There Is No Such Thing As WordPress 2.6.4

Some of you may have read my feature article on the Ten great new features of WordPress 2.7 in which I take a look at the new features. We’ve only got a few more days until the stable release date, in the mean time if you’d like to read a few more reviews take a look at the official WordPress 2.7 blog and the Download Squad. For those of you interested in the new editing screen, take a look at the article  Customizable Post Editing Screen.

In related news, there’s been a fake version of WordPresz released on the market which malicious code. Make sure when you download WordPress you do it from the official website only (http://www.wordpress.org), when in doubt double check. Crunchgear has an article on the subject as well. Remember, there Is No Such Thing As WordPress 2.6.4.

Adobe Master Collection Install Failure (Mac)

While installing the Adobe Master Collection CS3 for the Mac I got all the way though the first disc and then a blank window popped up, stopping the installer dead. The error, a single blank window where it should be asking for disc two is a fairly common one apparently and is caused by a conflict between Safari 3.x Beta and the Master Collection installer. Now the good news, it’s a painfully easy fix.

First, you have to completely uninstall the Master Collection that you’ve installed so far. You can do this by going to ~/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Once done, reboot your Mac.

Second, you have to remove Safari 3.0 Beta from your Mac. You can do this by downloading the installer from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ and using the uninstall option. Before you do, be sure to copy your bookmarks etc. from ~/username/Library/Safari if you want to save your bookmarks. Once again, reboot your Mac.

Now, once you’re rebooted you are free to install the Master Collection and it will prompt you for disc two as anticipated.

If you want at this point, you can restore Safari 3.0 Beta by installing it.
