Overclockers Online Internet Explorer CSS Update

Internet explorer users can finally browse Overclockers Online like regular FireFox users. A few bugs were corrected to improve load times and to get rid of the pesky notification claiming there’s an error on the page. I was also able to clean up the CSS so the text naturally aligns to the left. For the longest time the text was centered on the page and I had absolutely no idea why.

These problems were only apparent to our Internet Explorer readers, roughly 40% of our audience. I apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you and thank you for remaining a loyal reader.

Photomerge Posted Resolution Updated

A few people have asked that I increase the resolution of my panoramic photos in the Europe Trip 2008 Panoramic Photos (Photomerge) post.

I have re-scaled the images so the large files have a resolution of 1600 pixels. There’s still plenty of room for me to upscale to so if the demand is there then it will be done. Drop a me a message or leave a comment.

WordPress 2.3.2 Upgrade

WordPress has released an urgent security release that can expose draft posts. If you’re using 2.3.1, you should immediately do an upgrade. The process took me about 5 minutes, which most it was making a backup of the server, deleting the necessary files and uploading the new ones.

Additional changes to 2.3.2 include custom DB error page. Here’s a list of fixed bugs and the changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.

For Sale: Thermaltake Big Typhoon

Toted as one of the best coolers ever made. I know longer have all the mounting equipment. I’ve only ever used this for AMD 939/754 machines. I’m selling what you see in the photo. I’m not responsible if you buy it and attempt to use it on a S775 machine.
