ajb{log}: learn something new each day

Holy Shmoly! posted an update on WordPress MU that is already version 2.6 beta 1.

Download wordpress-mu-2.6-beta1.zip

For the geeks out there, here are the changes.

I get feeds from Ajaxian daily and love the posts there. It was surprising to see today that I got a post marred with Viagra and Cialis links. (See below)

Were they hacked? Or did somebody accidentally copy/pasted a JS code or a hidden div on the post? In any event, hope they can fix this soon.

Oh and one more thing to note — Google Reader allowed it to show. Ungh!

Will be rebooting this theme sometime soon. It has been quite sometime now since I changed a WP theme. I’m currently looking for a very minimalist, simple and clean 3 column theme that will fit my blogging need.

Please throw me a comment if you’ve found something for me.

Thanks.

There is a new blog in town - Tech Blog Philippines (www.techblog.ph). I’m one of the contributors on the group of popular tech bloggers in the Philippines. There’s just a lot of them to mention here.

Tech Blog Philippines (TBP) just started and still oiling the engines to the blog and will soon be up to speed. We’re promising lots of new stuff on this blog.

TBP is being spearheaded by the same cool guys at PinoyBlogosphere. Watch this space, it’s gonna be fun!

Web developers know this for sure. But for the rest, this is how you get FriendFeed’s 5-day summary (or 2-day, 3-day… 29-day).

Just change that number (it’s called parameter value) on the URL (web address). Like this:

http://friendfeed.com/summary?days=5

This is useful if you want to get only days from Mon-Fri. FriendFeed should allow users to filter the feeds by date. Hope it helps somebody.

Guys, do you remember Konami’s Contra? It’s the same cheat code! Use it on Google Reader to show the easter egg.

Each one of the above is a separate plugin to that site admins can pick and choose which components they want.

What is hab.la? Hab.la is a lightweight method to chat with visitors to your website using your existing instant messaging client. Visitors to your website appear as buddies on your Buddy list, their messages to you appear as IMs.

It sits on your site’s bottom right corner. If your site’s guest wanted some real time help or question about your site, they just have to click the floating bar.

It’s also can be fully integrated to your favorite jabber IM client like adium, pidgin, meebo, etc. Hab.la works with most websites such as wordpress, blogger, drupal, joomla, typepad, etc.

A very cool project by only 3 core members. Very useful.

To all WP fans out there, the latest version is out. It was scheduled 2 weeks ago but I guess some stability work was needed to be ironed out.

We love you Wordpress!
