Wordpress.org question. I'm writing a post that includes the string "x10" (I'm describing a box set of 10" vinyl records as 5x10"). Wordpress sees the "x10", decides that it's unicode(?) and converts it to a character that appears as question marks. I just want to to display the original 5x10". If I use a capital X, it works fine. Is there a filter or somesuch to prevent these substitutions?
On edit: Looks like it only does the conversion if there's a digit before the x10. So, 1x10 converts to 1�10, 2x10 converts to 2�10, etc.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jon, I don't know wordpress, but does it happen if you use the html entity for times (×), i.e., 5×10"?
edit - As in I had to use the entity for ampersand to get the code for entity for times to show up properly.

Yes, the issue is with displaying a times symbol. Apparently Wordpress substitutes a times symbol when you type a lowercase x between two numbers. It does this with various characters, most notably substituting in smartquotes for straight ones. See [link]
Now I just need to figure out how to add a filter that turns off the times piece.
I actually wouldn't mind the substitution if it displayed correctly! No idea why it isn't. It's supposed to be using UTF8.

Heh. Someone made a plugin that does what I need: [link]
I still don't understand why the × isn't displaying correctly, but whatevs.

Ok Folks, even though I was laid off doesn't mean I can't want something.
Do any of you have old Nikon camera lenses with F or AF mount laying around and want to find a good home?
For services rendered, I have been given a Nikon DSLR body, but all of my lenses are 30 years old and Pentax (working on an adapter) so anything might be helpful, let me know.

Anyone know why a stylesheet would suddenly stop loading for some web users but not others? The web server is a late-model IIS server. Looking at the server log I see some 401 (unauthorized) errors for the stylesheet file for certain users.
eta: It's a 401.1 (invalid user credentials) error. Some users get this error on certain files while other users never get it.
eta2: We solved the problem. It was actually a database issue.

Networking question here.
I'm using Dante (which is an audio over ethernet thing). This is on a Mac Tower running 10.7.5. In the system pref's I set up a manual IP on Ethernet port 1 (there are two hard ports on this computer). The second port has nothing connected. The Wi-fi is for internet.
The manual IP address is 192.168.0.55. When I connect it to the mixer the virtual sound card says the IP address for that port is 192.168.2.2. If I go to terminal, and do an "ifconfig", it tells me this:
en0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 options=2b ether 00:17:f2:01:f9:32 inet6 fe80::217:f2ff:fe01:f932%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet 192.168.0.55 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 media: autoselect (1000baseT ) status: active
Tech support says I have a VLAN running that is configured wrong. I, for the life of me, can not find how to turn OFF a VLAN I do not recall creating. Any thoughts? Ideas? Observations?
The Dante is working, it's just a head scratcher. Wanna make it right.
