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, […]
Solar System Live
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
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 […]
Jek sie masz!
Don’t know about you, but I went and saw the movie Borat this weekend, after all the hype that was built around it. And I must say it is extremely funny! While I was amused before by his “Russian” language which turns out to be Polish (ask any Polish guy how do you say “Thanks” […]
My Other Vehicle Is on Its Way to Pluto…
Check out the cool bumper sticker from the “New Horizons” mission: Read the whole article here and if you find how can I buy one of those stickers let me know 😉
“Caring for the Environment” in the Hospitality Industry
How come that (nearly) every single hotel / guest house / B & B nowadays displays a little note in the shower regarding “caring for the environment”? The note is pretty standard and asks guests for support in protecting the environment to the extent of re-using the towels if possible for an extra day so […]
Firefox 2.0 and Existing Plugins/Extensions
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, […]
Messenger Reaches Venus
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, […]
Speaking of Amazon-WordPress Integration…
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
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 […]
