  • 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 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 473

    Turns 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.
