Bloons Tower Defense 4

OK, the latest game, from a wonderful creator, is packed with new towers a new BIG Bloon and new upgrades to an existing great game. After many days of playing and never giving much thought but the trick is to get multiple banana farms going. I was playing this on “easy”, but I will test out on “hard” after it finishes this game, being this high level lags out this computer anyways. After level 90 i actually sold banana farms because of the excess $$ with nothing to spend it on hardly.

WordPress and all its splendors

I unfortunately have not kept up with wordpress’s releases and of course had my wordpress hacked, as well as another customer. I don’t blog enough to notice when there is an update. However it seems this 2.8 version seems much better, and has even given me an easy way to create widgets which is what this post is going to test. I have rewritten and modified a plugin called WordPress Email Notification V2.3.1 by Brian Groce, his version has a flaw when you do not use a table prefix. I have also created a wp-email-form widget to handle the email future send and signup form. This will alleviate people having to “change” their theme. I also added a function test for email_notification_future_send which is a pain if you do NOT have that plugin activated.

Ubuntu 9.04 The VPN Connection failed because there were no valid secrets

After stressing on my laptop for an hour, then the next day wondering whats happening with this new install of Ubuntu and the addition of VPNC, well what solved the problem for me was to actually restart the system, why didn’t I try that before? I have never restarted “Linux” unless I had to before. After rebooting the errors disappeared and the VPN worked. Yes after all that pondering on the problem, a simple restart after the installation of VPNC solved the “no valid secrets” problem. I hope this bit of information helps someone out there that has come across this.
