It’s been decided, the theme of this weblog will change. Yes I know I have been saying this for sometime now but now I have a date. That marvellous date is 1st Jan 2007.

So get your diaries, iCals, GCals out or whatever way you use to make note of things and take a note to visit this weblog back on the 1st of Jan 2007. Also note that you might see changes before that in order to get some bugs out of the way. If you would like to see how development is going you can check out my development weblog. Not all changes are made on that weblog though.

So for the next few weeks we have a lot of programming, and you should expect things not to be working as they should ;).

For the interest to those who care both of my plugins (Current Mood and Image2Post) have a newer version that utilises the new javascript functions in wordpress 2.0+ and also adds dimensions (height and width) to the images so that your code will be more valid.

Note: The update is recommeded for all current users of the plugins.

For the interest to those who care both of my plugins (Current Mood and Image2Post) have a newer version that utilises the new javascript functions in wordpress 2.0. They will be realised as soon as the new version currently named 2.0.1 is released.

Note: The update offers only a better layout than the current version 2.2.

Just managed to do tar.gz archive using the command tar -czf archivename.tar.gz foo where foo is the file or folder to be archived. Now the only problem is I don’t really know if it’s the right way :). Anyway as long as it works…

Update: code changed to tar -czf archivename.tar.gz foo after comment from Leonid.

I found this excellent tip in Leonid’s blog and he found it in Ovid’s LiveJournal. I am posting it here as well because I think that the more people find out about it, more people will use firefox.

And if you use Firefox, here’s a tip that many don’t seem to know about: keywords.

Let’s say that you’re constantly searching images.google.com. Go there and type a search for “daisies” and bookmark the resulting page. Then, goto Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks and select the bookmark you just saved. Ricght-click the bookmark and select Properties (or Edit -> Properties from the Manage Bookmarks menu). In the resulting dialog box, you can edit Name, Location, Keyword and Description. The Location will look something like this:

[code]http://images.google.com/images?q=daisies&btnG=Search+Images[/code]

In that URL, find the word you searched for (daisies, in this case) and replace it with %s:

[code]http://images.google.com/images?q=%s&&btnG=Search+Images[/code]

Then, type images in the keyword field. Click OK.

When you’re back at the browser, you can now just type images followed by what you want to search for and you’ll go straight to the google images page for that. Try it with images puppies, for example. This technique will work for just about any site where you can search.
