Wordpress Update…. Don’t forget to do this!

Thursday 10 January 2008 @ 6:03 pm

If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3.2, please don’t forget this database update:

You will need to add a new table called POST2CAT into your database.

Depending on your setup, it maybe defaulted to WP_ prefix
so make sure you add this to your SQL

You may need to access your MYSQL DB controls thru your control panel (CPANEL / WHM / PLESK / HELM ) and go thru phpmyadmin to access them.
Check your CONFIG.PHP for your database settings.

Then …easily update yr blog using the WP-AUTO-UPGRADE script. Yeah..the post ID is satanic abit.

Updating without an update

Wednesday 9 January 2008 @ 7:43 pm

Well, I had the issue with having to upgrade the files of my blog manually. I placed a wishlist with the 2.5 Dev Team in the wish list to have it auto update as Fantastico is a bit slow in updating it’s files and stuff like that and by the time they updated, you have been hacked.

So, what to do unless you want to upload everything? They have this little plugin that does auto updates. It is a small set of files and if you have many blogs like me (about 72 as of today), updating them manually is a hassle. This plugin auto updates it all for you, your files and stuff like that and backs everything up.

Oh yeah. Pre 2.0 to 2.3.x needs a new database-table called Post2Cat so it does the auto updates , which is somewhat an addon to the Tags and auto save function. You will need to add that table in manually thru your SQL.

Anyway, it’s a cool feature to have in your back end, saves alot of hassle of over writing files and stuff like that. Making sure you don’t accidentally delete the wrong one is a nightmare. So, use it..it’s plain simple.

Chao! (and let me know how U find it)
PS: download the plugin, decompress and upload everything to your wp-content/plugins folder. The need of an FTP software (or even in Explorer) is needed.

To heck with it!

Wednesday 7 March 2007 @ 5:07 pm

I know I don’t get that much traffic and I get personal at times. But then, THIS IS MY PERSONAL WEB LOG, and I don’t give a piss about what others think. It’s My Diary, what I think , do or even plan. Just like a filofax but personal and public. It’s just like anyone stopping by a house on the roadside, it’s THAT PERSONS’ HOME. You don’t go about telling him how to live his life, or what color to paint, and where he can park his car. It’s his personal space.

So to think I have to sell my own creature comfort just to accomodate some people, and that I have some ads I want to promote they don’t like, I say to em, F**K IT! Darn lucky I was not like some Ah-Lian middle aged mom who wanna get her time famous and cuss and swear in any language she likes. I don’t say P*K*-M** or cuss your mom. It’s just not right. There is a level of decency here , how crude I am or rude I was in the Army.

Yes, I was looking thru my written log of my life in the Army. We swear is a Standard Operating Procedure.A way of life when we don our uniform, but not when we took it off and wear a PT-KIT or Half-U. We are human then, Men with Brains. A creed over others. Civilian Discipline kicks in, and even with our Lt-Col of a useless CO, we become friends. Human nature. Yes our boss yet a friend when not in Green. Otherwise, he is our Enermy.

So coming back to the point of allowing advertiser to twist my tongue and allow myself to be bent that way, I saw HELL NO. You ain’t paying me enough to contravene my basic Human Rights and I am darn contemplating on taking a class Criminal Action for being Biased and Discriminant. Take against the company that pays your paycheck and you as a person. It’s a human thing. Irregardless of how I write down here, my ads has nothing to do with you. MY PERSONAL SPACE. You are just paying me for 200 words TOPS! That’s a 300px by 15 collumn advertising.

You don’t go to a paper placing a classified ad and tell them after it is published that you don’t want to be listed next to the obituaries. You tell them BEFORE placing it. Same as how I place my ads. I place my Google and Adbrite Contextual ads on the side of my post so it comes as a premium, and when you give me the full attention to reply to my ramblings, you see the more targetted ever colorful, dermographically specified advert relating to that kind of service, which pays me more. It’s a relevancy thingy.

Just like if any O’ Advertiser wanna tell Wal-Mart that they don’t want their Snickers to be placed next to the Marlboro Ads near the Tills. That is a PREMIUM SPACE for product awareness, and just like any o shopper, they will see that product for a good 30-60 secs before paying for their shopping, and most likely to buy it!

