Found today a handy little program for testing websites in multiple versions of IE

I’m a list writer.

I am constantly writing and rewriting lists to try and organise myself. Someone sent me a link to this list/task manager called Remember the Milk. You can easily add tasks, get reminders via sms, email, instant messenger, add tasks while out and about…the list goes on!

This is amazing - satellites have been able to detect lakes hundreds of square miles across, up to 700 metres below Antarctica’s ice

Hopefully someone else might find this bit of code handy too. I used it in a shell script to get the oldest numbered file in a series of files (eg the oldest file from a set of file_1.gif, file_2.gif, file_3.gif, file_4.gif etc)

ls /mnt/nfs/data/file_*.gif –sort=time | tail -1 | cut -d _ -f 2 | cut -d . -f 1

I came across this idea and absolutely love it. One of the biggest issues with normal consumers using solar power are the costs and expertise required for installing and maintaining solar systems in a home. This concept by a company called Citizenrē allows people to rent solar panels for a fixed monthly rate.

Citizenre pays for, installs, owns and operates and solar installation - all you need to do is pay the fixed monthly rate which is set when you sign up for a 1, 5 or 25 year contract. This means as energy prices go up, you’ll be paying less for your electricity while reducing your greenhouse emissions at the same time.

Now all we need is this concept to work in Australia…

I use a module called IMCE to upload images via Drupal. It is a neat plugin that works with TinyMCE.

When installing IMCE with Drupal 5, remember to copy to this directory: drupal/sites/all/modules/ rather than the main modules directory under drupal/modules. This path has changed since Drupal 4.x

Refugees United is an online not for profit organisation that helps refugees search for family, friends, loved ones…and you can stay as anonymous as you wish.

You can register as a missing person or search for missing people.

Nifty Corners is a solution to getting those rounded corners you see on web pages without the images. The library consists of a javascript and css file. The results are fantastic, you can round buttons, divs, columns…go crazy!

I had some problems installing the TinyMCE editor tool with Drupal 5. Anyway, it seems the theme I was using for the website was causing the problem. You can read more in this Drupal forum discussion.

I love this idea!! The name grabs me as well
Crazy Egg provides visual tools to let you see where your visitors and going and clicking on the site. You can see the popularity of each different element..it even offers a heatmap overlay to see the hottest spots on each page!!
