• Rule #1 – Don’t fix things that are not broken.
• Rule #2 – Don’t fix things that they do not ask you to fix.

Until last week both of these rules applied.

We may be a little bit late to the Christmas party, but late is usually better than never. In this post we release a very compact, magazine-like theme designed especially for events such Christmas. We hope that the theme may be useful not only for this Christmas, but can also be used in general, for various purposes. This theme was designed by InstantShift as an exclusive Christmas gift for Smashing Magazine readers.

Christmas WordPress Theme For Free Download | Freebies | Smashing Magazine

A big thanks to the folks at Smashing Magazine and InstantShift for offering a free Christmas theme. The festive mood of the theme motivated me to embark on a web site conversion over the weekend. I had been meaning to switch our farm web site, www.legacyfarmltd.com, from phpWebsite to WordPress for several months but I always found a reason to not work on it. Installing WordPress 2.7 and the Christmas theme was almost effortless compared to the process of duplicating old posts and pages. It was nice that they included the PSD for the logo. I cranked up my portable copy of GIMP and after a few minutes of re-learning GIMP/PhotoShop I had a custom logo that fit the Christmas theme. Although I will have to change the theme in the next few weeks soon since Christmas is over, the theme layout and fonts look like a good base to work from.

At the place I am working our customer service representatives said they were getting a lot of customer complaints about order confirmation emails never arriving. I did a little pivot table analysis on the event log and found a lot of SMTP 4000 and 4006 warnings. The frequency of the errors started escalating on July 29th. The good news is that I had not applied any patches in that time frame. The 4006 warning message I was familiar with since I had fixed a naked line feed issue in June. The 4006 warning message also appears when a customer enters their email address incorrectly so I expect to see it in the event log but at low levels. The 4000 warning message was new and said “Unable to bind to the destination server in DNS”. The problem appeared to be intermittent since not all emails were failing. However when I ran NSLOOKUP on the web site for the mail server that appeared in the 4000 message, it failed. When I used NSLOOKUP on my workstation to look up that same server, it worked.  The DNS used by the web server was failing for a group of mail servers. The solution was very simple. Although both the ISP help desk and I thought the web site had local problems and needed a mid-day reboot, the help desk changed our domain name server. Based on their initial testing they did not think they had fixed the problem. I suspect they used ping to try and verify the mail server. Since a lot of people have turned off ping responses on their mail servers, I looked at the event log. I could see that the problem was probably fixed. The 4000 messages had disappeared completely and the mail queue was emptying. The 4006 messages went down to previous levels, too. In fact they are at a level slightly lower than I had noticed before the problem.

• Build a Generic Histogram Generator for SQL Server

  Histograms help people analyze large amounts of data, whether you display them as tables or as charts. This article shows you how to do both.

1. The Histogram Generator for SQL Server looks interesting but I think I will work on making pivot tables easier to use first.
2. I tried JkDefrag last week. I like the look and feel of the Auslogics defrag tool. JkDefragGUI makes JkDefrag a little easier to use and adds a few features. Both tools are nice upgrades to the standard defrag tool.
3. VirusTotal is a nice way to generate hashes for downloadable files.
4. I need to check Ratproxy out. Ultimately I would like to compare this to WebScarab. I need to read this Google document again and play with to figure out why Google re-invented the wheel.
5. Microsoft’s contribution to fight against SQL Injection would have been more appreciated if it worked for me. It did not generate a report for me. The program was more than willing to tell me that I did not have it configured properly. When I finally had it configured properly, the result is no report?!
6. PCI 6.6 is a mess. I am suspicious that the firewall option will ever be a cost effective solution for retail web servers. My first run at automated code analysis was inconclusive. I believe that low cost automated and manual code analysis are probably the best cost to benefit options.

Today I figured out that if I remove the wp_nonce stuff at the end of the line I could get the automatic upgrade plugin to continue. Wp_nonce is a security feature. I think it is primarily used with forms but it can be used with links. About the only source on this function is the Writing Secure WordPress Plugins post by David Kierznowski. I think when I have to log back into WordPress, wp_nonce thinks I am breaking in and slams the door shut. From a plugin design standpoint I am not sure there is a need for this type of security at this point since all I want to do is activate my plugins and get my log report. I guess I will comment out lines 392-394 so the plugin will work.

blogger.getUsersBlogs method received from the weblog server was invalid

After a little debugging I figured out I could get rid of the problem if I refreshed my account settings for the web sites with the new .htaccess file. I guess LiveWriter is picky about the web site URL.
