Not sure if this plugin is supported anymore - I suspect not - but maybe anyone can point me in any helpful direction! I have a very weird problem: I input the RSS feed link and the thumbnails show up perfectly when I preview the page, BUT, the moment the page is refreshed I get a lot of broken links ( the dreaded question marks)! Anybody have any thoughts, any at all?!? And, no lightbox feature either! Cliff Hi!

Is there a fix for gallery size? I've noticed that galleries over 500 photos in size tank WP. Is this a fail on the plugin or a fail of WP? Fantastic plug in. Is there a fix for gallery size?

I have created an apple script which I can run as a service, but I want to add a bit more functionality which I think I can only get by writing a plugin xcode. I have been searching the web for some resources but without much luck. All the best and even if you are unable to help, im enjoying reading some of your blog. Diolch Dave Hi Adam

]]> Comment on Verizon MiFi Disconnects Constantly in WiFi Mode by Sara http://www.tow.com/2010/04/30/verizon-mifi-disconnects-constantly-in-wifi-mode/#comment-208974 Sara Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:42:22 +0000 http://www.tow.com/?p=2010#comment-208974 Thanks so much, Daniel. I recently switched out my Laptop to on that is running Windows 7. The MiFi was running a little buggy. Then, in the last week, since Windows updated w/several security patches, it was dropping the connection repeatedly and I had to reboot the modem in order to reestablish the connection. It got so that I couldn't get a page to load at all. I realized that I hadn't actually connected the modem directly to the laptop at all, allowing it to update since I purchased it a year ago. There were a lot of updates that it needed. Lesson learned. Like any hardware, these little modems need regular updates in order to keep up w/the rest of the software updates on your computer. Can't really blame Verizon when it doesn't work right, if we don't do proper maintenance. I will knock Verizon for not having techs available that can just tell us this when we start encountering problems however. Why don't they have proper technical support for the MiFi?

Do you maintain it, updating for Lion for example? Thanks for working on this app! This would be a wonderful solution, but I visited the app store and I don’t see any updates.

I am weighing a decision of paying $130.00 to cancel or continue putting up with the frustration. I use the MiFi with my I-Pad and my lap-top - what I had not checked is making sure one or the other is turned off when using the MiFi and I will try that tonight - in other words use it with the lap-top or with the I-pad, but not both at the same time. I experience the worst connectivity when using the MiFi with Skype or FaceTime - but each time I've had both units on, so I wonder if it can really handle more than one item switched on at same time - when I bought it, I had been advised that it could handle up to 4 items, I "interpreted" that as saying "at the same time" - but that is what I get for trusting what is being said for factual information - If I was shopping for it today, I would pass. The only reason I bought it is because I did away with my land-line and decided to go wireless - investigation advised that Verizon had better coverage in my area than ATT (although my I-phone is with ATT) - I am seriously thinking of buying a 5G monthly package for my I-pad with ATT and give the MiFi a ByFi. BTW - I am having to pay a $20.00 over usage charges because of the disconnectivity - by that I mean that because it would disconnect, I would have to re-start the downloads each time from the beginning - did they offer to waive the charges???? Are you kidding...... Anyone out there with any sort of inkling to buy a MiFi..........pass on it if you can.

He was way ahead of his time and definitely left behind something we will all remember and benefit from. I have always wanted an Apple computer and could never afford one. I recently purchased an older Mini Mac from 2005 and it works well. I'm still saving up though for my 27" Desktop! See you in the future Steve! Steve Jobs will be missed dearaly.

I am overweight but I would not say that I am huge. If I continue these bad habits, I know it will only get worse for me. For the most part, I think where I go wrong is I am either in a hurry and want to eat now or just too lazy to cook. It's not that I don't know how to cook but someone else's food seems to taste better. Thanks for this article! Go figure, Chinese Buffets are my favorite place to go when eating out.
