Joomla and “can’t execute code from a freed script” error

Filed under: Interesting,Technical — george @ 8:05 am

For those using internet explorer, Stop Using It. It is a security bug by itself!!

The following error kept coming up using internet explorer with a joomla site of mine “can’t execute code from a freed script” . I had no idea what caused it but in the end it turned out to be the order of the script and meta tags in the head section of the page.
Make sure that all meta tags are before any script tags.  Joomla will add its own meta tags that don’t appear hardcoded in the template itself. It turned out that some plugin also added some script tags in the head section in this rather unorthodox way. A meta tag which followed caused havoc! I ended up moving the content meta tag at the top of the head section and the problem was solved. Kudos to the following website:

Enemy Territory

Filed under: fun and games — george @ 7:11 am

One of the most enjoyable multiplayer games to play is Enemy Territory.  If you don’t know what it is google it up, or wikipedia it.  It is based on castle wolfenstein and was ment to be the multiplayer version fo it, but ended up getting released for free and with parts of it open sourced (not the engine itself).

It was the embraced by a community of enthusiasts who have developed maps and mods and made it a very popular choice for people who want to have some fun :)

Here are a few of the resources i found online to help others get started without needing to search everywhere:
