I don’t know why Sun has such as slow pace of Java releases. You go to one page, and they say Java 6 Update 5 is the latest. But, do a bit more digging, and I found Update 6. So, go to this page, and scroll down to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) download (there […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
