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 […]

Should Apple Learn from IBM?

Posted by & filed under , , .

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 […]

“Piracy Worked for Us”

Posted by & filed under , , .

So, according to President Basescu piracy worked for Romania by helping the country grow a very vibrant technology industry. Being a Romanian myself and having “enjoyed” partially during my student years the “privilege” of pirate copies (mainly because there were no dedicated shops at the time where you could acquire a software with a license […]

Customize Your SquirrelMail Login Page

Posted by & filed under , , .

If you’re using SquirrelMail then you are probably a bit fed up with the plain look-and-feel of the product. I’m not against it, it’s just that it DOES look kind of amateurish, unfortunately 🙁 While there is currently work in progress to make it more customizable and skinnable and so on in a future release, […]

SquirrelMail Autocomplete for Firefox

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 […]

WordPress and IFRAMEs

Posted by & filed under , .

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 […]

Customizing AdSense

Posted by & filed under , , .

I like the fact that Google’s AdSense offers the possibility to change the colors of the ads, so it doesn’t break a site theme — that’s always good. However I am not pleased at all with not being able to change the bloody fonts 🙁 After all, their ads will always read “Ads by Google” […]
