Seagull: Unable to load schema for database and table

I just copied a Seagull project I created a while back to a new development server to do some testing. Copying the www.mydomain.conf.php to localhost.conf.php and changing the database settings to connect to my local database resulted in this when trying to log in: DataObjects_Usr: ERROR: Unable to load schema for database and table (turn debugging up to 5 for full error message) DB_DataObject Error: Unable to load schema for database and table (turn debugging up to 5 for full error message) Well, turns out it was my the problem was that I had renamed my database.

Someone messed up Firefox Download Day 2008

I just got this e-mail: Great! – I thought. I enjoy making history. So I click the link, and what do I see … Notice the <<<< .mine === etc.?

Ok, this post had some info about switching to ExpressionEngine since WP was so insecure. It turns out my WP install was hacked and the content here was replaced by lots of spam links. I don’t know how to get the content back (unless it was indexed somewhere, took a quick google but didn’t find anything) .. Oh, the irony.

Invision Power Board forum bridge

This is a script we use on the norwegian community root.no to show the latest messages from our IPB forum in our WordPress blog template. I already published this on my norwegian blog so I figgured I’d do the english speaking world a favor and publish it here as well in case someone was searching for “Invision Power Board forum bridge” and found the norwegian language one ;-) The script can be downloaded here.

Exporting s9y to MT

When I wanted the skitX blog converted from Serendipity to ExpressionEngine I asked around for an MT Export script for s9y. There was none, so I decided to create it for myself. For those of you who don’t know, MT stands for Movable Type and is SixApart‘s blogsystem. It’s a pretty simple plain-text format which many blogsystems (like for instance EE) can do an import from. I used the format description found here.
