WordPress for Iphone: Incorrect username or password (fixed)

Nov 212010

While browsing the Apple Appstore I’ve noticed that there is an app that lets you administer your wordpress blog directly from the Iphone. I thought it could have been a good idea and then I installed it. Unfortunately this was exactly the time when the problems started. I have tried many times to configure the app to work with http://blog.braccini.info but there was no way. When configuring the app you have to fill in some forms with the URL of the blog, the username and the password. All the data were correct but I was always getting the same error: “Incorrect username or password“.

I’ve googled this problem a little bit and in the end I have found the solution.

Microsoft Office 2011 installer fails

Microsoft Office No Responses »

Nov 202010

I have downloaded the demo version of the latest version of Microsoft Office for Mac. I was curious to see which improvements Microsoft did make to the 2008 version of the office suite that was ok for daily work, but a step behind the 2007 version for Windows. Unfortunately I have run into a problem directly during the installation process. The installer executes itself correctly and, after having asked the position where to install the files, it eventually fail in the middle of the writing process with a generic message: “Installation failed“.

I have googled the error and did not find a proper solution but in the end I was able to fix it and to install it correctly. Continue reading »

Improved VM experience with Parallels 6

Apple, Mac OS X, Virtualization No Responses »

I have recently upgraded my copy of Parallels Desktop to v. 6. At first I had some problems with the virtual machine I was using quite regularly. It is a normal Windows XP based virtual machine that I use for Microsoft Office and for a trading platform. The virtual machine was not so young when I have installed Parallels 6 and, maybe this was the reason but, I have been experiencing lots of problems with it. All of a sudden it seemed to me that the virtual machine was using more CPU time. My MacBook Pro was continuously having over heating problems. All this was annoying me a little bit.

I don’t see the Google ads in my WordPress

Or wordpress keeps showing me ads from the Google public services. How many times did I run into these posts on websites or forums of users asking for help because they were not available to have Google Adsense installed and working in their wordpress blogs? And I have to admit that I also have fallen into this trap. I wanted to add Google Adsense ads to my blog but the more I was adding ads with different plugins the more Google was showing the ads of the public service or was not showing everything at all. For all of those that have encountered this problem I can now provide with my solution. Continue reading »

It has been a really longtime since the last time I have updated this blog. Probably those few visitors that have been browsing these pages could have thought that the website was abandoned. Indeed it was not. I have just had some technical problems with the software that I have been able to solve (magically) only today.
So expect some updates in the near future as I will probably be writing new posts regularly.

My Passport Studio – An HD for Time Machine

Apple, Mac OS X No Responses »

Dec 222009

Time Machine is a nice backup solution for Mac. For those of you who might not be acquainted with it, Time Machine records snapshots of your system periodically. For 24 hours, provided that your system is working, it will record hourly backups. For the last month it will record daily backups, while for the previous months it will record weekly backups. When the hard disk where Time Machine records its backup is full, old backups will be deleted. Continue reading »

If you are one among those who use, like me, LyX to write texts on a Mac and you have upgraded to the new release (Snow Leopard) of the Apple operating system, than you might have noticed that LyX does not work properly on this new version of the operating system.

The migration from http://www.braccini.info is now completed. You may now find all the articles that were published in my main website here. Since I had to import all of them from Joomla to WordPress, their date is, of course, not correct.

Come to visit again my blog in few days to read the new contents. Enjoy.
