WordPress › Post Templates « WordPress Plugins

by mozkart (via)
It happens quite often that a blogger publishes posts or static pages on a regular basis which have the same structure. Think about for example a "picture of the day" daily post. With current wordpress state, we need to spend a lot of time doing copy/paste between posts instead of actually writing content. All the instructions for installation, the support forums, etc. can be found on the plugin home page. IMPORTANT: LICENSE CHANGE Since version 4.0.0, the plugin has become a commercial plugin. It can be ordered (for cheap) on the plugin home page. Version 3.4.x will remain available for download for free on the WordPress plugin repository. No further development will be made on this version.

Sibe 2009

by karlcow

Infrastructure provides the basic needs for society, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health and well-being of a society. For developing countries, the civil and environmental engineer are at the epicenter in seeking means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.

The current rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated with environmental degradation such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, etc.

In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, proper planning, implementation and verification exercises are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach. The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.

LESS - Leaner CSS

by srcmax & 4 others
LESS extends CSS with: variables, mixins, operations and nested rules. Best of all, LESS uses existing CSS syntax. This means you can rename your current .css files to .less and they'll just work.

Getting multiple master password prompts when loading several tabs at startup

HTML5 Validator Needs Updating. from Maykel Loomans on 2009-10-20 (www-validator@w3.org from October 2009)

by night.kame

Ever since the HTML5 footer has been redefined I have changed the markup of http://www.miekd.com/

At the current stage, the validator has still not been updated to

match this spec change. I am aware of the giant draft/beta sticker on

the validator, but I would really love to have an up-to-date validator.

Encore un qui n'a rien compris à HTML 5, mwahahahaha.

MySQL-Memcached or NOSQL Tokyo Tyrant – part 2 | MySQL Performance Blog

by karlcow

A couple of good things to remember here: #1 resolving 1 bottleneck can open another bottleneck that is much worse. #2 is to understand that not all API’s are created equal. Additionally the configuration and setup that works well on one system may not work well on another. Because of this people often leave lots of performance on the table. Don’t just trust that your current API or config is optimal, test and make sure it fits your application.

Coding from Scratch: A Conversation with Virtual Reality Pioneer Jaron Lanier, Part One

by karlcow & 1 other

answer Right. And it results in a type of error that doesn't teach you anything. You have chaotic errors where all you can say is, "Boy, this was really screwed up, and I guess I need to go in and go through the whole thing and fix it." You don't have errors that are proportionate to the source of the error. And that means you can never have any sense of gradual evolution or approximate systems. So, the real difference between the current idea of software, which is protocol adherence, and the idea I'm discussing, pattern recognition, has to do with the kinds of errors we're creating. We need a system in which errors are more often proportional to the source of the error.

Pagezipper extension automatically loads "next page" links

by decembre
PageZipper automatically loads the contents of "next page" links right underneath the current page, so you can scroll down instead of clicking through. It's quite similar to another extension called AutoPager, and I like that it doesn't show its page breaks the way AutoPager does. Where PageZipper hasn't caught up with AutoPager yet is in the way it deals with tricky "next page" links. AutoPager lets you find them manually and train it, while PageZipper relies on its own (granted, very good) autodetection.

Chromium Blog: Introducing Google Chrome Frame

by srcmax & 3 others

Today, we're releasing an early version of Google Chrome Frame, an open source plug-in that brings HTML5 and other open web technologies to Internet Explorer.

With Google Chrome Frame, developers can now take advantage of the latest open web technologies, even in Internet Explorer. From a faster Javascript engine, to support for current web technologies like HTML5's offline capabilities and canvas, to modern CSS/Layout handling, Google Chrome Frame enables these features within IE with no additional coding or testing for different browser versions.

Our Causes: Internet Health Check

by srcmax

You're not alone. According to a 2009 Forrester Research study, 60 percent of companies are using IE6 as their default browser at work, as their IT departments are reluctant to upgrade and support a current browser. If you're in this situation, we've put together a letter you can pass on to your IT department. Just copy and paste it into an e-mail and customize it as you see fit. Get your colleagues to send a letter too.

Cocoa with Love: WhereIsMyMac, a Snow Leopard CoreLocation project

by karlcow

In Snow Leopard, you can ask for the computer's location. Without a GPS, how accurate could that be? The answer in my case is: very accurate. In this post, I'll show you how to write a CoreLocation app for the Mac that shows the current location in Google Maps, so you can see exactly where your computer thinks it is.

Stupid Squidoo Tricks - Publicize Your Lenses

by access2
Due to the current economic downturn, I've been dusting off my neglected Squidoo "lenses" (articles). This one reminded me why I changed over to blogspot in the first place. Virtually any creative means of publicizing your pages can and most probably will be declared "illegal" by Squidoo. (The word is prohibited.) Other sites manage to create acceptable use policies and stick to them.

New ELI 7 Things... Brief Explores Data Visualization II | EDUCAUSE

by karlcow

Data visualization is the use of tools to represent data in the form of charts, maps, tag clouds, animations, or any graphical means that make content easier to understand. Graphic representations of data are popular because they open up the way we think about data, reveal hidden patterns, and highlight connections among elements. Because current web applications allow anyone with access to data to enter information and easily create a virtualization of it, students, informal learners, and the purely curious can now easily create visualizations that might reveal trends that were not obvious from the numbers alone.

by decembre
This works on AutoPager 0.5.1.4 or newer version. This is the recording of the steps to create the rule for http://www.pspad.com/en/pspad-extensions.php. This demo shows how to create AutoPager rules for the pages which don't have "Next" in links. They only have a navbar includes all the page numbers like this: Page: [1], 2, 3, 4. The final link xpath get in this tutorial is: //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] Steps explains: //div[@id='obspoz']/p :select the navbar. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text() : select the texts in the navbar since current page number does not have a node //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')] : select the text for the current page number. It will be easier if the current page number has a node, for example if it's a span with class='current': //div[@id='obspoz']/p/span[@class='current']. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] : select the first link after the current page number text.