Same concept applies in any Textual Advertising. The prime spot is my post itself. A good mention plus any other images. But if you think the advertiser beside you (google) is a competitor, I can just shut it off, if you SPECIFY BEFORE HAND! Not by any other cranny nookie!~

I spend most of my time tweaking the PHP codes and PHP takes alot of effort. I want the best for any advertiser so their SEO ranks go up and along with their backlink, I am taking a cruise.

So, it’s a matter of trying to kill that walking salesman BEFORE ASKING HIM TO PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT. How silly is that? I had over 300 odd posts within the last 90 days and NO ONE COMPLAINED. I even got praises and recommendations by them as a TESTIMONIAL to their great job (and I get a good link back too thus the PR 7 on a site) so events says otherwise.

Yeah, so I am a small fry, and I am full of ideas. To hell what you think.I thought so.

Just wondering, will you take off your GOOGLE and ADBRITE ADS if PPP says so?Will you still be a postie?

End of the Line?

Monday 5 February 2007 @ 12:56 pm

I was really going thru PayPerPost’s Blog posting by Ted Murphy today, and basicly, I feel that they are going into the direction of a mixture of ReviewMe and Adbrite. I try my best to be as tack and non-intrusive with my site, having to justify to PPP every other day that my sites are based with the life in the United Kingdom, and our current Walkabouts in the Far East. Yes,I run alot of sites, even one right now,I am about to fully launch with little regards to my Memoirs while “In the Army Now”, and a localised happening updates with Travel Sector, and the Point of View in a Citizens’ Level.

Firstly, I hate ADS. Honest. Even with over 50,000 advertisers in agreement with my network, I selected only 38 for my banner, mainly the UK Insurance Sector and EBAY, being me in their circle of Trust.Not to be discriminant to anyone, I added JDate, for our Jewish friends. I have Nothing against the Jews or Christians or any ‘GOOD’ religious faith.I even eat and drink with my friends who are Sikh,Taoist,Christian,Buddist and Hindu …all on the same table…from the same plate, while we were in the forces. Yeah, it’s VEGETARIAN,so we tend to be a bit flexible, amid that it’s only Roti Prata or so.

The fact that I chose only High Click Thru Earnings ads,meaning, earning worth at least $50 per sale.I pick and chose who I wanna be in alliance with.At times, yes I do a Price Runner.Allow me to give my readers (you) a possibility to choose and pick which items to buy, in relation to my personal review.Though it’s only 10c a click, it’s going to my Charitable Causes kitty, not of my own!

Now that I heard that PPP is going into Contextual Ads or Bubble Ads as they put it,I am VERY RESERVED to what I want to place in my sites. My main sites had a HUGE DROP in my returning visitors. A good yardstick is at Athira.NET where the Google PR went from 6 to ZERO with a NO PAGERANK PASSED indication, and My wife’s Food and Recipe segment , well..I don’t wanna comment.

While I think some ads won’t make the go away deeply,but a contextual ads which I have no control over is really really dangerous.I placed a huge control over Adsense itself,so I see only “KIDS RUNNING ABOUT” advertisements, and as in accordance to Advertising Standards Agency regulations.

It’s ugly enough that I have to place an icon (This is a Sponsored Ad by PayPerPost),with a color schema that does not fit my own site, like what PPP tried on their ‘Oh Bugger’ platform when segmentation kicks in.Honestly, FLORECENT GREEN?? What were they thinking??Even at Bidvertiser, which I really hate, allow me to successfully customise my own color schema, to a certain it does not look out of shape, and they,just paste what they think is great?

Take a look at this PAID POST I made about Loudlaunch, and amid my reservations of their DISCLOSURE POLICY,the end wordings are, to me still acceptable.Though I prefer not to, so that a product I launch looks seemlessly as if it’s a normal day-to-day life diary entity. Like who don’t wrote product reviews? I do alot BEFORE Payperpost. That is Way Before they even know what the Internet is all about. It’s called Book Reviews.And we, as a site publisher, place advert linking for you to BUY THAT BOOK or similar books in the same sector,or by the Author itself. We don’t get a free book for that, other than the occasional gift vouchers given to affiliates by Borders or Amazon for getting x amount of people coming in or even entries. Some, we barter trade our commission for similar products, even personally autographed book by the writer. I do still remember that Harry Potter book I had while I was in Glasgow. Even my Lord of the Rings trilogy book is still here. And my kind sponsor at that time, Microsoft, sponsored alot of my books, from the inception of Site Builder Network to Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer program, I have it all, sponsored so that I can learn the tips and tricks of the Microsoft System and then promote their server programs to others. I write every day what I learn , the hacks, tricks and round-a-round.But I do not have to boldly say I am sponsored by or brought to you by Microsoft right? I worded it, that Bill Gates wanted you to know about…..and then it’s understood. We know it’s sponsored or somewhat like that. We get our freebie already.Even Network Solutions sent me to Singapore 500 pieces of T-Shirts (Which I still wear) of my Domain Name and it said, Domain Name : from Network Solutions. I even get to customise what slogan I want,” Your One Stop E-Point”

