Now, before I go on, these are based on Visual Studio 2005 (but I have just looked at Visual Studio 2008 and I have no reason to think these don’t apply). So what are my comments this time around on my Microsoft bashing merry go round (more…)

Well, I’ve dabbled with C# before, tweaking a RunUO instance, but this is the first time I’ve actually used the language in anger, writing something from scratch, so I figured I’d just jot down a few thoughts. The project… a PowerPoint add-in.

For anyone who uses my Advanced Custom Field Widget, I thought I’d get ahead of the game and see how it fairs when running under WordPress 3. My initial tests running WP3 on my development blog suggest it will be fine, and should not require any changes.

The tests were done with ACFW Version 0.82 and WordPress 3.0 (Beta 1).

With the release of WordPress 2.9, a fault with the Advanced Custom Field Widget was identified which resulted in blank instances of the widget being displayed. Version 0.82 (available here) has just been released to address the problem.

For more information about the widget, check out my wiki.

In my continued efforts to improve the information I provide about the projects I publish, I have moved the information about the ShroudBNC Netgamers script to my wiki.

I’m planning on moving more content to the wiki over the next few weeks, mainly because I find it easier to manage the content than I do when it’s published with WordPress.

I’m pleased to announce, after a bit of a delay, the next version of the Advanced Custom Field Widget has just hit the WordPress Subversion servers.

Well, seems today is my lucky day for finding useful bits of information out about WordPress. Here’s the deal… you backup your site, move servers, restore everything and it all appears to work, BUT, when you go back and try and add an old image that you uploaded before you moved, it won’t display the image in the media library… instead you’re getting an error spouting something about security and open_basedir… if this is your problem… read on as I have a solution.
