Google just updated the Dev Channel (see release notes) and there are some interesting bit in store for the "I need to be in Sync" crowd. (Kind of reminds of Jason Fox's latest blog post on TR). No longer is it just bookmarks that can be synchronized but also preferences, themes and auto fill. Check the following screenshot from the latest release:The wrench menu was also changed to reflect this

Recently I'm impressed more and more with Google's Chrome browser. All kinds of small touches present themselves from time to time. I've noticed the tab closing behaviour recently pointed out by theinvisibl. What I want to point out though, is the behaviour of Chrome when you click on a HTTPS link and the server responds with in HTTP. Here is an example:Take care to notice how HTTPS in stricken

Another week another Vista enhancement found. Well, to be honest I did not find this issue this week, rather I was looking for a "fix". Since I did not find such I decided to share my wonderful experience."Bug" in question concerns a number of buttons from the keyboard of my work Lenovo T61 with Vista SP1 installed. The actual problem rears its ugly head if you use more than one keyboard layout

WordPress has now approved my plug-in hosting request. The plug-in is called Logo Candy (for a lack of a better name) and its primary purpose is to allow one to change the logo, the logo's description and redirect link on the WP log-in page. Now for some more details:General idea:Since its birth in my mind this plug-in's purpose was to provide you with the aforementioned abilities. I know there

Recently I had to do some to work on projects that utilized WordPress as a back-end. While not large-scale projects these got me interested in WordPress (referred to as WP from now on for simplicity's sake). All of the projects required, amongst other things, re-branding of the traditional WP interface both front-end theme and back-end.Doing it once was not that big of nuisance but a few times

Following the financial crisis most people seem to have forgotten the energy crisis and the high petrol prices (it even rhymes, wow). These guys from Belgium have not. Check out these two really good commercials:I just wish there were more such. It would be nice if we could actually follow the message from the commercial too. From what I know in Belgium you can really take the bus to work, school

I appreciate the work Microsoft is putting behind Windows 7 right now. I also appreciate all the work gone into Vista and its service packs. However I have had quite a few battles with the new Vista my employer forced us to use about 9 months ago. It is not all Microsoft's fault though, there are other more "prominent" software developers out there that I think take pride in writing the most

Pylons is moving along nicely and I am delighted by that fact. The Pylons book was recently sent for publishing. Pylons itself reached the final RC versions. Christmas is coming. What more could one want. Fine maybe not everything is going that smooth but at least we can pretend.Without further general talk the topic for today: Pylons and PIL in a virtualenv.I am on an Ubuntu machine with the

I am not really fond of Joomla or PHP for that matter. I am more of a Python kind of guy. I like things being ordered and symmetric. To the point...Recently I needed to craft a site for a friend's business in a hurry. I had some experience with writing/debugging PHP before but more importantly I have used Mambo and Joomla before. Need to make something clear: I have been using both as an end user

There were times where Linux was just a dot on the radar. Back in those old days you were to be happy if you could get X (XFree86 was it called?) running, let alone play videos or heavens forbid, games. Years came and went Linux evolved and so did its window manager, desktop environments and graphical user interface software. In recent years everyone is singing a happy song about a mythical

I am a Fedora user for quite a while now - roughly a decade. I have followed though the development of this nice operating system since RedHat Linux 5.2, I think. Let me tell you I am a fan! I have had the occasional flirts with other distributions (ZenWalk, Slackware, Ubuntu I am looking at you) but in the end I always returned to the venrable Fedora. I have been in the ups and downs, through

With my first post I would like to clarify the intent and purpose of this blog.I will be sharing my thoughts (and that is mine only) on Information Technology. Occasionally you will be able to find reviews of different software - from operating systems to general purpose applications. I will share my experience with problems I have faced in my IT life. Other bits and pieces may find their way in
