After installing Mozilla Firefox 2.0 I started getting message to restore the session or start a new session every time I have rebooted my machine. After a little looking at my configuration I realized that the problem comes from the Firefox Preloader I use for faster startup time of the browser. Since there is no option to disable the session store in the GUI, in order to avoid the problem I had to go to the about::config and create a new boolean variable browser.sessionstore.enabled with a value of false.
Yeeehaaaw. Now the annoying message is gone for good.

I’ve just installed the windows live writer, but it took me sometime to get it to work with my wordpress blog. It seems like it is the way I configured my blog …
My wordpres address is different than my blog address , i.e. I have installed wordpress in a sub folder and my blog is accessed through the root folder using the instructions found here.
I kept getting the message “Invalid server response- the response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method recieved from the weblog invalid” and after a little bit of looking at the requests and responses between live writer and wordpress I have found that wordpress is a returning a wrong value for the location of xmlrpc.php file, placing it in the root folder and the file is in the sub folder, where wordpress is installed.
I did a little tweak in xmlrpc.php
I have replaced the following lines close to the beginning (starting @ line 20) of xmlrpc.php:
with:
And viola - it worked like a charm…

We went to see Desert Dave in the Walnut Creek library and the kids had a blast. They have always enjoyed looking and playing with different animals, so making all the lizards and snakes that desert Dave brought was a lot of fun for them.
