my Speed Test results!

Thank you to all those who have downloaded and enjoyed my plug-in and all those who have taken to say something nice.

The problem with this error message Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() is that I don’t actually know how to fix it. If you look in the source code you’ll see that I’ve tried to trap “empty variables”…

if (is_null($LIMIT)) {
                $LIMIT = 5;
}

Now this approach seems to work on my server(s), and works for some people, but there are a number of people whom is doesn’t work for; unfortunately the majority of the WP community are no more technical than myself and I have never received any feedback on how to fix this.

I’m not a programmer, I’ve never claimed to be a PHP guru; as I don’t know how to fix this problem in the latest version of phpbb-recent-topics I tried to combat the problem by introducing a widget. The widget it aimed at people who don’t know php, it allows you to “drag” the list of recent topics into your sidebar, but for some reason people still prefer to edit their sidebar.php :confused:

I would to remind all readers that it quite clearly states on my announcement :

Support
I’ve always been honest about support, there isn’t any. Basically I write this for my own needs and then publish it for you to use for free. You’re more than welcome to post comments here and if you tag wordpress forum posts with “phpbb-recent-topics” I’ll reply to you there, but we all have busy lives and I make no promises on how quickly I’ll reply to you.

Currently the only solution I can offer to anyone suffering from this error message is to replace phpbb_topics() with phpbb_topics(”5″), if that doesn’t work then please accept my apologies.

If anyone would like to offer a patch for my plugin I would gladly include it and accredit appropriately.

Thanks for Reading!

The firewall is replying to arp requests even though both the source & destination of the traffic are on the same (outside) interface, now I haven’t manged to work out why the firewall was doing this, but I did find a fix on the cisco forums.

sysopt noproxyarp outside

Names, IPs & MAC’s have been changed to protect the innocent.

TCP 88,135,389,636,445,1025,1026
UDP 88,389,636 

I think this would be a good use of the system, it would be nice for us gamers to automatically earn some trophies based on some of the games we’ve already played; this idea benefits the publishers too as “friends” will be able to see other users games and may be influenced to buy them

…and DUELSHOCK3 support too please.

Thanks!

Recently I’ve been having a small problem with mediatomb, further investigation lead me to a “Inotify thread caught exception” error which can be fixed by recursively resetting your file permissions.

What I have done to fix the issue is save the following code as /etc/cron.daily/fix_mt.sh and ‘jobs a gooden’

#!/bin/bash
# Load up your mediatomb directories...
MediaTombDirectories[0]="/home/me/Videos"
MediaTombDirectories[1]="/home/me/Music"
# add more if needbe
# MediaTombDirectories[2]="/home/me/files"

# Setup find correctly.
export IFS=$'\n'

# Loop through our array.
for x in ${MediaTombDirectories[@]}
	do
		# Find all directories & subdirectories
		for i in $(find $x -type d)
			do
				# Fix Permissions
				chmod -c 775 $i
				chown -c me:user $i
			done

		# Find all Files
		for i in $(find $x -type f)
			do
				# Fix Permissions
				chmod -c 664 $i
				chown -c me:user $i
			done
	done

Quick tip: You (or root) will get e-mailed every time this executes, you can make the script more verbos by changing all “-c” to “-v“, or make it silent by removing the “-c” altogether.

Enjoy!

I ran a packet capture and found that the phone was “bouncing” the RTP stream off the firewall rather than connecting directly to the peer phone… very weird! The problem was solved by enabling…

same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

I thought I post this for some future googlers!

The following example creates two redundant interfaces:

asa(config)# interface redundant 1
asa(config-if)# member-interface gigabitethernet 0/0
asa(config-if)# member-interface gigabitethernet 0/1
asa(config-if)# interface redundant 2
asa(config-if)# member-interface gigabitethernet 0/2
asa(config-if)# member-interface gigabitethernet 0/3

Comments on my blog pose a problem, a tell tale sign of an e-mail or comment spam is poor english, now I’m not talking about having 100% correct grammar or spelling, in-fact this post title “good english comments” isn’t correct! What I’m talking about is comments that simply don’t make sense.

Recently I’ve been working with a guy from Brazil, he’s not the 1st I’ve met, but this was obviously his 1st trip to the UK. During our work it was very apparent that half of what he said/wrote didn’t make sense and in order to carry out his work I’ve had to guess at a load of the requirements.

Today I’ve received a comment on my blog which I simply can’t decide if it’s someone with poor English skills or SPAM, there’s no hyper-links which leans me toward it being genuine, but I simply don’t want to take the risk, I haven’t even finished repairing the pictures on my site, let alone have the time to clean up after some inter-twat spammer! I would like to thank both akismet & bad behavior for all their help with detecting spam…. I wonder if there’s some kind of grammar checker for comments to help the real people submit comments that make sense?

So with all being said, I send my apologies to all who have had comments deleted on my blog.
