Since the release of PingPressFM 2.2.0 last week, over 500 copies of plugin have been downloaded. From that group only a handful of people are having problems. And most of those people can fix the problem by upgrading from PHP 4 to PHP 5. How does one know they need to upgrade? Well, if you see a blank screen when you visit the plugin's settings page: upgrade.

Let me segue way for a moment on the topic of PHP 5 with an important announcement: YOU SHOULD HAVE UPGRADED TO PHP 5 LAST YEAR. FUD aside, there is a better reason you should upgrade soon. December of last year, the developers of PHP 4 ceased their development of PHP 4 entirely. And this last August, they submitted the last security path to 4.4.9. If your host hasn't upgraded request them to do so. But if they haven't by now, I would seriously consider switching to a host that doesn't suck that much.

Back to PingPressFM. (more...)

Long story short, if you use NSURLConnection in order to send a GET/POST request, it will not activate the EDGE network if a wireless connection is not present. Google is practically useless in discovering how to activate the EDGE network specifically. The answer is retarded, but thankfully simple. (more...)

An accident deleted the site's root folder. I'm not happy about it, but I will be able to recover the posts with a little work.
