bird photos

These are some unretouched photos I took of a hummingbird and woodpecker at the family cabin.

Updated: I “stalked” the hummingbirds for quite awhile but, each time I put my camera away they would show up again. There were two that continuously taunted me. Patience pays off though and I got several shots of one of the hummingbirds and bonus pics of the woodpecker.

wordpress unauthenticated administrator password reset – 2.8.3

There is a security flaw in WordPress 2.8.3 which allows the admin password to be reset via a browser GET request. This will temporarily lock out admins from their site. It is a flaw in the password reset function of wp-login.php. It can only reset the admin account and cannot be used to break into the system. In other words, an inconvenience, not a threat.

To temporarily fix this until it is patched by the WP developers change line 190 in wp-login.php from:

if ( empty( $key ) )

to:

if ( empty( $key ) || is_array( $key ) )

A good write-up of the situation can be found here at H-Online.com. If you find yourself already locked out of your system, there is a script available from codex.wordpress.org: Using the Emergency Password Reset Script

Let’s stay safe out there…

funny tweets

OK, I love sarcastic humor and because I love Twitter, twitter.threadless.com is a new favorite hangout of mine. The following tweets just struck me as funny and several are already on t-shirts. Consider this one big RT :) :

  • @sween You say I’m coloring outside the lines. I say I’m making new lines.
  • @MyFrappaccino When God gives you melons, you know you’re dyslexic.
  • @Martiandrivein Twitter: Where it’s @
  • @hannaheartbrake If guns kill people, then spoons make people fat.
  • @leahclifford Can’t wait for the day I wake and all the trending topics on Twitter are zombie related. Because I’ll know what it means. And I’ll be ready.
  • @Khanvict23 If you give a person a fish you feed them for a day, teach a person to use Twitter and they won’t bother you for weeks.
  • @SdotFOSTER I’ve never seen anyone’s death certificate suggest the cause of death was breaking a chain letter…
  • @miconian There are people I want to unfollow who aren’t even on Twitter.
  • @moorsee Dance like nobody’s watching. Tweet like nobody’s following.
  • @secretsquirrel Life would be easier if you could mark people as spam.
  • @jdtatum No one has twittered in 6 minutes. I can only assume that all of my friends are dead.
  • @cleversimon I’m with @stupid.
  • @Tony_D Sadly, my day requires pants.
  • @nintechno I wish I could CTRL+ALT+DEL people.
  • @GaryJBusey I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by fleeing the scene of an accident.
  • @Khanvict23 Wondering if its cool in China to get English words tattooed on their arms.
  • @nodabear89 It’s not @you…it’s @me
  • @IamMPB I’d damn you to hell, but I work there and don’t want to see you 5 days a week.
  • @Skittle_Brains I always misread “Marital Status” as “Martial Status” on forms. Which confuses me even more when there isn’t a “Ninja” check box.
  • @Nottabadword I’m consistent, just not all the time.

avocado/tomato sandwich

I’m craving one of my favorite summer sandwiches: avocado/tomato in a pita. It’s really easy…

  • ½ of a ripe avocado sliced or mashed (slice the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the yummy goodness)
  • ½ of a Roma tomato sliced (I sometimes will slice up grape tomatoes for a little extra sweetness)
  • 1 pocket pita
  • 1 tsp. Italian dressing

Slice the pita in half and place the avocado and tomato inside of it. Drizzle the Italian dressing over the avocado and tomato. Eat! Enjoy! Go back for seconds :)

Don’t ask me how many calories but, if you like avocado and you like tomatoes, you’ll love this and you won’t care. :)

Updated: I forgot to mention that if you don’t want to go the entirely vegetarian route, it is also great with either sliced turkey or bacon or both!
