Netherlands beat England

Posted in Sports on June 6th, 2009 by chiefbass – Be the first to comment

Not really a thrashing, but something spectacular. The garden shed Netherlands cricket team beat the English at their most beloved of grounds, Lords.

The last few minutes was amazing, with mister Broad losing the game almost single handedly.

The T20 World Cup is set to be full of surprises. I would like to applaud England on a unorthodox, but seemingly perfect opening ceremony.

IE Feed Error Fix for WP

Posted in Blogging on June 3rd, 2009 by Icd – 1 Comment

I had some troubles with my feed not displaying in IE. I voiced my problems in this post. It also includes some of the other types of feed fixes. They unfortunately didn’t work for me.

I decided to do a quick feed validation here : http://feedvalidator.org/

They discoverd an error and shockingly enough it was actually a post I did a bit earlier. Nothing special about the post, so I just unpublished it and voila! A working feed.

So I would recommend doing a validation and then read exactly what they say. If they for example mention a post or a plugin, just deactivate it and see if it works.

Goodluck.

Rss feed not working in Internet Explorer

Posted in Blogging, Tutorials on June 3rd, 2009 by Icd – 1 Comment

I normally use Firefox so I never knew of this problem and I don’t know how long it’s been there.

When I try to view my Feed in IE I get this error:

Internet explored cannot display this feed.

This feed contains errors.

Under more information I get this :

A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found.
 Line: 253 Character: 17

I did some Googling and noticed that a few people expierienced the same error. I tried all the fixes:

1. Remove blank lines after starting and ending tags.

   I downloaded Fix Rss Feed. It found 1339 out of place blank lines and fixed it. Feed still not working.

2. XML Parsing

   Did a quick validation of my feed and got a few errors. Was told to use LibXml2 Fix.

3. Problem with IE:

 Tried to fix IE and not WP.

Steps :

1. Press “alt” key when in IE7 if you don’t have “Menu Bar” always visible and then click on “Tools/Internet Options”
2. Activate “Advanced” tab
3. in the “Settings” box scroll down to the “Security” section
4. uncheck “Enable native XMLHTTP support”
5. hit “Apply” button and restart IE7

If anyone could help me out please do so! I know some other people with the same problem.

Note: Feeds work perfectly in Firefox, Opera and Chrome, just not IE. It seems to be IE not accepting XML with any errors. So they say.

Update: I got the fix. View it here.

Tip:  When you have a problem like this, never go all out and start changing random things. This is how you I messed up my frontpage.

The Unwritten Truth

Posted in Lifestyle on June 2nd, 2009 by Yeti – Be the first to comment

abstract Warning: Adult Language, Very colorful.

 The unwritten truth…

 

Standing on the edge and breathing in the night air looking from my ivory tower down at the city lights. Laughing silently at the masses, trying to cope, trying to find the meaning for there everyday life. Yes, I cherish myself in my own glory while a step into a upper class home, I pull down her Gucci jeans, lose my Armani shirt and yet again perform the task of meaningless “hot-model sex”. Materialistic sex, I don’t fuck because I want to, I fuck because I can. Popping one “Maximor” after another cause the thought of this materialistic world causes something inside me, causes my point of view to see the “here and now” as an illusion, a sight for vomiting. Impotent thoughts, thoughts of despair and thoughts for the masses dealing with something worse…or is it? Is my life the same? It is, only with different characteristics, we as people are chasing the same goal.

Where does one find love in this world? Is it an obscure thing that gets tossed around in the urban jungle? Or is it a mythical feeling? Love is a feeling that everybody is searching for, that feeling, that task, to find that one special person, that one true love. I found my true love, well, that’s what she said to me right before I saw her sucking a cock that wasn’t mine. Turns out that wasn’t exactly true love. Well, shit happens. I find comfort in the fact that I can’t blame myself, I blame materialism, feminism, Marxism, and of course the female orgasm. To think about it all words ending with an “ism” represent the demon of the 21st century. Cosmopolitanism? Glamourism? Guccism? Paris Hiltonism? What the fuckism?

It’s time to change, change back or change direction, but certainly not the way we are currently pursuing. Before you fuck next time, before you randomly kiss that girl, before you swallow that cum be more constructive. Materialism, “sexualism” is only satisfying on a short term basis. Pursue something that’s a mission chasing and I guarantee you the reward will be long lasting. Even if one just starts on a small scale, pursue your dreams and happiness will find you.
