I bet you’ve found like I did, that everything was fine until you updated the system (like the good citizen you are) then every trace of a wireless adapter being present vanishes; don’t worry though, its not broken and is pretty easy to fix.

Gnome just fails at giving you any hint of whats wrong leaving you to to delve into the dmesg log to find the following:

ath9k_htc 1-3:1.0: ath9k_htc: Please upgrade to FW version 1.3

That’ll explain it!

Goto the following URL and download “htc_9271.fw”, then place it within “/lib/firmware/”:

Job done!

Selling An Image Hosting Domain

Another small auction again here for an old image hosting domain name that I’ve had for a good few years now.

I do in a way miss running the image hosting site, mainly as the amount of traffic it got when it was running and the money it made for the pretty much 0% effort I put in setting it up was great; with that said, it wasn’t something I was passionate about which is why it’s previous incarnation has been taken offline when I switched my hosting situation up a bit.

If you’re interested to know which advertising network I used I’d be happy to disclose via email.

Steve Jobs: Passed Away at 56

I was quite shocked to find out this evening that Steve Jobs had passed away due to ongoing health complications.

I don’t wish to discuss the in’s and out’s of his recent medical history, merely offer my condolences to his family and friends; I think the Apple corporate website tastefully delivered the news in a respectful and sympathetic manor.

Here’s a truly inspiring speech he made back in 2006 at the Stanford Commencement:

Rest in peace Steve.

Selling A WordPress Arcade Site

This is the last of my general arcade sites of which I no longer wish to run though I feel it’s too good to just terminate and let the domain expire.

I’m selling it on DigitalPoint this time instead of Flippa given the awful support I got from Flippa on my last website sale, plus it’s free and I think this site is best suited to the DigitalPoint marketplace.

Not too fussed what it goes for to be honest, I’d rather that than it be deleted.

Create An Options Panel For Your WordPress Theme

For a WordPress theme I’ve already created currently running on a small network of 20 sites, and for another network I’m about to create, I want each site to have a similar look and feel though some graphics, colours and of course text will need to change.

What’ll make things much easier is instead of having to crack open the editor for each site (talking in the region of 200 sites in my latest project) I can simply install the theme on WordPress MU and create an options panel which I can use on each instance to change things like header images, place Google Analytics code, AdSense code and other key aspects; all from the comfort of a single admin page within WordPress.

Job done, thank-you muchly.
