Solar System Live

Posted by & filed under , , .

Have you seen this “live” Solar system simulator? Check out http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar — really cool! And don’t try to keep refreshing it to see how the planets move 🙂 The scale of the simulation is small enough so you can just about see a diferrence from day to day. You can try playing with the dates […]

SquirrelMail Autocomplete for Firefox

Posted by & filed under , , .

So I finally got around to providing a fix for the Autocomplete plugin for SquirrelMail to work in Firefox (for those of you who didn’t realise, the plugin was only working with Internet Explorer before). Hopefully the fix will make it in the next release of the plugin, but for those of you who are […]

Firefox 2.0 and Existing Plugins/Extensions

Posted by & filed under , , .

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, […]

Speaking of Amazon-WordPress Integration…

Posted by & filed under , , .

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 […]

Posted by & filed under , , , .

If you are using Google and your are using the Personalised Home Page, by now you must have heard of “Google Gadgets” — those little applets that you add to your home page and you move around and align them as you wish. I personally think it’s great — I even went to the length […]

Protect your online content

Posted by & filed under , , , .

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 […]

“Protecting” the online contents

Posted by & filed under , , .

So, have you checked out http://www.protware.com/ and their product that allegedely protects your online content from copy/paste/view source and so on… What a load of pants 🙂 Don’t they just realise that since you have to make at some point the unecrypted contents available to the browser (unless you’re going to use a plugin, which […]

The dawn of a new era :-)

Posted by & filed under .

(or maybe I should spell it as “the dawn of a new error” 🙂 ) Only just installed wordpress and started the blog site — which I’ve been meaning to do for a while now but just couldn’t be bothered. As it turns out is less complicated than I thought 🙂 Hmmmm…. I’d be curious […]
