One of the last places I expected to be was at a fashion show… but ended up at the Oslo Fashion Awards.
Theme was Love & Marriage because it fell on Valentine’s Day.
Interesting people there…

I have been doing a lot of searching on how to get an events list. Simple concept right and there should be a plugin right? Well, there are plenty of plug-ins. But due to the age of the tech on the host server, I was having a lot of trouble because the client’s host is still on PHP 4.# and mySQL 4.#… hey, it’s old!
Requirements:
- Event can span more than one day.
- Sort (3) events by those soonest to today’s date.
- If there are more than 3 events, show a link to View All Events
- Show mulit-day events – sort the list if the end date is before today’s date.
- Sort multi-day events by those soonest to today’s date, but if the start date has already past, still sort by that date or begin date.
- If the start and end year is the same, only display the year in the end date.
- If the start and end month is the same, only display month in the end date.
- List goes in sidebar.php
You know Lego does a lot of collabos, they even just released a Toy Story series (more on that later).
Being that it is winter and all, thought it appropriate to post some of their Lego – Empire Strikes Back items.
This was from set “7749 Echo Base“
Saw this article titled “As Toyota stumbles, schadenfreude lurks” and thought, “what the hell does schadenfreude mean?”
So, went and did a quick look up and found it on dictionary and, well, realized I don’t use that word enough, I forgot it way back when, or I am just dumb.
Either way, now you know so you can use it on a going-forward basis.
For those that are familiar with drifting you probably heard that Atsushi Kuroi passed away recently.
Besides watching him in Drift Club, Doriten and Option videos, I was able to actually meet and enjoy some meals together.
I remember Takatori telling me that he was “bully” and others explaining his sticker to me, “His name means black, but his car is yellow.”
Watching him try to take out Kazuya Bai at Meihan was such a good time, even for Bai.
So, for those that had the priviledge of spending more time with him and the honor of getting a ride along, consider yourselves lucky.
You will be missed, Cool Roy!
Online tribute at Nori Yaro.
I have a client that is international but they did not want/need to offer multuple lanugage content for the user, they would just write it accordingly.
But, they have various content writers from several countries so to ease use of Wordpress, they should have it in their preferred language. I found Kau-Boy’s Backend Localization Plugin.
I installed it and got an undefined error on line 175. Did some research and found out that one, the host the client is on is old! Two, the plugin used PHP 5 functions which due to the host, obviously doesn’t work. Same thing with the latest WP designed for MySQL 5+… Did I mention the host is old!!!
Anyways, on to the code. Solution after the break…
I thought all actual utensils on planes were now plastic. Forks, sporks, spoons and knives… especially on flights bound to the U.S.
Well, I guess a few airlines aren’t as concerned, like Luftansa. When you think about it, anything can almost be improvised into something – thanks MacGyver!
This actually makes sense. It’s more cost effective. Less environmental impact. And the utensils actually work without bending or breaking.
