I haven’t updated this blog in a while nor have I been checking emails on the liviutudor.com domain account and it appears Murphy’s law applies in such cases — as I had indeed one email asking about the WordPress plugin for IntelliTXT which has been sitting in my inbox for about a week now. Should […]

New mobile + contract
I’m sure we’ve all been here before, but even so, I find it just as annoying every time: your mobile contract is about to expire…and to prove how much they appreciate your being one of their customer, your mobile company A calls you to tell you that you are eligible for a free handset upgrade […]
System Update
For the less geeky of you who haven’t figured it out by now, there’s been quite a few changes recently on my website(s): First of all, my advertising/banners are now served via a fresh implementation of OpenX — and I can’t begin to tell you how much easier is to normalize <script> tags and <iframe> […]
Terragen
How’s this for a cool 3D surface generation tool: just found this piece of software called Terragen which generates some cool terrain surfaces! Give it a try here: http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/productmain.shtml — wicked!
Playing Music on Mobile Phones
Maybe it’s just me who’s been unlucky lately with the MP3 players and mobiles I acquired lately but it seems to be an intentional incompatibility in between those still! In brief — a couple of years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile and what I did like about it is that it had a […]

One (good) reason to switch to Firefox
I was talking the other day with a friend of mine who’s by no means a techie — however, she decided to switch to Firefox (rather than using the pre-installed Internet Explorer which comes with Windows). I was a bit puzzled (in a good way) to find out about this so I asked why. And […]
WordPress IntelliTXT Plugin
Checkout my fresh IntelliTXT tags served by Vibrant Media‘s WordPress/IntelliTXT plugin! For your ordinary user, of course, there is no difference, as the see IntelliTXT as before — however! If you ever got stuck inside WordPress and tried to go through all the PHP files (oh, and the themes, and the plugins!) to try to […]
QR/Barcode for mobiles
Here’s a cool little web utility for designing your own barcode image for mobiles: http://qrcode.es/?page_id=90&language=en Simply type in the text and the scan the generated image using your mobile barcode scanner. And to test it, here’s one that I have put together using it — scan it and you’ll get something cool 😉
Should Apple Learn from IBM?
So Bill Gates had a go at Apple’s commercials — good on him, I’d say! What is the big deal about Windows “borrowing” from Mac OS-X? Or any other system for that purpose? Do guys in Apple think that every company should only stick to their own internal ideas? How would they envisage progress in […]
