OpenVPN tunnel interface, to connect to the local LAN simply add a route via the “local gatway”, i.e. the same gateway used to get to the vpn server.

Cool eh? Reverse-split-tunneling!!!
