MileWideBack Firefox extension

Yet another potenti And whad­dya know, it turns out to be yet another essen­tial exten­sion (as far as I’m con­cerned). The premise of MileWide­Back is sim­ple: you use the left-edge of the Fire­fox win­dow to nav­i­gate back and forth in your tab his­tory. Con­tinue read­ing →

Extending the range of non-Apple APs using AirPort Express

October 14, 2004 pollas

Since the Apple Express Assis­tant will only auto­mat­i­cally detect Apple wire­less net­works, you have to install the device ini­tially (using an Eth­er­net cable from your router) as its own net­work. Once you have done that you can step back in using the Apple Admin Util­ity to join your cur­rent net­work (you will need to type the name of the net­work in man­u­ally). Con­tinue read­ing →

Blog redesign, episode 3

September 28, 2004 pollas

I’ve renamed the moblog to ‘cam­blog’ (thoughts on that here), changed tem­plates accord­ingly and put a redi­rect line in my .htac­cess file which will hope­fully keep the thou­sands of sub­scribers to my very impor­tant image feed.… How­ever, I did remove some stuff from the side­bar; var­i­ous links not updated for ages, my blogroll (weblogs from my old Bloglines-account) and searches and ref­er­ers (sic!)

Moblogging

September 23, 2004 pollas

More on that later; I’ll do a seper­ate post includ­ing a to do-ish wish­list with fea­tures etc. Back to the moblogging-discussion: I agree that the ‘mo(bile)’ in ‘moblog­ging’ should be taken seri­ously; you can moblog every­thing (audio, video, images etc.) and not only from mobile phones — I would say that every mobile device counts.… It’s an image blog main­tained from a mobile phone but should prob­a­bly be renamed to ‘images on the go’ or some­thing sim­i­lar, allow­ing for a proper photo log (decent pic­tures taken with a real cam­era) and text-only mobile posts to the main blog.

Comment spam — you’re either with us or against us

Kalsey on a new com­ment spam tech­nique In the war on spam if you are not for us; if you choose to look the other way and allow spam­mers to use your site; if you feel that keep­ing your site free from spam is too much trou­ble — you are against us. It’s about appa­rantly decent links to decent sites, the catch being that those sites have loads of spam already there. Google juice at work… Con­tinue read­ing →
