I said cancel, but I don’t know whether to trust Firefox or Thawte. :(
UPDATE!
They said they received the details OK, even though I clicked cancel!!
(Yes, FF3)
After a fresh install of XP, C:\pagefile.sys was taking up 2GB - reflecting the size of my physical RAM - and I was already running out of space on my system partition, so I decided to check up on what I could do to it. Went to System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Advanced (yeah, doubly advanced!) and it says “Total paging size: 0 MB”… so I thought “fuck it” and deleted pagefile.sys.
It hasn’t returned… and I’m not having problems. Apparently, Windows creates it when installed, then doesn’t use it, if you have enough RAM.
A strawberry is a strawberry, right? WRONG! Today I took receipt of a punnet of strawberries, grown by a neighbour. Real strawberries? Growing wild, here, in the frozen hinterland? Yes, they’re alpine strawberries!
They also taste amazing, in a “tastes like a strawberry but is the size of a blueberry” way. Treat size fun, direct from nature!!
I wrote this little bit of code (in three parts) which lets users choose which order they see your blog in. There are two orders (chronological or reverse): reverse is the standard blog order, with newest posts first, and chronological shows earliest posts first. If you’re creating a blog which documents your progress (for example, a travel blog or a ‘learning about something new’ blog) then you might want to provide this option for visitors, as new visitors would want to read it from the start, while returning visitors (you hope!) would want to see the latest instalment. Here’s the code:
1. Create a page in the root of your site called page.php:
<?php
// Sets the pageorder cookie
$type = $_GET["o"];
setcookie("pageorder", $type, time()+(60*60*24*365));
header("Location: /");
?>2. Edit your themes/yourtheme/index.php (aka Main Index Template in Theme Editor) so you have this after get_header();
$data="c"; // Change this to 'r' for blog-style as default
$cookieName = "pageorder";
// Gets the pageorder cookie. c = chronological, r = reverse
if (isset($_COOKIE[$cookieName]))
{ $data = $_COOKIE[$cookieName]; }
if ( $data != "r" )
{
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");
}
3. Finally, this goes into sidebar.php, or wherever you want the ’switch’ to be:
<h3>View this blog...</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="/page.php?o=c">From the beginning</a></li>
<li><a href="/page.php?o=r">Newest first</a></li>
</ul>Hello, I am Taras, I have released music in the past as Pidgin, and this is my personal blog. This is not the home of the frankly shit instant messenger Pidgin IM.
