Looks like Microsoft has some sense of humor:
It won’t make me a sandwich?
System Restore can fix many problems, but it’s not designed to do everything. It won’t fix a slow download speed, for example. But it’s a great tool to turn to when everything else you’ve tried hasn’t worked…
I ran across this little nugget last night while trying to figure out why System Restore was only keeping one restore point on my dad’s laptop.

Holy networked sites batman! With Breadcrumb NavXT 3.7.0, you can now have a complete, multi site wide, breadcrumb trail. Also new to this release are custom post type root pages, these are similar to the posts page setting that WordPress has for posts. Other notable features include the ability to use posts as a taxonomy for custom posts, and a settings version checker alerting to incomplete installs.
This version has many under the hood enhancements and bug fixes in regards to saving, and importing settings, installation, detection of unsupported PHP versions, and some rare use cases for Breadcrumb NavXT. Many of the previous upgrade and installation issues have a good workaround in place.
Please note that the following translations have not been updated by their authors:
If you are fluent in any of these languages and wish to update these translations, let me know. I am sure many users will be grateful.
You can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page.

After upgrading some core files this past week on my laptop, I noticed that Teamspeak 3 no longer would open. I have a desktop icon that calls the script that starts Teamspeak. When I opened up a terminal and tried to run the script, I recieved this error:
ts3client_linux_amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Well, I have libpng 1.4.3 on my laptop, and I’d prefer to not have multiple versions installed. Luckily, the cause of this issue is the QT4 library files that ship with Teamspeak 3. If you have KDE4, like I do, then all you have to do is move these QT files out of the Teamspeak 3 install directory. A quick way to do this is to use the following once you are in the directory where Teamspeak 3’s files are located:
mkdir backup
mv libQt* ./backup/
Now Teamspeak 3 will use your already installed system QT4 library files, and Teamspeak 3 should now work with modern versions of libpng.

Since Breadcrumb NavXT 3.5.0, two WordPress actions have been added into Breadcrumb NavXT. They are the bcn_before_fill and bcn_after_fill actions. As their names suggest, the first runs at the beginning of bcn_breadcrumb_trail::fill(), and the second runs at the end of the same function. Both actions pass a reference to the current bcn_breadcrumb_trail instance into the hooked function. This post quickly covers a use case for the bcn_after_fill action.
A week ago I found the now well known backdoor in BlogPress SEO. Since then the news has been picked up all over the place, some more accurate than others. Regardless, the pressure has caused the makers of the plugin to remove the backdoor, which did not move it out of its unacceptable state.
