So Firefox 2.0 has been out for a while. However, if you check out some of the release notes, the one that talks about updating extensions for Firefox 2 seems really interesting: The first step — and, for most extensions, the only one that will be needed — is to update the install manifest file, […]
So, today at 8:34 am UTC Messenger has reaches Venus and it’s doing its first Venus flyby. Can’t wait for the first pictures to arrive. The mission timeline shows that this flyby is scheduled at about 3000 km, but the second fly by (which is only due in July 2007) will be much much lower, […]
Found this plugin called WP-Amazon (check out the site here: http://manalang.com/wp-amazon/). Once configured it adds this button which allows you to search and insert content from Amazon into your post. So just to try it out, in this post there should be an Amazon link to Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man CD. Unfortunatelly it doesn’t […]
Why can’t I copy and paste the code for an IFRAME in wordpress? If I go to the HTML dialog and copy and paste the IFRAME from say Amazon, WordPress tries to be “clever” and, well, it does something really stupid and messes it all up! It basically shoves the content of the post inside […]

If like myself you like your desktop wallpaper changed often with cool stuff, you might find this site useful: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html. Every day there is a new picture related to astronomy posted and you can download them in high quality as well. Some of them are indeed artists impressions of various events yet to come, but […]
For those of you who haven’t heard about it yet, New Horizons is NASA’s mission to explore Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. The mission started back in January 2006 — and if you visit the mission’s site, the counters on the first page will tell you exactly, down to the very second, how long has […]
This has happened to me recently: Normally I check my webservers logs regularly — partly to find out whether my page views have increased (if only 🙂 ), partly to see where my visitors come from (and more importantly to make sure that I get other visitors than my friends 🙂 ), partly to see […]
This one goes to the web designers out there (definitely not me then 🙂 lol): I found this nice collection of fonts that can be used freely on web pages. Check out www.goodfonts.org — nice! Also, here is a good article on how to embed fonts in web pages. Hopefully the both of them will […]
