I was reading this article and, in my opinion, it got the facts right but their conclusion is backwards: Meanwhile, whilst this particular unlock is the simplest, it also carries with it element of risk that you’re going to want to protect yourself against. What? No that’s not the correct conclusion. A conclusion that would make more sense is that [...]
Today, I am venturing outside my usual programming and open-source path and I am going to share my experience speeding up my iPhone with you. I am not going to write a long article where I copy/paste what everybody else has already written about how slow iPhone 3G’s can get when running iOS4. It is now a well established fact. [...]
That’s something I had to do myself recently. It was not quite as painful as I feared it to be. My aging WordPress install had certainly gone through its share of hacking: I started with a 1.x version, added multi-blog plugins, uninstalled them, moved to WordPress MU, then back to single-blog WordPress. In the process I wrote scripts to rename [...]
I am a huge fan of SuperGenPass. There are so many obvious reasons why it’s a great concept that I won’t bore you with a rehash of all of them. Unfortunately, in Google Chrome, SuperGenPass chokes on some pages. I do not blame Chrome for that: it’s for security reasons. I’ve patched the basic version of SuperGenPass so that it [...]
Beta 4 is out and it is *very* sweet. It even offers Gmail integration like never before. Well, if you have a @gmail.com account, that is. But don’t worry! If you have a Google App account, it can be made to work with little extra work. Here is how: 1. You need a standard @gmail.com account. Create a bogus one [...]
If, like me, your company’s insistence on using Sharepoint as an Intranet tool contributes to rapid neurons death, there is as least a glimmer of hope: you can still use Firefox without being punished by having to type raw HTML code when editing a page (Sharepoint, unsurprisingly, only likes IE) Simple steps to use your own rich-text editor: Install Xinha [...]
I have no idea why but sometimes a .dmg file will just-not-mount. For instance I just downloaded the latest PostBox from http://postbox-inc.com/ and the silly little image will *not* cooperate. My amazingly quick’nt dirty workaround? Convert it to another format file (using the command-line)! ?View Code BASHhdiutil convert postbox-1.0b12-mac.dmg -format UDTO -o postbox_iso var wordpress_toolbar_urls = ["http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/35237092727@N01\/256597423\/","http:\/\/postbox-inc.com\/"];var wordpress_toolbar_url = “http://nexus.zteo.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php”;var [...]
Sunday Hacking is going to be this new and irregular feature, where I blather about how I made my week-end a bit geekier by doing such or such hardware hack. I do not guarantee originality, nor much software-related content. If you’re not into that kind of thing, I promise that it shouldn’t feel much worse than a flu shot. [...]
