New Theme: Vistered Little is Great

Posted on February 6th, 2007 by Reiner.

I always wanted to have it, because it’s just hilarious: Vistered Little.

It appears to work properly with WP 2.1 and even with WP-Cache 2.1, as far as my requirements are concerned.

Points to keep in mind:

1. Switching backgrounds requires JavaScript
2. There’s a tiny ommision within the file vistered-little-1/index.php, which prevents the footer to display properly, only if your web server’s scripting default is not set to PHP.  Look for “<?” at “<?php } else { ?><p class=”footertext”>” and change it to “<?php”, so that your web server knows precisely, which script processor should be called.
3. I didn’t find any admin link, so just navigate to <your blog url>/wp-admin

Many Thanks to Ricardo Galli for creating the most-wanted WordPress theme in the world!

Problems with WordPress 2.1 and IIS and TinyMCE

Posted on February 5th, 2007 by Reiner.
Categories: English, at other Locations, Computers.

After upgrading to WordPress 2.1 strange things cropped up: Editing posts was unacceptably slow (after 2 minutes browser still showing xx left), icons were missing from the visual editor, and other weirdnesses made it virtually impossible to create or revise posts.

It took some time to identify the cause: With WP 2.1 running under Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) ISAPI, TinyMCE tries to access the webserver using https seemingly at random :-( This is caused by tiny_mce_config.php trying to determine whether the original request used https in a way that does not work with IIS and ISAPI.

Endlich - at last

Posted on March 19th, 2006 by Reiner.

Vor kurzem habe ich all meine bisherige Technik gekündigt: Telefon, T-DSL, Webhosting und Webmail. Und das kam so:

Manchmal arbeite ich auf La Palma im Home-Office und finde dabei bei einem lieben Freund Asyl. DSL ist dort noch nicht in die ländlichen Gebiete vorgedrungen und so haben wir gemeinsam aus Standardkomponenten diverse Richtfunkstrecken aufgebaut, mit denen wir das DSL eines Nachbarn mitbenutzen können. Ich selbst nutze das DSL heftigsts für die Fernarbeit per Terminal Services (habe kein Notebook) und zum Telefonieren.  Inzwischen gibt es bis zu 4 Telefone die alle gleichzeitig bimmeln, wenn man meine +49 (30) 868 70 65 04 Status: anruft. Damit wäre mein Telekom-ISDN-Anschluss völlig überflüssig geworden, wenn nicht auch mein T-DSL zuhause darüber laufen würde.
