The Studiopress theme for WordpressMU is broken. When you try to update the options you get the message “options page not found”. I have fixed the issue:
[code]

> if ( is_admin() ){ // admin actions
19a21,30
> add_action('admin_init', 'register_mysettings' );
>
> } else {
> // non-admin enqueues, actions, and filters
> }
>
> function register_mysettings() { // whitelist options
>   register_setting( 'Theme Options', 'greeting' );
>   register_setting( 'Theme Options', 'welcomemessage' );
> }

Ok, I was thinking the other day… Why did I start using Chrome? I must have been unhappy with Safari. Then I thought some more…. I must have been unhappy with Firefox before I was unhappy with Safari. But why?

I don’t remember the exact time I switched to Safari, away from Firefox, so I don’t recall the specific reasons, but I think I was looking for a more integrated Mac experience with my iPhone browser. After using Safari for a while I started noticing that when I had a lot of tabs open, which on a normal day may mean up to 15 or 20 at a time, the performance of the browser and the CPU/Memory requirements was starting to cause me grief.

So one day I saw an article that was essentially “Why are you not using Chrome? You should be!”. So I figured I would give it a shot.

I have been using Chrome now for a couple of months, and it seems to perform well, although I have noticed a few sites that do not work with Chrome (Webex for example).

Well this morning I decided to do a very technical performance test, one that could only be done by a highly trained technician such as myself, I decided to load them all up with the same tabs content and compare them using the built-in Activity Monitor.

Here is the result:

I loaded each browser with 6 tabs and loaded the same sites on each.

Safari: Real Memory=142.55MB, CPU=.3, Threads=13

Firefox: Real Memory=99.5MB, CPU=.7, Threads=12

Chrome: Real Memory=115.36, CPU=0, Threads=16

The results are not surprising. Chrome basically sites there idle, consuming the 2nd most RAM, but consuming the least amount of CPU.

I then decided to open up 10 more tabs on each:

Safari: Real Memory=222.52MB, CPU=.4, Threads=16

Firefox: Real Memory=152.55MB, CPU=1.5, Threads=15

Chrome: Real Memory=125.34MB, CPU=0, Threads=16

The one thing that stands out here is the fact that Chrome is only consuming 10MB more of RAM, while Firefox jumped up 53MB, and Safari a whopping 80MB! And CPU on Chrome is still at 0!

Now I realize this test is probably VERY flawed, but it sort of proves to me what I kind of figured out before I did this test, that Chrome performs better than Safari or Firefox when it comes to system resources.

GuildMM is a free addon for World of Warcraft that adds mass mailing functions to the game. It is an update to the an addon called Guild Mail List. Guild Mail List contained all of the features I was looking for but had not been updated for quite some time so I decided to start a new version of the addon and maintain it myself.
