    How to fix thee UI-800-3 Netflix error on Fire TV

    Netflix on my Fire TV Stick was fine yesterday but today refused to start without a UI-800-3 error.

    Clicking on the option for additional information gave me an option to reset Netflix – the equivalent of clearing all the data in Android. You have to sign back in but that works a treat.

    Just went to have my watch repaired. Handed it over and was told to come back in 20 minutes. Erm, you have my watch?

    What I’d like to see in WordPress 4.7

    Helen Hou-Sandi, the lead for WordPress 4.7, has posed an interesting question – what would we like to see in the next release of WordPress?

    Initially, I echoed a number of other people with calls for two-factor authentication to be added (I use it for this site) but, after some thought, suggested something a bit more specific whilst, somehow, remaining a little vague.

    xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

    Now, the issue here is that the command line tools are either missing or broken. The same happened after El Capitan, so this appears to be a general issue and one that, sadly, Apple don’t seem to fix.

    One of the best things I added to my Draft List WordPress plugin was…

    My last big update to Draft List added a number of new features but, over time, the one that I’ve really appreciated the most, was adding a shortcut to the Administration menu to all the draft posts, including a display of how many drafts there are, right there in the menu.

    It’s genuinely been extremely helpful when working on this site and handling the number of drafts I’m often juggling with simultaneously!
