Got tired of my ASP version of “pretty permalinks” which liked to screw up every few hours (don’t even know why, gg Microsoft) so decided to pay one last visit to the Wordpress Permalinks wiki page. Found something I totally didn’t expect :) A php version which so far is working beautifully! To use simply put the following in something like wp-404.php and stick it in the root of your blog. Then go into your control panel (or setup a .htaccess if you’re on *nix and permalinks aren’t working) to forward all 404 requests to that page. On Helm (and other control panels I’m guessing) it lets you choose between URL and File, choose URL as File is a littly iffy in my experience. Anyway, heres the code:

$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($qs, strpos($qs, ‘:80′)+3);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include(’index.php’);

NOTE: Wordpress is removing the < ? php and ? > code markings from this post so be sure to stick it before $qs and after index.php’);…Again, be sure to put < ? php (no spaces) before $qs and ? > (again no spaces) after index.php’);

Was doing my usual Digg thing this morning when I ran across something about Experts Exchange being removed from Google as it feeds the GoogleBot real content (questions and answers to technology related items) and fake–as in all answers are ROT-13 (lol?) encrypted…Where was I, oh yeah, so when going through the comments I ran across someone who posted something about “Cat” (http://nerdiphythesoul.com/blog/) who discovered the whole ROT-13 dealio…Well she had a pretty awesome website (Geek chick = HOT >< Don’t worry Cat, I know you’re taken :P) based on K2. So I decided to give K2 a try and well, I found it was pretty damned easy to modify it! So from here on out Ill be working on this NEW theme :) So far its going pretty well…Suggestions?

Hey, whatdya know…a new theme!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out today, already halfway through it :) Awesome book! In other news, I retract my comment about “that god damned piece of paper,” seems its a fake thats 2 years old. The change of the constitution is legit though, and quite recent.

Note to anyone who buys Costco Pizza (AWESOME!!!): Don’t be the last guy to buy it…They barely cook it and its made with leftover dough, so its not as thick as they usually are.

harry and *$&@( get MARRIED?! HOLY!!
