In the last two parts (Part 1 and Part 2) of using WordPress and the .html extension in permalinks, I’ve outlined the pros and the cons. Well, after a lot of testing, I’ve found a reason why you should probably avoid it.
When adding .html to the end of permalinks, the post slug behavior is changed. [...]

So, WordPress 2.3.2 came out tonight, and the site has already been updated. But, it did remind me to write about WordPress permalink structure.
WordPress has great permalink structuring, but you can make it even better. You can customize it to your needs, and what you’re site is using WordPress for.
Right now, ChristopherPrice.net uses the “default [...]

Yes, I know it’s Christmas… but there’s one great app for Windows that hasn’t been updated in awhile. And, as a Christmas gift, it has been updated once again. PDFCreator creates a virtual printer that generates a PDF. No Adobe Anything required.
I haven’t taken a look yet at the change list for 0.9.5, and I’m [...]

Apple today pushed out Security Update 2007-009… again. Version 1.1 apparently fixes some issues with the initial release. Apple won’t say what, but you should re-download and re-update, even if you have installed the original update.
Tune-Up Updated

I wrote this before going on break, but didn’t have time to finish it, and publish. Since drafting this, many others have come to similar conclusions….
I know, it sounds odd, but that’s exactly what Microsoft plans to do with Vista SP1. Vista SP1, in its final form, is set to allow people to install Windows [...]

Today, I’ve rolled out the Mac OS Tune-Up, which is a collection of every Mac OS Software Update, as well as updates for software bundled for Mac, such as iLife.
The goal of the tune-up is to allow you to copy all the available Mac OS software updates to a flash drive, DVD, or even an [...]

Apple Software Update now lists QuickTime 7.3.1 and GarageBand 4.1.1. Looks like the QuickTime update fixes that nasty RTSP exploit that was demonstrated on Second Life. Update away!

For some weird reason, Leopard ships with HP AiO 4.0, while HP AiO 4.0.1 has been available since October.
Even weirder, some Leopard systems pick up the update when running Apple Software Update, while some don’t. And, that’s even taking into account an HP all-in-one printer added to the systems.
Finally, weirdest, Apple doesn’t offer a direct [...]

Seems to be a codec-filled day… First Xbox 360 adds DivX, then Adobe Flash adds H.264… now DivX has updated DivX for Windows to version 6.8. Run the Check for Updates… app in the DivX menu to grab it if you’ve already installed.

A lot of people are going to start flaring their arms up about Flash adding H.264 today. I think it’s a good thing, you should all head to Adobe.com and update right now. Competition is always good… well, except when your “competitor” sends you a letter saying that if you don’t pull the plug on [...]
