Last night Jeana and myself took our beach cruisers down the the Santa Monica Pier to check out their 100th anniversary firework celebration. Check out a few of the photo’s I took.

Santa Monica Pier 100th Anniversary
WordCamp comes to Los Angeles
Well, after month of planning, WordCampLA is finally days away. This WordCamp idea was born after I attended WordCamp in Las Vegas.
But that was nine months ago. It’s now September, Labor Day has passed and that means the the summer has come to an end. So anyone who lives in the Los Angeles or greater surrounding areas and is a WordPress fan should come hang for the last “tech event of the summer”! WordCampLA, at this moment has around 60 tickets left, which can be purchased at Eventbrite or directly from the WordCampLA site.
I’ve got to say without the help of a few people, and two great sponsors, this event might not have happened, so thank you:
- Jeana Arter
- Darin Hardy & Alyssa Hastings @ InMotion Hosting
- Michael Brodsky @ Loyola Marymount University
But of course, I want to thank all the sponsors of the upcoming event, so visit the sponsor page to see who else is helping to make the first WordCampLA a successful event.

Annoyance: 1and1 shared hosting
In a follow up to “WordPress fatal error” I now know one of the THE MAIN problems!
My current previus host: 1and1, stated this:
Due to resource limits on our Shared Hosting machines, it is not possible to allocate more than 20M of memory to PHP, although phpinfo() may report a higher number. You will be unable to increase the memory usage limit with a php.ini file.
What does that mean? What kinda crap is that?
phpinfo MAY show more, but we really mean NOT!
So, I may be moving over my personal sites ( which is about 10 ) to another host which doesn’t restrict my memory_limit to 20M. Because I can’t upload one photo over 1600×1200, that’s crap!
Hey 1and1, do something about this?

Just saw these books and thought it would make a pretty cool shot.
Annoyance: WordPress fatal error on image.php
I find my self uploading less and less gallery style images to my photo weblog of the “night before” and my little vacation trips because I keep running into this:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 34340864) (tried to allocate 9088 bytes) in /thefrosty/wp-admin/includes/image.php on line 147
See photo:
WordPress Gallery upload error message, come on!
So I am at a stand still and don’t know what do do. I’m real sick of having to resize my original photos down to a “friendly” workable size just to upload them. Plus I am using 1and1 as my host, which has a cap on my php.ini file for max MB upload.
I’ve tried Snag it to resize, and it works great and fast, but I’ve found it strips the EXIF data from the photo, and that sucks! And Photoshop just takes to long.
I am really, really hoping that WordPress 2.9 takes care of this issue, or I may have to [insert something here].
