[SOLVED] No pages found error in #Wordpress
Oops, error, "No pages found"
Did you login to suddenly find no pages found on your Wordpress backend? I did, and I couldn’t work out why despite having lots of content. Boy I was scratching my head. Here’s how I solved not seeing any pages in the Wordpress administration area.

Crazy model Helicopter tricks appear to defy physics
Wow, the model Helicopters look like fun. I'd love to have one to play with, I wonder how much time it takes to perfect those physics defying manoeuvres.

Help! My Fusion Builder button has disappeared and all I see is code using Avada theme on Wordpress.
Sound familiar? You changes something in Wordpress and now the fusion builder button is not appearing in your post or pages, instead all you see is code. I’m not talk bout the little Fusion shortcode generator button, I’m talking about the big Fusion Builder button which allows you to build pages using the Fusion Builder, you’ve lost it, it doesn’t even appear at the top of of your Wordpress post or article. Sound like the issue?
Worry not. I might have the solution.

Honest toilet sign at the top the Rock of Gibraltar shows us what we're really like
Found this gem at outside the toilets at the café at the top of the rock of Gibraltar. I mean, this sign simply tell it like it is.
Luckily we visited it just recently because in the future we might really have to get a visa just to go there (lol @ #brexit).

Finding a job in the south of Spain (Costa del Sol)
Finding a job in the south of Spain.
OK, I'll admit it, this is not going to be highly informative article about all the different ways you can find a job working in the South of Spain and there’s a good reason for that; I’m extremely biased. I’m going to tell you that the best way to get a good job in Marbella, Fuengirola , Malaga or any of the many beautiful cities and towns on the Costa del Sol is by contacting me. It’s that simple.

Change the texture of a duplicated prefab in unity (How to) #unity
Help! I can't change the texture/map of a prefab I duplicated without also changing the original Prefab in unity game engine!
Does this sound like the problem? You duplicated a prefab in Unity and when you go to change it's texture, map or colour you find the original prefab changes too? You ask yourself; Is this an instance? Are the prefabs connected? Do I have to somehow ungroup them, disconnect them or break them?

So if you are looking to find out how to flip normals in Cineam 4D I hope this helps:
This pic show how you can flip the normals in Cinema 4D is easy,... once you know how.

Cheapest printers to run (lowest cost of ownership).
So, I made a short video because one of the biggest problems people have is finding a printer that is cheap to run. At home or in the office the problem generally with home printers is that they cost to much to use.
Because I've been in the printing industry for twenty years, I know the one thing you need to look out for when you want a cheap printer. It's not the cost of purchasing it, it's the running cost. This video shows a new type of printer which drastically brings down the running cost making these printers the lowest cost per page and the cheapest to own and run.
One thing I will say though, they aren't fast. If you're organised like me, it's not a problem. Where I work it's a different story. They suddenly want pages and pages of print without any warning and they are always complaining about how slow the printer is (so the are going to replace it with a machine which will cost about 150€ per month more for the same amount of print).
Anyway, if you want a printer with the lowest per page cost, this is it. It's great for the home or office just prepare for the fact that it is slow:

So, are you ready to say "overpriced piece of crap" #apple haters? #samsungsucks, turns out #appleisbetter
I don't know how many times I've heard people say "overprice piece of crap" when talking about an Apple product. If course none of those people had ever used OS X and very few of them understood the value proposition of quality=longevity, free lifetime updates, lower maintenance costs and better user experience/improved productivity. They tended to think like: 4gb is better than 2gb. Thats where the "piece of crap" comment comes form, the inference that a lower hardware specification means a less capable device. The "over priced" part really happens because you can buy cheap PC's, but cheap I mean, cheaply built with budget plastic parts. But as soon as you get a PC with a similar build quality you will see that Apple products are not at all overpriced.
The truth is that a devices quality and preformance depend on both hardware and software. Thet´s why Apple continually outperforms, because it develops both.
So I got more than a little bit of Shadenfruede to learn that the new Samsung flagship phone is more expensive than the current iPhone and does't even hold a candle to it performance-wise.
So Apple hater, is that "an overpriced piece of crap"? I think it literally has to be.

Diesel should never be this cheap! @Greenpeace @climateprogress @TreeHugger @teslamotors @EnviroAction #environmental
When some people look the picture below (I took at the pump this week) they might be happy. Perhaps even the majority. I'm not. I'm disgusted. I think fossil fuels should be expensive, or at the very least we should have a system in place to stop the price dropping. Why? Because people are stupid. Thinking about their own personal benefit instead of the future of the planet, which is ironically is more personally beneficial than saving a few bucks today. If that´s not stupid I don't know what is.
We need oil prices to be high. People don't care about working to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel unless it hits them in the pocket. Yes, there was even a part of me that was happy about how cheap it was, but a bigger part of me knew what this means and just thought: This. Is. Shit.
Here's hoping more companies follow #teslamotors and say "enough is enough, there is only one way forward - environmentally conscious transport" (my quote not theirs). Anything else is just soiling our own nest.

#Running up a 400m #Ski Jump slope, possibly one of the most gruelling things I can imaging #redbull.
Running up a ski jump slope.
Ok, I do a bit of fitness, not as much as I should, but I try. Running wasn't really my thing but after I got into it and now I can't imagine not doing it. I would't want to compete with these guys, I don't even know if I'd complete the course! But I would love the chance to just try, I wonder if there is a ski jump slope anywhere in Spain (where I live) that I can go to. Anyway, while I'm googling ski jump slopes to run up, you can watch the action in this this video:

@Viewmaster great evolution of the viewmaster, #kids will love it!
Did you have a Viewmaster? I did, great fun. Well now there are a lot of 3D experiences you can have with your iPhone like, for example I bought a Google cardboard (a cardboard virtual reality viewer for you iPhone - hint: it's shit, cardboard 2,3 or later should be much better).
So how does Viemaster compete with other VR iPhone products? Like this… (I found myself saying "that's pretty neat", so I had to share). I think Viewmaster have done a great job in preserving the old Viewmaster experience in a modern format…
If you want to introduce you kids to VR then this new Viewmaster for iPhone looks like great fun!
(um works with Android too)

Rubiks cube #puzzle #toy solved in just over a second by a #robot.
Ok. My son has just discovered the Rubiks cube. He's having a lot of fun with it, but is yet to learn how to solve it. I never once solved Rubiks cube, because I couldn't be bothered to stick it out. This guy solves a rubikcs cube in under 5 seconds and for years people have been able to solve Rubiks cubes faster than computer controlled robotic devices. Until now... Take a look, it's quite interesting and if all you want to do is see a rubiks cube solved by a robot in just a little over a second, luckily it's at the start of the video so it won't take long :P
Epic Rubic Cube #worldrecord solver in under 5 second (#video) #amazing

Reggae Cover of Hello by Adele:
That Reggae Cover of Hello by AdeleLooking for that Reggae cover of Adeles song "Hello" that people have been sharing and talking about. This is it. I´m not the biggest Reggae fan. Nor am I a fan of Adele music in general, let alone the song "Hello". Just not my cup of tea. But even I have to admit that despite Conkarah´s obvious self importance (who am I to talk, I have a website of my own name) and the significant auto tune in his shisters voice (strangely I don't have anything against that). The tune is gold and I'm happy to share it. Here is the Reggae cover of Adeles song "Hello". Oh and I must admit. I love the closeup of Conkarah's sun glasses where you can see the tripod and nothing but the beach and sea in the background.
