I have found a couple more plugins that are supposed to display scripts in posts well. As I am sure you have seen, sometimes I have to put scripts in the forums and link to them because they tend to get mangled and not displayed correctly in posts. I am going to try some of these new plugins and see if we can get to keeping scripts and source code related to a particular post, in that post! Stay tuned …

Network Tools Are Online
I am always thinking about ways that I can not only improve the site here, but also ways that I can provide something useful to visitors. Along those lines, I decided to put some network tools online fo visitors to use. You never know when you might need to ping or trace something from an outside source when troubleshooting a problem. There is also a Whois option, and even one to show the IP address that we see you coming from. That’s useful when trying to configure IP based access somewhere. I’ll be refining the tools and working to add more and improve the existing tools as time moves on. Let me know what you think, if you have any problems with them or suggestions, hit the contact link and drop me a line. Now, go check ’em out!
Solaris Reference added to the download section
For anyone who found the Solarum Solaris reference handy, and would like a portable copy, I split it into columns and PDF’d it so it would make an easy download. Check it out in the downloads section.
Site Upgrade Complete
In case anyone out there using WordPress didn’t know, there’s a security update available bringing the current version up to 2.2.2. I just completed the upgrade for Solarum, as well as all the other WordPress sites that I host. So far it seems to have been a quick and painless upgrade that any of you affected ought to do in order to plug any potential security holes. Heads up!
Power-full Updates
For anyone that might be interested, I have posted a couple new articles tonight, inspired by the storms we have been having. Two articles, one about Surge Suppression and another about Battery Backup, where I explain what it is and why you need it. Head on over to the Library and check it out, you might just save your computers life!
