Twitter has finally turned off all basic authentication and gone over to using oauth. I knew this was coming, I had no excuse to wait to upgrade various Twitter scripts used by MMISoftware, and also the plugins on the range of blogs we host, but I did. So, what did I learn?

Just a quick note for any ‘webmasters’ upgrading to WordPress 2.8, and who are using WP Super Cache.

If your permissions are not set right on the wp-content folder, and you are running WP Super Cache, you will encounter a ’500 Internal Server Error’ once you upgrade to WordPress 2.8. This will only show up on the second load of the page when it is being pulled from the cache. So, to check make sure you do a couple of loads of a page.

The good news is this is easily fixable, and in fact the WP Super Cache alerts you to the problem, and tells you how to fix it….

Happy Blogging!

Over the years I have done a number of websites for companies, and I have always stressed the need to add fresh content. The method for regular updates I have suggested is the use of ‘newsletters’.

It appears that the secret is to click on the ‘publish’ button… oooppppssss…..

The beginning…

Why a weblog?

Well, I thought it would be an interesting way to keep a record of work on programs at MMISoftware and to keep users informed of current work and future developments.

Last week saw updates to all the software produced by MMISoftware. Some of the updates were a as a result of recent changes in 10.3 which ‘introduced’ a number of ‘bugs’ in JPEGCleaner, quickWebAlbum, webSiteCleaner, and Web Photos. Interestingly the bug was the same in all programs and just needed the movement of one line of code! Whilst updating the other programs Power on X was also re-compiled.

Meanwhile, work was finished on iCalMaker version 1.5. This update addressed some Panther compatibility issues and introduced a raft of new features…
