Adding a photo to Technorati

I was about to upload a photo to my Technorati profile when I got this tip. Seems like they got fed up with people uploading a certain type of image. First laugh of the day!

WordPress 2.7

WordPress 2.7 has finally been made available for download for stand-alone installation. The developers have worked a lot with the admin interface in this version; and the result is, in my opinion, really nice! I’ve always liked the WordPress platform in itself; but the admin panel has been so-so. I strongly encourage you to check it out. You can do so by creating a free account at wordpress.com or by downloading it, also free, from wordpress.org/download if you’d like to install it on your own machine/server or at your hosting provider (WordPress requires PHP and a MySQL server to work).

DNS flush

All of the websites you visit get their domain resolved to get their IP address so you can actually connect to it, right?That information is stored locally in a cache. Then there is the occasions when you know the IP address of the server has changed but you still got the caches version. What to do? Flush the cache! The way to do this differs from OS to OS. Below I have mentioned how to do this on the most popular systems. If you know about how to do this on other systems feel free to leave a comment.:-)

Leopard: Open Terminal.app (search for it with Spotlight), then write on the command: dscacheutil -flushcache Voilá!
Tiger: Open Terminal.app (search for it with Spotlight), then write: lookupd -flushcache Voilá!
Windows: Click Start->Run. Type cmd into the text field, then write: ipconfig /flushdns Voilá!
Linux: Open your terminal or shell of choice and, run /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart Voilá!
