Feeling blue

I’ve changed the theme for the site. I was previously using Kubrick and I’ve switched to Brian Gardner‘s Blue Zinfandel theme. I’m using Brian Gardner’s Vertigo theme on Fanmode and was quite happy with it so I decided to change this site as well.

There are a couple of problems here and there. The most notable has to do with the CSS styling.
WordPress theme: Blue Zinfandel
I’m certain that’s caused by the width of the centre column but I need to brush up on CSS before I try fixing that.

If you notice any other serious problems with the site, I’d appreciate a comment.

7-Zip

Do we still need 3rd party compression software when we have self-extracting archives and operating systems with built-in ZIP support?

Of course we do.

I don’t know about you but the most common compression formats I run into these days are RAR and ZIP. I use Windows XP’s built-in ZIP extractor to handle ZIP files and I use a free command line utility, UnRAR for Windows, to extract RAR archives. That’s pretty much all my decompression needs taken care of.

Or so I thought.

I didn’t see any great need to get additional compression software after I upgraded to a new PC until I downloaded the logs from my web site a few days ago. cPanel compresses logs in the GZIP format and I discovered I had no way of decompressing a GZIP archive on my new PC.

I recalled seeing a program called 7-Zip last year so I decided to check it out.
