Hate groups in your area (only in the United States)
While surfing the tubes I found upon this interesting site.
The site has this overlay for googlemaps that adds a layer. Nothing special you'd think.
True there are allot of overlays for googlemaps, however this one layer show us something quite disturbing.
The only thing that it shows are which hate groups there are in a state and where in the state that the groups are situated.
Is it a coincidence that California and Texas are the two states with the most groups?

WordPress Update Errors
Today I've encountered a rather annoying problem.
A friend of mine told me that there was a bug in the current WP version and that I needed to upgrade.
As it was a quite annoying bug (one that made it possible to ask for a password reset without confirmation),
I decided to upgrade as soon as possible. And I still curse that moment...
After the upgrade I wasn't able to upload or install things on my page. Still getting the same messages over and over again:
"Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content)"
"Warning: ftp_rawlist (): open_basedir restriction in effect. File (/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s)"
At first I just scratched my head and tried again, but the error was quite consistent, as it came back every time it tried.
Then I started to check all my files on the server, and just like I expected everything looked just like it's supposed to be.
Perhaps there went something wrong with the upgrade, so I decided to restore a backup. To my greatest horror the restore gave the same result. That was the moment that I started to search the tubes for more information.
Now we're a little hour later and I found a sollution.
- In your WP root create a folder called "tmp"
- Then ad the following string to your wp-config.php --> define('WP_TEMP_DIR','/tmp');
- Save the file
Those three simple steps solve the problem, at least it worked for me.
