Fixing TweetDeck and Adobe Air Apps in OS X « Peter Boctor
Adobe AIR Encrypted Local Store (ELS)
- This contains your login info to Twitter
- To find this folder go to your Home directory -> Library folder -> Application Support folder -> Adobe folder -> AIR folder -> ELS folder then find the folder that starts with TweetDeck
- The actual path on my machine is:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/TweetDeckFast.F9107117265DB7542C1A806C8DB837742CE14C21.1I tried moving/deleting the Preferences folder, but that did nothing. I ended up deleting the Adobe AIR ELS folder and leaving the Preferences folder as is. TweetDeck asked me for my Twitter credentials again, but then everything was back to normal, including all of my preferences.

Old WordPress Versions Under Attack « Lorelle on WordPress
Otto42 of OttoDestruct, a key WordPress developer and supporter, reports that there is an “attack” on older versions of WordPress right now. The number of sites hit by this is growing every hour. Protect your WordPress blog now: UPDATE NOW!!!
Update your WordPress blog before you continue reading this post. That’s how critical this issue is
Sometimes I'm glad my personal site is as unread as it is. Security through obscurity!
The soft approach
I like to think that marketing works better when it's done honestly, which is why I'm rarely exuberant and loudmouthed about what's going on at work.
I think it's easier for people to trust my recommendations when they're not given out for everything, and when everything my company produces isn't automatically 100% awesome. So, I hope you trust me when I say that The Twitter Conference in Los Angeles on September 22-23rd, is looking fantastic. Biz says so himself.
The session grid is now live (and will be updated periodically up to the event) so you can take a quick look at what's being offered, and of course the speakers page lists the people on the podium. It includes names like Biz Stone, Guy Kawasaki, Dr Drew Pinsky, Tony Hawk, Olivia Munn, and iJustine.
The two day conference, including lunch, is only $299 (price expires September 6th), so register now, before seats run out.
See you there!
Cloaking shields
My brother was telling me the other day that research into cloaking shields is moving along quite nicely. I think it's pretty funny that my future kids could be watching Star Wars thinking: "what? They could travel faster than light but they can't figure out a cloaking shield?? I can buy one at REI!" - J ---------------
