How To Fix Wordpress Error “Unable to create directory” and/or “Is its parent directory writable by the server?”.
So I moved a Wordpress blog from a Windows IIS install over to an Apple OS X 10.6 Apache install and ran into a couple of errors when trying to upload images via the Wordpress media manager. First error was the “Unable to create directory” message and it basically came down to the setting under Miscellaneous config screen had migrated the Windows IIS C:\… path setting. So by changing that to “wp-content/uploads” resolved the first error message.

So much to my surprise when I went to purchase an additional copy of COD Modern Warfare 2 from Amazon.com that it automatically set my quantity to zero as they only allow you to purchase three copies. This wasn’t all at the same time either, I had purchase three copies on three different occasions and on the fourth is when I received the following screen message.

HandBrake has a new, much improved compilation system, which allows easy 64-bit and parallel builds, as well as providing easy extendability for future improvements to the application. 64-bit builds tend to perform approximately 10% better than their 32-bit brethren. There is no Snow Leopard magic here: the performance gains can also be realized on Intel Macs running 10.5, as well as Linux systems.

So why is it always such a pain in the @!# to keep track of Employee Attendance? Something that seems like it should be so easy becomes a royal pain and a huge time waster. I feel its also an area ripe for abuse, as some employees seem to figure out the game of how to take time off without it getting recorded for one reason or another. Whether its the way they submit the request for time off or who they submit the request to, that it just does not get deducted from the bank of accrued time off.

Chances are you have a lot of important stuff on your computer like financial documents, email, digital photos, music and more. Unfortunately, computers are vulnerable to hard drive crashes, virus attacks, theft and natural disasters, which can erase everything in an instant.
Current statistics show that one in every ten hard drives fail each year. The cost of recovering a failed hard drive can exceed $7,500, and success is never guaranteed.

So, since I didn’t really want the Undertow freebie that Microsoft offered to it’s XBox Live Gold Subscribers to make up for the downtime, I thought I would give a call and see if I could get a refund for the downtime or at least get Microsoft to extend my 2 Xbox Live accounts for an additional month. I paid for this service and Microsoft failed to provide the service I paid for. Makes sense to me, but I guess not to the Microsoft representative and supervisor I spoke with.

So I was attempting to install Microsoft DPM 2007 on a fresh Windows 2003 R2 X64 Server Machine and everything look like it was working fine until I would get to the actual installation part (after all pre-requisites had been met) and I would prompt me for my Windows install CD and it was trying to find convlog.ex_ and no matter what I did, even pointing it to the convlog.ex_ file it would bomb out with error 810. What it ended up being was that after the OS install I had added IIS via add/remove programs, windows components and browsed out via a UNC to where I had a Windows 2003 R2 X64 install CD mounted. So even though IIS installed fine this way, when I ran the DPM install it was looking for the original drive letter that was used for the OS install, in this case Drive Letter D:. So since I was doing this install remote, I changed my CD drive letter of the physical CD drive from D: to another unused drive letter. Then using MagicDisc, I mounted an ISO for the Windows 2003 R2 X64 OS CD to Drive letter D:. I then uninstalled IIS using add/remove programs, once this was uninstalled I re-ran the MS DPM 2007 install this time it automatically installed IIS during the install procedure with out prompting me for my OS install CD.

I have been more than frustrated today with Dreamweaver CS3 crashing on me. So, I thought back to anything new I may have installed on my machine over the last few days, and about what changes have happened that might have caused some sort of change. I also copied my site files over to my mac, but could not recreate the problem.
While there was a major change over the weekend, I kept thinking to myself that there is no way this is related to the time change. Computers are beyond the point where a simple time change can cause havoc like this, right?
FALSE
It appears that Dreamweaver doesn’t like the Daylight Savings Time change very much. According to an article on Adobe’s site, which strangely enough was just updated today, when you select certain lines of code while in code view in PHP or ASP sites, you may experience crashes. Keep reading for steps on how to solve this issue.
