The funny thing about WordPress is the way it behaves differently across my different webhosts – Dreamhost, Media Temple and A Small Orange. My food blog is hosted on MT. Before I manually upgraded it to WordPress 2.7, it was languishing in the old 2.3 version. Back then when 2.3 was the “in thing” it… Continue reading Some Nagging WordPress Issues I’ll Help You Solve
Daily Top 10 Posts Version 0.6 Etc.
I updated Daily Top 10 Posts to version 0.6. It includes only a couple of minor fixes, albeit aesthetic ones. I added the ability to set how many top posts will appear on the sidebar and dashboard. Does that mean I have to rename the plugin to Daily Top Posts? 😛 You need to open… Continue reading Daily Top 10 Posts Version 0.6 Etc.
Air and Simple Gifts MP3 Download
[photopress:air_and_simple_gifts.jpg,full,centered] I’m happy to share an MP3 of John Williams’ beautiful arrangement, “Air and Simple Gifts”, played moments before Barack Hussein Obama took his oath as the 44th President of the United States. The musical ensemble is nothing to scoff at — the legendary cellist Yo-yo Ma, Israeli-American Itzhak Perlman on the violin, Venezuelan-American pianist… Continue reading Air and Simple Gifts MP3 Download
Ratified.org Update on Migrated Feedburner Feeds
My Feedburner control panel informs me that it’s time to move my accounts to Google. In my post before regarding Google Feedproxy, I weighed the pros and cons of moving to Google. We don’t have a choice after all. By hook or by crook, Google aims to have everything moved by February 28, 2009. The… Continue reading Ratified.org Update on Migrated Feedburner Feeds

Quick update for Daily Top 10 Posts plugin users who recently switched to WordPress 2.7.

Max’s Restaurant’s 3-Day Online Delivery Service
My friend RJ asked me a while ago if I knew of a restaurant in Manila that delivers and accepts payments through Paypal. He said Max’s Restaurant did, but him and his friend didn’t feel like eating chicken tonight. I asked my friends on Plurk if they knew of any. Gail pointed out something odd… Continue reading Max’s Restaurant’s 3-Day Online Delivery Service
Google Feedproxy: Should You Switch?
Back at Ratified.org, I noticed a handful of blogs whose Feedburner statistics have stopped updating. I looked into it and saw that all of their feeds have switched to a somewhat peculiar URL: http://feedproxy.google.com/xxxxxxx. Because of that, their Awareness API, the place where Ratified.org grabs all the feed statistics, are no longer working. For a… Continue reading Google Feedproxy: Should You Switch?
Google Search Results with Discussion and Forum Data
Google now features metadata crawled from forums and discussion sites in its search results. These include the number of posts from the target page, the number of authors, and the date of last post. Here’s a sample result I get when searching for Windows Vista Problems:
Is Terraforming Possible?
With approximately 6.7 billion humans inhabiting the Earth today and as I think of the global warming hoopla it’s apparent that dry space here on our planet is running thin. Land reclamation is an option but that can only go so far. At the rate that our seas are rising, more drastic steps must ensure… Continue reading Is Terraforming Possible?
