How to make your plurk page ridiculously hard to read

There, if you want people not to read your plurk updates, make a background like the one shown above. Check the actual page here.

Movies watched: June 09

It’s a lean month for me when it comes to movie watching that I managed only to view four movies as listed below. Okuribito is really a beautiful film that garnered it the 2009 Oscar Best Foreign Language Film award. It has a mix of drama and comedy as a cellist becomes an accidental encoffiner.

17 fois Cecile Cassard is another notable film that is worth watching. It was shown in this year’s French Film Festival at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall. As for the other two: Drag Me to Hell and, especially Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, are not so good. Transformers has become a joke with a thin story but the computer generated graphics do really stand out.

Okuribito (Departures) – Yojiro Takita, 2008 (Japan)
17 fois Cecile Cassard (Seventeen Times Cecile Cassard) – Christophe Honore, 2002 (France)
Drag Me to Hell – Sam Raimi, 2009 (United States)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Michael Bay, 2009 (United States)

Wordpress 2.8 image uploader problem solved

I had problems with Wordpress 2.8 ever since I installed it in my blogs. The Incoming Links fatal error at the dashboard was already addressed. This time, I have finally solved the image uploader problem when making new posts.

How?

I disabled the Click Tags plugin. That’s it. Problem solved.

Wordpress 2.8 problem –> Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object

Most of my blogs are already in Wordpress 2.8 but unfortunately, I am having problems. First, I can’t upload images using the uploader. Nothing happens when I click on it. The other, which I will deal here is this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/.pooper/estancabigas/simbahan.net/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 647

This is the error seen at the Incoming Links box that renders the rest of the dashboard page blank. It means that there is a problem with the RSS link that will serve the information. In my case, its this:

http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url=http://simbahan.net

It’s not only simbahan.net, but also two other blogs.

The solution?

• hover on the Incoming Links and click on the configure hyperlink that will appear
• in the Enter the RSS feed URL here: box, replace it with

http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://your.blog.address.here/

• submit

That’s it! Your Incoming Links is now okay and your dashboard will render completely.
