… and the WordPress for Android application.

It works and I like it ;-)

Recently I've stumbled upon a strange looking site-to-site (CheckPoint R70 to Cisco VPN3k) VPN problem:

Connections from some networks were dropped with the following error:

Encryption failure: Received a cleartext packet within an encrypted connection

The first step was to check the encryption domains for the tunnel. In both GUI and /etc/fw/conf/user.def the encryption domain was the whole class B network, assigned to the company.

Next step was tracing.

If you made the change below for 3.1RC-3.1 and/or used manually created tag/category links in 3.1RC-3.1 and just upgraded to 3.1.1, you may find that the links are broken. The reason is that in 3.1.1 the tag and category links returned to the 3.0 style with the word "archives" in the URL.

To make it work you can change .htaccess to the following:

You can use Coral free CDN to off-load the WordPress attachments (usually images). In order to use Coral you need to add ".nyud.net" to the site DNS address. For example, http://www.alekz.net will become http://www.alekz.net.nyud.net. Coral is usually too slow to serve all static content, so the most effective solution would be to use it only for the biggest files.

Here's a simple solution. Add the following to functions.php of your current theme:

add_filter ('wp_get_attachment_url', 'freecdn_url');

function freecdn_url ($url)
{
    if (! is_attachment () ) return $url;
    $cdn_url = ".nyud.net";
    $decomposed_url = explode ("/", $url);
    $decomposed_url[2] =  $decomposed_url[2] . $cdn_url;
    $url = implode("/", $decomposed_url);
    return $url;
}

Your theme (e.g. the bundled "TwentyTen") must use wp_get_attachment_url(), of course. If not – you got the idea, didn't you? ;-)

Also, you can use freecdn_url () function to rewrite any URL you want to download from Coral.

Found another cPanel application which you can safely turn off in order to safe some bytes and cycles.

By default dcpumon runs every 5 min to log CPU usage ("top" output) :

and stores the data into /var/log/dcpumon

You can view the report with dcpumonview command:
