and now, for something completely different…

in search for an integration of my flickr sets into my homepage i came across FAlbum, a wordpress plugin that does exactly what i was looking for. not only that, it also looks great and seems to work well. i had a little trouble at first, but i figured out that i messed up my rewrite rules and used an already taken name. now that the folder is called “flickr”, everything works.

so if you don’t want to head over to flickr to watch my photos, now you can do it directly on my site!

instantly love it! it even displays the flickr comments!

xampp, apache, php, wordpress..

i’ve been secretly building up a wordpress blog that works like my current software since i want to change my host in the near future, but since asp hosting is far from being cheap, i am looking for a php webhost. problem: i never used php and apache before, i was always more of an microsoft guy (asp, visual studio and so on).

but i had no problems in adapting a wordpress template and hacking version 2.3 to fit my needs… will be launched soon i guess.

now today, apache didn’t want to start. no listening sockets available, shutting down.

i already disabled my MS IIS, but that didn’t help. so i searched the net, didn’t find anything helpful until i read this on the selfhtml forum:

“Xampp / Apache hat Probleme mit Skype. Kaum war es aus funzt alles.”
“Xampp / Apache has problems with SKype. As soon as i closed it, everything worked.”

so i closed skype.
apache started.

wtf… :D
