Maybe not all of us are in positions to learn from these "The Press Releases of the Damned" but Technologizer has a great list of 7 top blunders that are all fairly recent. They cover the gamet from how Vista will change our world to the Time Warner/AOL debocle.

The Press Releases of the Damned!

For friends and Family I'm posting a few photos that were taken by my\r\nphotographer this evening. I'm getting married in 2 weeks. All the\r\nphotos can be found on the next page to save those who don't care :) I'd really like to thank Louis (Forever Platinum) for the pictures tonight!

I have several ColdFusion sites on the same VPS box. SiteA (this blog) has a CFLOCATION in the "/index.cfm" file that points to "/". SiteB about once a day will start throwing 404 errors. When your go to www.SiteB.com i get the index.cfm file from SiteA (this has been verified with a dump/abort); that cflocation tries to send you to /blog. Except magically it's in the correct folder now and /blog doesn't exist. It is very important to note that while I'm currently running Apache 2.2 on windows, this happened on IIS as well. This event is what caused me to switch to Apache thinking it was IIS Stability issue. The problem goes away instantly on a reboot of either service respectfully.

My folder structure is as follows:

Hard Drive Root
      wwwroot
            SiteA Base Folder
                  Blog
            SiteB Base Folder

My Apache setup order is

1. Default Virtual Host
2. SiteB Virtual Host
3. SiteA Virtual Host

The last time this error occured I outputed the client header information (from CF) and everything looks as though it should. Despite the fact that I was getting content out of the base folder for SiteA, I was in fact calling correctly for SiteB. If someone was to explain this error to me I think I would call them nuts.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this?

Some of you who know me, know that I'm getting married soon...\r\nYesterday I ran into an issue that I felt was worthy of a short story.\r\nMy girlfriend and I are trying to do a modest wedding and are keeping\r\ncosts down where we can; one of the places we cut back was on wedding\r\ninvitations and rsvp cards. We stopped into Michaels and picked up 3\r\nDIY packs that should suffice our 100+ crowd of adults plus children\r\nand created them in MS Word. I have an small-office laser printer in my\r\nhome office that prints faster than I thought was possible and it was\r\nWAY easier than I ever expected and we only spent $100ish dollars.

So\r\n2 days after we printed them all and put them aside I get a call during\r\nthe day: \"Honey what are we going to do? All of the wedding invitations\r\nare still wet, and they smudge at the smallest touch!\". When I got home\r\nthat night and surveyed that they were in fact not drying that she\r\nwasn't nuts, I came to the most obvious conclusion that any sain purson\r\ncould: \"Lets put em in the oven\".

If you want to join in on the heard of sheep downloading FireFox3 final today, the downloading will commence at 1pm East Coast time. Which if you ask me is an odd time to make something available; and yes I will be one of the sheep downloading.

Hopefully plugin makers will be updating semi-quickly to the new stable release.
