  • I Am Looking For a Php / MySQL Developer For Contractual Work

    I have a laundry list of things to do on my websites. I do not have the time to do them, and so I am looking for someone with some experience to do them for me. Sample jobs are: update wordpress, re-activate some domains, update some plugins, check consistency with Internet Explorer, deal with my…

  • How I Fixed That Annoying WordPress Permalinks Issue

    I detailed here an annoying issue with Kikay Ex that happened after the Big Server Move a few weeks back. For some odd reason, after the move all the previous internal links were appended with ‘index.php’. For example: what used to be http://kikay.exchange.ph/2006/10/30/kikay-cams/ became: http://kikay.exchange.ph/index.php/2006/10/30/kikay-cams/ The problem was that I was using a wp-plugin called…

  • Mobile Ex is no more.

    It has occurred to me that if I were working on only one site, say, Kikay, or Movie, then it’d have probably been a super major outstanding grabe fantastic over hit by now. But then again I’m probably just making excuses, being as I am, not completely happy with the state of each individual site.…

  • We Encourage you to use Firefox.

    I have made the ff. banners to be installed on the Exchanges: I didn’t want to write the usual “Best Viewed by using Firefox”, because I didn’t want there to be any mistake. The sites still work alright on Internet Explorer (well at least I think so), but the term “Best Viewed..” might mean that…

  • Parents Ponder, Phoebe’s going, and yes, Another server memory upgrade

    First off, congrats to my main girl Jen for hosting a terrific parenting event for Mom.Exchange.Ph, sponsored by Verdana Homes, last Sat the 16th, at Coffee Tea Bean and Leaf (is that right? or something like that. I mix up that name often.), at the Convergys Building Makati. I peeled my lazy ass off bed…

  • I haven’t been updating this much because

    I’ve been worried about my host server’s RAM consumption, which at 352mb. has once again proven not enough. Last night it started to kill processes again (usually mysql), and the sites weren’t connecting. I checked Analytics and at some point around 10PM, visits spiked to almost 100 just for kikay for that one hour, and…

  • Annoying WordPress Permalinks Error Since Server Move

    Warning, highly techie post. All those looking for my usual touchy feely posts please move along now, nothing to see here. Just documenting a disaster of a Permalinks error on WordPress below, which I posted at the WordPress Forum. Posting it below again to document it, to help anyone who has to go through same…

  • A Server To Move The World

    Today’s the 3rd day after The Big Server Move And to those who don’t really know what I’m talking about, it’s the day I moved my domain Exchange.ph from just – barely – handling – it hosting at Mobilehive.com to hosting – for – the – big – boys Rimuhosting.com (I figured I had to…

  • OpenDNS Rocks the Mike Right

    John Roberts of OpenDNS was kind enough to drop by to educate my behind on OpenDNS’ ability to refresh their cache, and consequently pointed me to cache.opendns.com, where I found the culprit! I cleared that out, and apparently only Kikay had that problem. Mom, Basketball, Movie and the rest were ok. After checking them all…

  • Just a few quick thoughts before I hie off to ZZZ land

    Day 2 of the big server move is highlighted by three issues. Turns out php’s default 8mb allocation was the culprit when I was doing stuff like accessing wp-admin’s pages and it was returning white empty pages. I bumped it up to 16mb. and immediately, that wasn’t enough too. So I bumped it up to…
