In a couple of months I’m off on vacation to Australia for five weeks, and would really like to bring a laptop to be able to check the weather for the next few days, book interesting excursions a few days in advance, check email, upload travel photos to home server etc. My trusty old ThinkPad T41p (best laptop ever) has performed that job for several years, but its days as a holiday computer are numbered. I need a sub-notebook. Any will do, as long as it’s cheap, small, lightweight and has a battery capacity of 4-5 hours at least. Screen, keyboard and looks are secondary objectives. </p> 191<p> <a href="https://www.kolbu.com/2008/08/18/asus-eee-pc-901/#more-77" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry →</a></p> 192 </div> 193 194 <div class="tags"></div> 195 196<p class="postmeta"> 197 <span class="commr"><a href="https://www.kolbu.com/2008/08/18/asus-eee-pc-901/#respond">No Comments →</a></span> 198 </p> 199 </div> 200 <div class="post" id="post-69"> 201 <h2><a href="https://www.kolbu.com/2008/04/07/google-news-plugin/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Google News plugin">Google News plugin</a></h2> 202 <p class="meta"> 203 <span class="timr">April 07, 2008</span> 204 <span class="user">By: webmaster </span> 205 <span class="catr">Category: <a href="https://www.kolbu.com/category/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/" rel="category tag">WordPress Plugins</a></span> 206 </p> 207 <div class="entry"> 208 <p>Displays N first news items from a selectable Google News RSS feed, inline or as a widget.</p> 209<p>Google aggregates news from over 4500 news sources, updated continously.

Clicking on the thumbnail opens the correct NASA page for a larger image and accompanying text. The plugin now uses a NASA RSS feed for information. No local storage needed, the feed and image is fetched every time.

But I recommend waiting until there is a properly scripted upgrade path before you try unless you’re comfortable with MySQL restores and the occational PHP hacking to get a particular theme or plugin to work properly. Things have certainly changed under the hood, and quite a few addons need to be rewritten. Some of these rewrites are in the pipeline, so check out the WordPress codex for status.</p> 297<p>Since I was fiddling with the site anyway, I decided to go for a new theme as well. It required some code changes to work properly, for example a simple thing as showing comments on pages was missing. Easily added. I also fiddled with the look&feel, so it’s not really a clean Prosumer theme anymore. Not enough changes to warrant a rebadge and release though. Not entirely happy about the colour scheme either, so here today gone tomorrow. Leave a comment if you can recommend a great theme that not too many others use.</p> 298<p>Found some cool new plugins while updating. Like the Democracy Polls widget on the left, just below the ahem one click is enough Income widget.</p> 299<p>
299Another thing I found out about WordPress in the upgrade process was that there are quite a number of hard coded references to your web site url in the database. Not just the single config entry you’d expect. So if you want to fire up a copy of the site under another name to see how 2.5 worked without destroying your primary site, you need to dump the database, do a search & replace on the dump and then restore to the new location.</p> 300<p>The logo image is an umodified photo taken at low shutter speed in a tunnel, just cropped to show the interesting part. </p> 301 </div> 302 303 <div class="tags">Tags: <a href="https://www.kolbu.com/tag/wordpress/" rel="tag">WordPress</a></div> 304 305<p class="postmeta"> 306 <span class="commr"><a href="https://www.kolbu.com/2008/03/28/upgrading-to-wordpress-25/#respond">No Comments →</a></span> 307 </p> 308 </div> 309 <div class="post" id="post-58"> 310 <h2><a href="https://www.kolbu.com/2008/03/18/excessive-scsi-logging-under-ubuntu/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Excessive SCSI logging under Ubuntu">Excessive SCSI logging under Ubuntu</a></h2> 311 <p class="meta"> 312 <span class="timr">March 18, 2008</span> 313 <span class="user">By: webmaster </span> 314 <span class="catr">Category: <a href="https://www.kolbu.com/category/technology/tech-problems/" rel="category tag">Tech Problems</a>, <a href="https://www.kolbu.com/category/technology/ubuntu/" rel="category tag">Ubuntu</a></span> 315 </p> 316 <div class="entry"> 317 <p>For some natty reason, my 64bit Ubuntu 8.04 server sometimes insists that a SCSI logging level of infinite detail is good for my health.

If you used to be able to run X at high resolutions but all you can get after an upgrade is something like 1024×768 then it is likely that you have been caught by the clock check bug. You typically get lines like these in your Xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log):</p> 349<pre> 350(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1920x1200"; removing. 351(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1600x1200"; removing. 352</pre> 353<p>To get the X server to tell you exactly why it’s removing those two modes, try starting X with <b>-logverbose 6</b> as arguments, and it will log something like this instead:</p> 354<pre> 355 356 (II) NVIDIA(0): Validating Mode "1600x1200": 357 (II) NVIDIA(0): 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz 358 (II) NVIDIA(0): For use as DFP backend. 359 (II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Source: EDID 360 (II) NVIDIA(0): Pixel Clock : 162.00 MHz 361 (II) NVIDIA(0): HRes, HSyncStart : 1600, 1664 362 (II) NVIDIA(0): HSyncEnd, HTotal : 1856, 2160 363 (II) NVIDIA(0): VRes, VSyncStart : 1200, 1201 364 (II) NVIDIA(0): VSyncEnd, VTotal : 1204, 1250 365 (II) NVIDIA(0): H/V Polarity : +/+ 366 (WW) NVIDIA(0): Mode is rejected: PixelClock (162.0 MHz) too high for 367 (WW) NVIDIA(0): Display Device (Max: 150.0 MHz). 368</pre> 369<p>If this used to work for you, and all you did was upgrade Ubuntu (or some other distro), then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add the line</p> 370<pre> 371Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck" 372</pre> 373<p>inside either the Screen or the Device group. Restart X and it should start up in a higher mode again.