That is Corporate Sponsorship.Costed them alot of money for postage and costs alone, not just to one, but to SO MANY. Even my relations with Commission Junction is from their early days, till I has to wind up my US Company and restart, they are supportive. Promotional stuff,plus cash is MORE THAN WELCOMED. Heck I even put a large icon saying “Get your Freebie here” , bigger than the PPP icon to let people know who is sponsoring.

Now that they want to do bubble ads and such…I have to wait and see. Yes, we Oriental Operators may not be what you guys want, but we provide more indepth information than what you can get elsewhere. If you hate us so much, then don’t watch YAN CAN COOK, or any of Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee movies. Yes, we are the emerging markets,which the Europeans only seems to realise and try to get their feet in.To Globalise. Realising what Prophet Muhammed said, about find knowledge till ends of China. Cos why? They made their empires colonising the Far East and Asia, now they learnt their lesson and with deep roots, they know how and who to get into. US, the BLOGGERS. Even reviews in Chinese are well sought after if you want your car to be assembled and sold in China! That’s almost 2 BILLION CUSTOMERS. Far more than the average American buying power, and all IN CASH.No card,No Credit. Plain Cash.

So eventually, I will have to see if this is going to be worth for me, and you the readers. Alot of you are just silent bloggers,who back link and trackback (thanks).Eventually, it may seem that I have to revert to my old ways, and get my good old friends to pay for a good mention.

Any Freebies Anyone?

Oh Ya,did I forget that the FREE DOMAIN NAME offer still stands (or a months hosting fee refunded) compliments of …someone.That is my own personal offer.

Keyloggers

Saturday 6 January 2007 @ 6:07 pm

While some of the laws of the locality prohibits me from babbling about this, I must say my peace about keystroke logger.

You see, a keystroke logger is not just a hacker’s tool, but a way for the employer to keep track of the employees wasting precious work time chatting away on the YahooMessenger , Instant Messaging or worse, IRC room chats, like my friends across the road,working in INTEL.

Believe you me,some of them are really pedophiles and sex maniacs, going after chatrooms to chat girls up and all they want is a shag.I noe it, cos I was a network admin at a major telco here, monitoring what goes about, some, even went to the extent of selling customer’s details, like the personal details, credit card and financial data.

So there is a plus side of the keystroke logger, not for hacking only.

Cye!

OsCommerce galore

Friday 29 December 2006 @ 5:38 pm

While I am not that a favorite of osCommerce, it does it’s work well enough rite? with multi plugins and addons, cart controls, there are always afew ways to manually tweak the system.
Like those guys at The osCommerce Cafe, whom I do at times buy their own templates for my customers. Compared to paying just under $100 quarterly is darn cheaper than to flip thru a catalog of templates , of each costing more than $200 a pop is more than what in my books CHEAP DEAL.

And since the The osCommerce Cafe is operated by the author, Myles O’Reily *(I dunno if he is related to the O’reily books), The (for the Idiotic) Programmers Guide to OSCOMMERCE, then they have the authority to say and dictate of what is to be said , issn’t it not?

I took a lead to add on similar to what they have done to my friend’s WebShop selling sweets and more in KL, and I was a real pain when customising the site.So I just take the core to the Content Management System, and edit this…. cut that… plug that service in…and hey… I got MoneyBookers to work!

What I really hate about those carts is the inflexibility to work with currency exchanges and when it goes to PAYPAL, the system don’t wanna accept it. So like I gotta install and comission an API to call XE.COM UCC CGI to convert Malaysia Ringgit to US Dollars. So it’s just a median of RM3.48 to a US Dollar, but if with the reverse is being done, we have to take thru One US Dollar to 4 Ringgits.
So that is a predicament.

And the local system, like in Singapore uses NETS and Malaysians love their MayBank2U …so we have to tolerate all these movements and all.

And so..I learn it’s not as easy to up and running a Cart..so I buy them off the shelf.
