Update Copyright Date Year in Drupal Footer
Mon, 2009/01/12 - 20:33 | 
phil The new year came and went and I was stuck with the annoying task of updating the copyright year in the footer of about 15 different Drupal websites. A long time ago, (When 2008 rolled around) I had tried entering some custom PHP code into Drupal's "site information -> footer" area and quickly found that the drupal site information footer won't accept anything except plain text :( So, I was forced to manually update the sites individually which wasn't a big deal then because I only had to update the copyright date year on about 5 websites.
Windows XP usbaudio.sys on Window Vista
Fri, 2008/09/12 - 23:40 | phil I recently decided to update a laptop I have, to Windows Vista. It is a bit of an older laptop, but fully capable of handling Vista. With it being an older laptop, I have an issue with the internal sound card where it just flat out doesn't work any more... (rare, but not unheard of) I read somewhere that on the particular model I have, plugging in an external set of speakers, can 'fry' the sound card if there is any static on the stereo jack... I don't know how 'true' that is, but whatever, the sound doesn't work.

Wed, 2008/05/28 - 02:04 | phil I have two Linksys WRT54GL wireless routers setup at the house running DD-WRT, with one running as the main internet / wireless router and the other is used for extending the wireless signal by using WDS. I've never been very pleased with the performance of the WDS and I've read that WDS isn't the most efficient way to go... DD-WRT v24 was recently released and with it came a much more stable way of repeating the wireless signal through a repeater bridge function of the router.
