I love it when that happens. Still, console yourself with the old English saying, "there's no such thing as bad weather, there are just the wrong clothes".

I don't know how clear this is, but there's a window in Main Street, USA (Eurodisney) with a sign "We print the news before it happens".

Seems quite topical

It was obviously Forza 4. Look at the aliasing on the wing mirror.

I also figured it was Forza 4, but maybe if I'd played 5 I would have wondered about it a bit.

Rev Stu needs to get a better internet connection. Whilst I agree that the updating of games is a pain, the always on option on the Xbox One means that I never see an update screen on games that I have installed. New games are a different matter so yeah, I agree with that.

Anyway.. I'm over the Xbox One. I'll be all about the Switch in a weeks time.

For the last few weeks there's been a sign on the door to the grandest room at work informing users that 'the two chandeliers by the widows' are out of order. I must remember to get a photo of this before they take it down.

Love the chart. Now you need to complicate it with the agony of if she's either understimulated or over stimulated and whether you should play and make funny faces or move her to a calm dark room.

Finally, you will exhaust that list and have to restart it for no reason because she won't stop crying. At that point, leave her on the floor (on a blanket or in Moses basket or whatever) and go and sit in another room for 5 minutes while she screams blue agonising murder and you cry. Then come back in and start again.

You will absolutely get to the end of your tether, but remember:
She can't fall off the floor.

Thanks, good advise. I was thinking of putting a counter below burp that goes to a 5 minute floor timer. I am unaware of the stimulation factor however, what happens with that one?

Drinking cider at a beer festival is a terrible idea. Yet, I always do it.

If you drive past a police person with a radar gun thing, if they don't stop you at the time can you be issued with a ticket by post?

Oh it was just another step to add to the flow chart. She might be crying because she's bored, or because too much is happening around and it's over stimulating. I would start with the darker room and soothing noises and then go for funny face time if that doesn't work.

Mostly it's guesswork because sometimes they cry and there's just nothing you can do to make it stop. That's when you have to apply the flow chart to yourself to get yourself calm as well.

They just waved at me to slow down a bit as it was a thirty zone. Probably not, often just a survey.

Was it an actual police person standing by the side of the road pointing it or was it out the back of a van? I've had a ticket from the back of a van AND I've been stopped by a policeman with a radar gun.

I would have thought that if they're going to stop you there would be someone holding the gun and few other officers behind him to deal with the criminals.

That's right. Criminals.

Amusingly, the same rozzers just pulled up outside our top garden and asked if I'd seen a ne'er do well in a green transit. I felt like asking if they'd clocked me on the other side of the valley with their raygun.

Heh.

It seems to be what it's aiming for, but it seems a bit soulless. And the helicopter controls are just abysmal.

Can someone help me with a coding thing on my fanny website?

I should have left it alone but someone on here said you should keep it updated and that bollocks. Turns out, shit happens when you update.

I'm seeing this [redacted] error message thanks to the theme updating.

Quote:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /websites/MYWEBSITE/BLAH BLAH/wp/wp-content/themes/zerif-lite/inc/customizer.php on line 109


Line 109 says:

Quote:
'render_callback' => function() {


That's probably not helpful so the bits before and after say.

Quote:
if ( isset( $wp_customize->selective_refresh ) ) {
$wp_customize->selective_refresh->add_partial( 'custom_logo', array(
'selector' => '.navbar-brand',
'settings' => 'custom_logo',
'render_callback' => 'zerif_custom_logo_callback',
));
$wp_customize->selective_refresh->add_partial( 'zerif_bigtitle_title_2', array(
'selector' => '.intro-text',
'settings' => 'zerif_bigtitle_title_2',
'render_callback' => function() {
return wp_kses_post( get_theme_mod( 'zerif_bigtitle_title_2' ) );


Anyone have any ideas?

What version of PHP are you running?

Edit: to speed things up, you're going to need a newer version if you want to keep using that theme.

Current PHP version: 5.2.17

Took me long enough to learn how to find out what PHP I was using. How'd I get an update?

Oof. You should really be on at least 5.6.29.

PHP 7 is the current stable release.

How to upgrade depends on how you host, really.

How did you find out about your PHP version?

I think (unless someone tells me otherwise) that you'll need to go up to PHP 7 to run that code.

This isn't a small deal, so you your best bet is probably to upgrade to PHP 5.6 (for the security updates) and to stop using that WP theme.

Don't worry, I've sorted it now.

Just to show off though: I opened notepad and did some coding sheeet and uploaded it to the website via FTP. Then I went to the website and it told me the PHP.

Then I went back to my provider and found a way of updating to 5.6. Boom.

I am a god.
