k2 for bbPress - Updated v0.02

April 11th, 2008 - Share This - Tags: , , , ---

k2_for_bbpress_screenshot_yes_another_one
 
 

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress, but a major milestone from the automattic guys has pretty much broken the theme.

I’ve done a complete re-write; as before I’m only distributing the style.css (and a screenshot) no template.php files, this ensure that no security issues are associated with my theme.

Download k2 for bbPress

Installation

  • Create a “my-templates” directory in your bbPress installation directory
  • Download unzip k2 for bbpress in that directory
  • Under “design” and “themes” select k2
  • done :)

Recent phpBB Topics on Wordpress Plugin v0.4

Admin GUI

It’s been a year since the last release so perhaps this version should be called “about time!” v0.4 has primarily been released as a bugfix version, if you’re happy with v0.3 and have it running fine then don’t bother, in fact edit phpbb_recent_topics.php so that WordPress stops complaining about finding a newer version.

Download phpBB_Recent_Topics_0.4 from wordpress.org

What’s New?

  • Most importantly I have tested this plugin with phpBB3 and WP2.5 so I’ve updated the readme.txt to reflect this.

Call to undefined function: register_sidebar_widget

April 8th, 2008 - Share This - Tags: , , , ---

So WP2.5 is out, and I figured it was about time I squashed that load bug on phpbb_recent_topics, while I’m at it I figure I’ll wigetize it.

The problem is that the example on the automattic site doesn’t actually work! If you paste…

function widget_myuniquewidget($args) {
    extract($args);
?>
        <?php echo $before_widget; ?>
            <?php echo $before_title
                . 'My Unique Widget'
                . $after_title; ?>
            Hello, World!
        <?php echo $after_widget; ?>
<?php
}
register_sidebar_widget('My Unique Widget','widget_myuniquewidget');

Into a blank plugin you get this in your logs…

Dear WordPress User, YES there will be a plugin update for 2.5, YES I am very busy, YES I do love you and the community ;)

4 Days Later and I’m still suffering from loosing that hours sleep, my head feels like it’s full of fuzz!!!

Happy Easter Everyone, Bring on the Chocolate ! :D

Fedora HP Compaq nc6320: Overheating CPU

March 17th, 2008 - Share This - Tags: , , ---

I’ve been having issues with my laptop overheating recently, in fact ever since loading fedora the cpu has run hot. According to CoreTemp when in windows my CPU idles at 56ºC ( i.e. I’ve logged into windows opened outlook and walked away) considering my AMD Desktop machine runs at 40ºC with two users logged and the CPU peaking at 100%, means that my laptop cooks. In Fedora I’ve found that the CPU actually Idles at around 70ºC which is a joke, it means that the fan is kicking out hot air causing my desk and everything around it to get proper hot - don’t leave any chocolate bars near me!

Learned something new recently, Nokia IPSO supports "backup interface" except they call it "link redundancy", it’s all the same really :)

Cisco Pix Firewall in front of a Playstation 3.

March 5th, 2008 - Share This - Tags: , , , , , ---

If you saw this tweet, you’ll see that a little while ago I had some fun with Playstation 3 online gaming; it’s probably my own fault because I’m possibly the only person with a version 6 Cisco Pix Firewall at home in front of their playstation.

If you want to get online gaming working though your firewall there’s a really good online reference here and my specific grumble about having to open up a shed load of ports for EA’s Burnout paradise is documented in their support area.

To summarize, this is what I’ve got open:
