The whole point to writing the Wiki Text jQuery plugin was so that I could use it on the Thistle Society web site to enhance the description text from Google Calendar events shown on the Events page. So, I was a bit irritated that it didn’t work when I tried it. Most of it turned [...]

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): When Upgraded to WordPress 3.1
In case anyone else has the same problem, I saw this error when I upgraded my WordPress 3.0.1 installation to 3.1 using the automatic upgrade. The dashboard worked fine, but when I tried to look at the site itself the page wouldn’t load in IE 8 or Firefox 3.6. With Google Chrome I get the [...]
I’ve Written My Own WordPress Site Theme

Adding Calendar Events to Google Calendar in C#

Following on from the previous article, Loading XML in C# with XML Serialisation, I needed to upload the events into the Google Calendar from my C# application (Event Manager). To do this, first spend hours scouring [...]

An Update on iPhone Email Settings with Vodafone and Virgin Media
I wrote a while ago about setting up my email on my iPhone – it worked, then it didn’t work and then it worked and… Until tonight it didn’t work – I could receive emails fine, but it wouldn’t send them out. From my original Virgin Media account settings, the outgoing SMTP server didn’t work [...]
Windows 7 Can’t Access Windows Server Shares
OK, I said I was chuffed with Windows 7 – but there was one problem that caused me some agro – accessing my other computers’ shared drives on the network. I was somewhat disappointed when I realised that it insisted on joining this “HomeGroup” – of course I had purchased the upgrade to Home Premium [...]
