I stumbled across this site, that is great.  Its just a site that lists all the information about a really bad travel agency that we tried to use to get airline tickets.  So here is a link to the info about this crappy company.

Check this out.  This is a site about the scams we faced when dealing with, lastminutetickets.net.  They now appear as they are doing business as http://www.lowest-ticket.com/ & http://lowestfares.travel.  Be warned of these companies as they are no good.

Wordpress & PhpGedView

I am slowly working on this module to allow wordpress and phpgedview, which is the genealogy software that I use on my sites, to be linked together.  I met this guy online who has been working with me on the process.  The plugin is going to be called WPPGV, but we keep having problems with the code because both Wordpress and PhpGedview have a php method that is named the same.  The biggest problem that I see is that the one is wordpress is deprecated, so I am tring to determine how to turn off that procedure that is deprecated.  Any one have any ideas.

I know that I could go in a modify the code, but I don’t want to do that.  i mean, how could I do it without modifying the Wordpress code?  Any ideas?

For work I connect to all sorts of Oracle Databases, so we have been using a tool called SQL Developer, it is a java based app, released by Oracle. I had to do this class the other day, to share tips and tricks that I have found using SQL Developer with my co-workers. It was an entertaining class, but one thing that I noticed while they were asking questions, was that I didn’t have the latest version of the software. SO I got the new version and when to start using it and noticed that I was missing all my connections, so I did a little google search, and found this site, and this article, that helped, so I thought I would post it as a place I found useful information
