WordPress 2.9 was release somewhat recently and so like a good WP minion I logged into my site and clicked the update button. Error… uh oh. Apparently WordPress 2.9 requires a more recent version of MySQL (>= 4.1.2). My host installed MySQL 5 ages ago but I’ve never bothered with migrating to the new version [...]

My last post (Nike+ iPod : Cheap Fix For Failure) outlined a method whereby one could get around the premature end of workout due to water (sweat) damage for the iPod Nano and Nike+ Sensor setup.

I just attempted to login to My Mashable account and received the screen below. It looks like they are beta testing some new platform using Scalr, which is a cloud computing platform. I wonder if they’ll let me in the beta since I uncovered their plans to take over the world!? Hmmm?

<td rowspan="2">
<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&nbsp;</font>
<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&nbsp;</font>
</td>

I tried hitting Active.com today to check on some new Running articles and received the following error message. It’s nice that they tell you that they are too busy to service your request… I guess.

Let this be a warning to you. You must use your ThinkGeek points or you will lose them! I just happened to check mine this morning and I guess I don’t purchase often enough. Oh well.
