Lifetype 1.2.10 Patch for root Blog URL Paging Bug

Lifetype 1.2.10 security release was made public just a couple hours ago.  Paging on the URL root is broken in the packages provided on Lifetype's website.

I notified the developer and he very quickly had a patch available.  This patch is only relevant if you installed the update, or full installation within a few hours of initial public release.

To patch Lifetype, change the directory to your Blog document root and issue the command "patch -p0 < ./lifetype-1.2.10-paging-patch".

VOICE Your Net Neutrality

I have placed an audio interview held in Madison, Wisconsin in front of Senator Kohl's office containing many reasons why we need to fight for net neutrality from small business owners and home web surfers.

We must act fast to send our comments about net neutrality making solid assurance that our Internet freedom to have a fair and just Internet network will be here for our future!

The deadline is tonight, midnight, to send your comments to the FCC and have your strong voice for personal freedom be noticed.

-> SAVE THE INTERNET<-

It is Squirrel Thursday! The rise of the Squirrel Army.

Here stands a Fur member, segmented from the population yet destined for the rise of power and authority over all park benches that us humans are able to utilize.

Their statue is strong, as you can see, though their fall will be harsh and fast, if I have anything to do with this mess of a Fur.  Do not stand so proud, as small game hunting season will come shortly to us humans!
