So I’m sure I’m not the only one who is extremely frustrated by all links that I click from Twhirl opening in Internet Explorer, even though I have Firefox set as my default browser.
It turns out this is some little quirk between Vista and Air, but it is fixable if you follow these steps:
Step 1:
Open Default Programs from the start menu.
Step 2:
Choose “Set Program Access and Computer Defaults”
Step 3:
Click Custom, then choose Mozilla Firefox (or whatever your default browser is) and click ok.
And now you are done

Just tried to change my name on facebook and before it gave me this:

No wonder it hasn’t been taken over by the deviants yet.

I have upgraded to WP2.3 – so far so good.
As this blog is pretty young, there were no fancy plugins to convert so it was smoooth sailing.
I tagged this post just to see how it would feel.
In the spirit of change, new layout too!

I need to do a Google search for: the [everything] shop, for a client.
By this, I mean I wanted it to return all results that were ‘the … shop’ it could find.
I thought I’d look up an advanced google search tips site and see if it could help me out.
The first two I found, didn’t, so I thought I’d have a go on my own and it turned out to be simpler than I thought.
“The * Shop” (quotes included, of course) returned the results I wanted, but only with one word between the and shop.
I tried “The ** Shop” and got results with two words between the and shop.
I’m not exactly sure how I would have gone about this if this stab didn’t work, but it did and the client is again happy.
