Hey? Whats going on? Windows Vista is barely two years old and already the fellows at Richmond are talking about Windows Seven, not only is Window dissing Vista but user’s are not adopting the software as expected. Some people are already downgrading back to Windows XP, all this is happening and Mac is still doing those mac versus PC adverts, the bloodletting never ends.

Living in the United States has its risks,one such risk is that of getting sued. a year ago i got issued a “citizens” ticket, heck it cost me almost a thousand bucks but the experience is always worth, when getting sued information is a very big deal. Because the truth is “relative” and getting the most easilly verified data would do a lot for your case. Nowadays most data is digital. And getting Data which may have been deleted from hard drives is not a task for a novice, as you can attest to if you have have had to recover data from a formatted disk.

Changing WordPress Themes

I am changing my wordpress theme for one of my sites (www.phlameworks.com), because the current one (Mambopress 2.2) is giving me some headaches. It has the best layout, the three-column look I’ve always wanted, but I have the following issues with it

  1. Any plugins that depend on the is_single(), is_home() or is_archive() functions of wordpress are hopelessly broken.
  2. The fonts are just too small and ugly and painful on the eyes, and the stylesheet is too cluttered up for me to start editing. I am a programmer, not a layout specialist!
  3. I am bored with it - the colors were just depressing, I was tired of seeing just black-and-gray that I couldnt change.

It’s Cleaner and Faster

The Wordpress Dasboard has been screaming “Ella is out, 11 days ago” since God knows when. I’m not really a fave of the “upgrade as soon as a new version is out” thing, because when you get used to a programming tool, and the software company says they have a new version which may change the way you work, it gets to me. For instance it took me a long time to accept VB.NET. Even now I use C# more, cos it’s a new thing instead of a modified tool. I was skeptical about upgrading, because the version numbers werent so different. Ok, so I just upgraded to wordpress 2.1.

WordPress Plugins to Have

It’s been over seven months now since I got acquainted with the simplicity of Wordpress. I have seen sites that did not have the default theme or 2-column layout, had well-organised pages and other funny tricks that made me wonder if I could get more out of my installation. I got introduced to the wordpress plugins much later, after moving my blog from wordpress.com to a paid webhost.

Ubuntu Linux 5 tryout

After I lost my Fedora Core 3 CDs due to poor storage, I started hunting for places to get a replacement. Somehow, nobody in my immediate vicinity even knew anything about linux. I had a few LiveCD ISO’s on hard disk (SuSE 9.2 Live, DSL, SLAX 5.0, Mandrake Live, Tomsrtbt, etc), but using them made me feel somehow crippled. I needed a fully fledged distro i could install, with GCC, Wine, KDE, XMMS, video codecs, full suite of network tools, and drivers for my Wireless LAN Card (i hate having to compile drivers if i can avoid it). Asking around was fruitless - people were like “Linux? huh? what’s that?” And my poor shared 64Kbps connection could not download the 5 FC3 ISO’s. What a shame. I was strolling the corridors of Nairaland When i noticed that someone mentioned that there was a company, www.canonical.com, that was shipping Linux CDs for free, to anywhere in the world. The distro name? Ubuntu Linux.
