Gravatars now supported.
Friday, June 13th, 2008I know this is soooo last year, but I just found out about Gravatars. So I hacked* our Wordpress theme to support them.
For those who don’t know, a gravatar is an avatar that you register with a speicific email address through http://en.gravatar.com/.
So when you participate in a comunity that supports gravatars, your specific one will show next to your contribution.
So go register your avatar now and then post a comment here to show it off.
* (sorry creative team, I used tables for layout because my css-foo is lacking)
PHP is a framework?
Monday, June 9th, 2008I ran in to an interesting read this morning at sitepoint. The general idea I got from the post is that PHP handles common web development tasks for you (HTTP Headers, Query String parsing, Post Data parsing, etc) and is therefore a framework.
“So the next time you’re on the lookout for a PHP framework to build your killer app on, consider using the best framework of them all: PHP. It will give you the freedom to achieve what you want, how you want, with results.”
The End Is Nigh
Sunday, June 8th, 2008Not the end of the world, the end of the internet. The issue is no net neutrality. No rules at all about what ISPs can or can’t do with your traffic. Most people have probably seen this scary image of a possible reality:
Turning awesome up to 11.
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Since I’ve been living (very happily mind you) in Linux for the last couple months I’ve had to start remote desktoping for some daily tasks that have to be done in Windows. Other Linux users here battled at times for that remote connection to the XP box.
So I got tired of that and discovered some software called synergy. And my awesome went awesomer. Synergy allows you to control multiple computers from one keyboard/mouse. You tell it which direction the monitors are from each other and then it works. To switch from my Linux monitor to my Windows monitor, I just move the mouse off the right edge of the Linux monitor and it appears on the Windows monitor. Same thing for moving to the Mac, but off the left edge.
