Reason #2231 why I hate Vista
Went to go open a PDF file this morning on my work computer and got this error message:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.

Safari / Webkit Developer Tools
Safari ships with awesome developer tools (similar to Firebug), but it’s disabled by default. To activate the developer tools in Mac OS X, quit any running instances of Safari (or Webkit), open up the Terminal and type
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 -
sIFR displays green background instead of transparency…
… in Safari 4 (Windows). That is, until I updated to the latest version of Flash and then it works as it should. Re-boot, re-install, re-work. That’s my mantra for bug fixing. Most of the time it works.

Updating to WordPress 2.8
WordPress 2.8 is out and I’ve updated most of my (clients’) sites. While most of them went off without a hitch, I did get an error on one of them:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method
WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()
in ../wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 473Turns out this is related to an older version of the Redirection plugin. I rolled back WP to 2.7, reinstalled (the newer version) of Redirection and WP 2.8 and all is well now. Hopefully this will help someone.
