“name” is a reserved word in WordPress

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011



Just spent a few hours trying to debug a custom form in WordPress. The problem was every time the form was submitted I got a 404 error. Turns out the text input called “name” was the problem and “name” seems to be a reserved word in WordPress. Changed to something else and it all worked fine.

When logs should not go into the log directory

Sunday, August 21st, 2011



Well it seems that applications that go in to the app store for OS X cannot write log files to the log files directory. Appeal lost :(

Crazy…..

Wake on Lan for OS X rejected…

Thursday, August 11th, 2011



Well it seems that Wake on Lan for OS X 1.6 won’t be out for a few more days after being rejected for “2.30 Apps that do not comply with the Mac OS X File System documentation will be rejected”

Seems like writing to ‘~/Library/Logs/Depicus’ is not allowed. Crazy because that is where log files are written for applications. Well appeal is in so lets see what happens.

Slow Motion in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5

Thursday, August 4th, 2011



They say “motion is captured in the camera” and this is especially true for slow motion.

This is a quick, dirty and unscientific look and the new Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5s retiming.

The clip is a 5 second shot that I knew would not slow down well despite being shot on a Canon 7D at 720p 60fps.

All the clips were retimed to 10%.

If you want to see what the Canon 7D at 60fps can do have a look at this vimeo.com sadly it uses a plugin in FCP which is not yet available for FCP X.

The Motion 5 frame blending settings were:

None
Blending
Motion-Blur Blending
Optical Flow
