Google just added some pretty neat stuff on their search called SearchWiki. If you are signed in with your Google account and perform a basic search you will see some new buttons on each of the results. These allow you to rearrange your results so that next time you search for the same keywords you [...]
In a recent post on Google’s Webmaster Center Blog (by the way, if you own any site, that blog is a must for your feed reader) it seems that they are really into creating a relationship with site owners. What is now only a test will eventually evolve into constant alerts about potential vulnerabilities in [...]
After some unsuccessful searching for a website thumbnail service I found SnapCasa. The free version lets you use 100000 thumb requests per month without watermarks. If you combine this with some server side script to cache and serve the image directly from your server you have nothing to worry about. Another thing I needed was [...]
A couple of days ago I placed a new forum-like message system I’ve been working on at dirpedia.ro. At the moment it’s pretty much a basic “guestbook with categories” but there are some nice features such as dynamic permalink generated for each thread/forum based on its title. I’ve tried to keep AJAX to a minimum [...]
Today, my new mobile phone arrived (with a 2 day delay) from emag. Maybe I’ll post a review in the following days about it, but now it seems like a good moment to look back at my old one and write a few words.
This is going to be a guide for begginers, so don’t take it personal if I go into dumb details. I am assuming that you have a basic LAMP configuration (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) with a web administration interface such as cPanel. All the following scenarios will require you to edit the .htaccess file in [...]
Yesterday, I went out for a quick shopping spree. As I passed a small Orange shop I decided to have a look at their offer since my current phone has far passed it’s “throw away” date. After a few moments, while trying to convince myself, I finally agreed to make the purchase. Now comes the [...]
I’ve just stumbled upon a really useful site for cleaning stuff. The “stuff” being everything from household items to laptops, cars or pets. As far as the design, it’s is very clean and uncluttered, with pictures on each article. URL – http://www.howtocleanstuff.net
No doubt the biggest hype around the web these days is the launch of Google’s own web browser: Chrome. Introduced as a sleek and very fast web browser (in terms of rendering), it follows the simplistic lines of Google’s other products. There are only three toolbars: the tabs, address and bookmarks (yep, no title bar [...]
Recently, I signed up for an ebanking account at ING. The first thing I’ve noticed was the digipass (scroll down for pictures) they gave me free of charge. It seems they don’t trust their clients enough to let them use one static password for account access. But that is… a good thing — although I’d rather [...]
