WordPress “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance” after automatic upgrade?

dic 20 2009 Published by GipuntoE under News

briefly unavailable

During an automatic upgrade, WordPress places a file in the blog root directory called “.maintenance” to prevent visitors from being confronted with ugly, broken pages during the upgrade process. That’s a great little built-in feature, but if the upgrade gets interrupted or fails for any reason, that file doesn’t get deleted and nobody, including you, can access your blog. No worries, this is (most likely) the simplest fix on Earth.
All you have to do is delete the .maintenance file from the blog root directory.

business cardsQualche giorno fa la deliziosa Claudia di Liquid Sky Design ha lanciato un Contest: 500 business cards da vincere e portare a casa.
Bene! Ho vinto io (pura fortuna eh!). E adesso sono il felice possessore di 500 biglietti da visita della Overnight Prints, freschi freschi di stampa e appena consegnati dal corriere UPS.
Che dire oltre a un grosso GRAZIE a Claudia (e a Bobbi :) )?
Diro’ che il servizio di stampa e’ stato velocissimo, meno di una settimana, che i bigliettini sono ben rifilati e stampati su un cartoncino spesso, non come mi e’ capitato altre volte su carta velina :( che i colori e i caratteri sono “esattamente” come li volevo io (la foto non rende giustizia…), e… che consiglio vivamente di farvi un giro sul sito della Overnight Prints se avete bisogno di card!

How To Get Rid Of Blogging Stress

ott 26 2009 Published by GipuntoE under News

Stress can play a major role in a person getting heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes, anxiety attacks and a lot of other illnesses. People under a lot of stress tend to have weaker immune systems, thus becoming more susceptible to disease than people with normal amounts of stress. Often times people turn to alcohol, drugs, overeating, tobacco, and suicide because of stress. The fact is, stress kills.

MATT RICHTEL says on NYT :

A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment.

Of course, the bloggers can work elsewhere, and they profess a love of the nonstop action and perhaps the chance to create a global media outlet without a major up-front investment. At the same time, some are starting to wonder if something has gone very wrong. In the last few months, two among their ranks have died suddenly.

Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December.

Micheal Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch says on NYT:

“I haven’t died yet,” said Michael Arrington, the founder and co-editor of TechCrunch, a popular technology blog. The site has brought in millions in advertising revenue, but there has been a hefty cost. Mr. Arrington says he has gained 30 pounds in the last three years, developed a severe sleeping disorder and turned his home into an office for him and four employees. “At some point, I’ll have a nervous breakdown and be admitted to the hospital, or something else will happen.”

So this is not a miner problem but the negligence of this problem can cause many disorders and  interrupted functionally of the body.

Vivere senza rim[i]pianti

Hayden Panettiere tattoo

Se ne sarà accorta quando alcuni blogger hanno riconosciuto l’errore: la 19enne star americana, Hayden Panettiere, conosciuta al grande pubblico per il suo ruolo di Claire Bennet nel celebre seriel “Heroes“, ha esibito sul red carpet e sulla spiaggia di Cannes il suo nuovo tatuaggio impresso in bella vista sulla schiena.
Una frase in italiano, forse in onore delle origini della sua famiglia. Peccato che c’è scappato l’errore: «Vivere senza rimipianti». Esatto, il tatuatore ci ha messo erroneamente una “i” di troppo.

…un pò come quelli che sono convinti di avere tatuato – per davvero – il proprio nome in giapponese!
