WordPress 2.7 beta 3, movement to VPS

Sooo…installed WP 2.7b3 on my BitFolk VPS, and it seems pretty decent so far, though FigureRender’s settings took some fun with MySQL’s command line (not to mention the images that were deleted but weren’t and caned my upstream no end).

“Long term”, it seems like a  pretty good not bad idea to run this from here, rather than hanging off my Zen (will it ever be Be?) ADSL…

Vista weirdness

So Wednesday, Windows (Vista) on my laptop did an Xbox (crapped itself and died). Woke it up from standby, started up, black screen. Forced the power off and started it up, black screen for ages, Windows finally starts, Event Log/Sidebar/Wireless all kaput.

Some Googling later, and found this. Long and short, run NETSH WINSOCK RESET CATALOG and restart. Job done, it all works again.
