Fixing LED light interference with your Cycling Computer
by
I wrote not long ago about the items you really need to train and judge the results of your training. As I mentioned then both my cycling computer and my heart rate monitor seemed to choose when to work. So I called Sigma to ask about the computer not working. I’ll totally admit that part…
WP e-Commerce Drag and Drop Sorting Bug
by
Today we’ll look at a bug (yeah another one) in WP e-Commerce that deals with ajax product sorting. The short story is that if you use the drag and drop sorting of products while viewing all categories you’re screwed. Yeah that’s right you’ll get duplicate products and not all of the products will show up.…
WP e-Commerce – A Theme Developers Nightmare
by

WordPress Taxonomy Images Plugin
by
Custom Taxonomies are awesome in WordPress but unfortunately most of the ‘solutions’ to various problems deal only with categories or tags still. Recently I had to add an image to my custom taxonomies and @_mfields again had a plugin that solved my problem. Unfortunately there was one little ‘gotcha’ with the plugin which we’ll go…
The Weigh In
by
For the 2 people that actually read this, you’ll notice I’ve been silent for a bit. We recently spent 6 weeks in Ontario and I was unable to fit my stationary trainer in the car so the bike was left in BC. This means I spent 6 weeks with little/no physical activity. Sure I got…
Using stripslashes() with Theme Options

While working with custom post types I’ve found the need a few times to search only within the custom post type. A great example would be on a list of community resources.
