Re: Scribkin’s WordPress Plugins - Let Me Show You Them

eng1ne — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:45:42 -0000

I actually wrote this post over a year ago (5-17-08 to be precise) so the site has undergone many changes since then. Onle of the last changes I made was to go with a very light theme with no CSS so that people could choose their own font via their browser preference.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not using *any* plugins now.. In fact, I currently have 33 active plugins, including: Add to Any, Akismet, All In One SEO, Disqus and more.

Hm, I could probably stand to get rid of some of the older ones, though.

True, I have heard that TigerWoods is very good and probably worth $6 but I guess I'm just cheap. Now, $3.99 and I'm in. ;)

Thanks Scott! I do indeed. I am an experienced Linux and Windows system administrator, as well as a trainer and amateur DBA. Yay!

I hope so, Daniel, but UberVu is already aggregating everything that looks even vaguely like a comment on their servers. They've done that since before the Mashable integration, since their primary tool is a direct competitor to backtype connect.

But perhaps there is some ongoing work on the connection between Disqus and the UberVu engine that we aren't privy to. I don't see a mention of this new feature on the Disqus blog, after all.

WP-Cache is easy to turn off and on from the dashboard, so it shouldn't cost you anything in terms of functionality, even if it doesn't work.

Are you going to be at SXSW Interactive this year? That would be a good time.

It's actually a rocking chair. When the guy shifts his weight forward, the chair will roll on to its 'feet,' which in this case are attached to the footrest area. Then, he can just stand up.

The only thing he really has to worry about is not rolling back into full recline too fast, or he might shift the center of gravity too far back and end up mostly on his head. Still, the chair is not that high off the ground so it wouldn't tump over too quickly even in that case.

It just looks bizarre. I'm sure it's actually super-comfortable!

Thanks Felipe, I thought so too! I didn't actually take the picture, of course.. just found it on Flickr when doing a search for 'lamppost.'

These dogs are the breed Shiba Inu. They are very popular in Japan and are extremely smart dogs, with a strong personality. So, easy to train but also get bored easily.

Indeed it is, Michael. At least, recently discovered, as of an episode or two back. Regarding the Crash conversation, a message on Friendfeed or my personal email is absolutely acceptable!

Of course! If I could, I'd reblog like half of yours, Thomas', and a dozen other Flickr photographer's photos!

YES, gmail will give you the option to send mail from those other addresses. In fact I believe the default is that when replying gmail will use the address that the email was sent to as the 'from' address. make sense? Personally, I'd be afraid of making a mistake and sending an email from the wrong address but that decision is up to you I suppose. Let me know how it works for you ...

Re: A Few Tricks for Getting the Most from the Safari (3) Web Browser [Mac Tip]

fdavis — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:27:39 -0000

the easiest way is to press cmd-t in the new safari window. this creates two tabs in the new window. now you can drag the desired tab between the safari windows. then simply close the safari window containing only the empty tab.

good suggestion - in fact I used to use that method myself. however, there are two problems with it:
1) isn't really syncing, rather one way update
2) kills all authorization for gtalk - this one is the real annoyance since you'll have to reauthorize all your chat friends each time you update your contacts via AtoG

Thanks for the visit! I agree with you, I think Qwidget is an interesting and compelling social utility. I'm going to have fun discovering new uses for it in future blog posts!
