BlogPress and joomla 1.0.15 PDF Print E-mail
iPhone
Friday, 08 May 2009
I purchased BlogPress, which is an iPhone blog tool that works with Joomla using the meta weblog plugin, as well as other common APIs, but I am not a fan of Joomla 1.5 so I got a copy of Movabletype 2.2.1 mambot for Joomla 1.0.13+, the authors site is unaccessable, but he responded to an e-mail and sent me a copy of the extension. I set Joomla up in BlogPress as movabletype and it works perfectly. I'm using mamblog component as my blog and it posts there just fine also. I set my default category in the movabletype mambot settings, but you are not able to select other categories in the BlogPress app. That sucks, but I found away around that limitation by chaging the category in the movabletype mambot on Joomla and making a new connection in BlogPress! I did this for all the categories I want to blog to. I simply select the connection to the category I wish to blog to.


So now the bugs, newlines not showing up, this post consists of four paragraphs, but as you can see they are all slammed together. The second issue is posting to the front page, I set mamblog to show posts on the front page by default as this component has a setting for that, but it doesn't work. - Mohawke
 
Wubi (K)Ubuntu Installer PDF Print E-mail
Software
Tuesday, 05 May 2009
This blew me away, a Windows installer and uninstaller for Linux! Back in the day BeOS could be installed and ran right from Windows, but LiveCD took over the need allowing users to try before committing a foriegn OS to hard disk. But, what about people that are willing to install, but are concerned about their Windows installation and never click the Install icon in the LiveCD? Problem solved, Ubuntu or Kubuntu Linux now has an installer called Wubi.

Collect Scheduled Task Info With Python PDF Print E-mail
Python
Saturday, 28 March 2009

If you ever needed to see if a Window's scheduled task failed for reporting purposes like I do then read on... I wrote this script because some weekends we get failed tasks, still tracking that down, and I want to see them all quickly and easily when I get into the office. I may actually write a script to rerun the tasks that fail at some point. Currently I simply report these in a web page, but you can just as easily send an e-mail, add it to a log or reporting application. You can also schedule tasks by adding the switches to do so without much work and it will collect this inforamtion off remote servers/workstations. 

By the time I get this script finished and polished it should prove to be a great resource and I hope someone can make use of this example. Have fun!

Boxee PDF Print E-mail
Software
Friday, 20 March 2009
Awhile ago I posted about media center software and not much has changed, but one application I have decided to stick with is one I hadn't mentioned, Boxee. Boxee is built off of XBMC a media center originally built for the XBox, which now includes Linux, OS X, and Windows versions as well. It's a nice piece of software as is and open source.

CSS 100% height on div + floating sticky footer PDF Print E-mail
Miscellaneous
Friday, 20 February 2009

I was making a template and decided to go with DIVs rather than tables. Everything was fine, but I couldn't get 100% height and also had issues with the footer. I noticed a lot of people having this same issue, but all the "fixes" and examples I found sucked. Here is how I got around the issue. Tested in IE 7/8 and Firefox 3
