Wordpress Image Upload Problem

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I’ll be writing more on this is in the future but for now I just want to talk about custom installs of wordpress and a couple problems you may encounter when trying to upload images:

#1 Make sure the folder you have chosen to store your images in is writable. This should be the same for the whole folder. The file attributes on that folder should be 777 and recursed into all subdirectories.

#2 Make sure you’re uploading your files to the right place. This problem happens a lot when sites are being developed and moved to a different server, etc….. You can find where you’re storing your images under Settings > Miscellaneous > “Store uploads in this folder”. Kind of a tricky little spot to find that info.

Hope this helps someone.

You can’t fight the future

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I started reading this article this morning over coffee and found it fascinating and well written. I couldn’t find a link when I did a quick search but had to share part of it with you. Let me know if you find a link for it less you be a spammer:

“In Silicon Valley the world is divided into two kinds of people - those who “get it”, and those who don’t. The people who get it are the ones who understand that the Internet is the biggest thing that has ever happened in the history of the human race, a wave so huge and so powerful that the only way to cope with it is to jump on and hope to make money building a new world. Those who don’t get it are the ones who try to fight the Internet wave. Entire industries fit that description: movies, music, publishing, real estate, cable-TV providers, operators of mobile-phone networks - the list goes on.

Now, at the top of the list, goes China.

That is the message Google is sending this kerfuffle…..”

Where is Artificial Intelligence today?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

“Arguably, the best design for intelligence created to date remains the biological brain - and scientists are already looking into whether it will one day play a part in AI.”

Artificial intelligence: 55 years of research later - and where is AI now?
