I was banned from WordPress today, and that’s a good way to begin this post :)

I took me 3 days, 1 WordPress bug and a few programmers getting pixxed off enough to ban me, as all the previous times that I insinuated there was an issue in WP core. But it was worth it.

You’ll see: Some people like to offer help ( like in forums )  under their conditions, that even happens to me sometimes, but when that person ALSO has the POWER to moderate the forums AND is the one others will blame to when the bug comes up to light, their conditions include “or else”. For me all that only seconds “solve and help”.

Anyway, the price I paid is less than what you’d pay if you hired someone to fix it for you. This can’t be fixed by any canonical plugin so understanding this WordPress bug will save you a few bucks… and and will make SEO and WordPress devs hate you! hehe (more…)

Subversion GUIs are not made for Mac users, yet.

I mean, we, Mac users, are used to friendly interfaces, which don’t require more than 10% of knowledge about the system/mechanics behind we are dealing with. That 10% (or less, please!) is what we expect to be in the documentation, and today’s internet-age users would like to be one page long at most.

Unfortunately, SVN apps (clients?) documentation are STILL several pages long, and although I’m sure our issue is user-related, if such documentation is that long, that’s not a user anymore, but a slave.

For all of you, like me, who like Apple-style easy apps (more…)

I released my new Plugin to showcase your Facebook photo albums to WordPress, with a nice animated interface using jQuery, not flash, so your get rid of another bag of flash :)

Here’s a Live demo which looks like the image below:

Here’s the official page for Darkroom facebook photo gallery where you can comment and get help:

After 2 previous times when they told me “there’s nothing wrong”, I finally got a ‘secretary’ (yes, the ones who answer your call are not real cutomer reps, since they can just access the online help you can see yourself, and the real help is behind them) who was lucky to find someone willing to really test what I said.

The other times they even told me “we just placed a php script and it sent us mail fine” (I have no proof of that since it didn’t go to me, nor they gave me a copy of the script used)

This time, Godaddy ADMITED they were able to replicate the issue. Same issue that I asked them for in my last call, a month ago, when I read about somebody saying the php files were corrupt.

So their solution now is to UPDATE the files, and they can’t do it! So they sent me the instructions to do it by hand.

This post should be 3 posts but for lack of time, I’ll give it to you all in one:

  1. Why your embedded Prezi presentation looks different than in their servers.
  2. How to fix it with the only solution in the market (as of September 2011)
  3. How to fix missing files if your Prezi is not in the same folder as your html.

Your embedded presentation looks different than the one hosted at Prezi community

What you embed in your website is not your presentation, but a player, which calls your presentation from Prezi servers. They won’t tell you the player used for presentations hosted externally (your server) is a degraded version, which will show you a low-resolution version until clicked, to save bandwith in their servers, and a GIANT presentation name, so it looks better in their “Explore” page listings. So they have their reasons, and you are stuck with a Prezi presentation in which you invested hours or days and now it doesn’t match your sleek design.

Este artículo se podría llamar tambien “Como sus truquitos de posicionamiento web benefician nuestros servicios de internet marketing” (y al final de este artículo “como saber si Ud será el próximo afectado”)

Hay un montón de artículos por ahi, acerca de porqué “black hat SEO” (truquitos de posicionamiento web) dañarán su presencia web, pero éste va directamente a las pruebas mas definitivas.

¿Dónde se puede poner el medidor para estar seguro que es la prueba definitiva, final, de que han habido daños a su presencia en la web? ¿En los libros de balance? ¿En la cuenta de adwords? Piense en algo mas lejos…

Nuestro signo es el más lejano que pueda encontrar, en la cadena de eventos desafortunados: (more…)

Ver en iPhone

Después de luchar con Movistar (ver artículo anterior IPhone4 with “no data” issue) por los repetidos problemas de la red de datos “No cellular data network found” y otros como “Safari is not connected to internet” (“No se encontró una red de datos celular” o “Safari no está conectado a internet”) finalmente encontré una solución, y vino de la mano de Apple. Claro que no la hubiera encontrado si no hubiera usado previamente otra opción extra-oficial que hacía lo mismo, pero aparentemente Apple vió el problema ocurriendo incluso usando el operador “oficial”.

En Argentina, la configuración para Movistar (Movistar-ar) provista en el iPhone de fábrica, lo que le llaman el “bundle” (Movistar-ar.bundle) trae la configuración correcta, pero por razones extrañas el IPhone no la toma si no se ponen a mano, como si el “bundle” o el operador no existieran.

La solución, no es tan fácil para alguien que sólo quiere soluciones. Hay que instalar un programa en Mac o Windows, crear una nueva configuración, poner los datos de APN provistos por Movistar (me dieron datos distintos en distintas ocasiones), enviar el archivo por email a una cuenta activa en el iPhone4 en cuestión, abrir el attachment… (more…)
