Installed Jon Abad‘s great LiveCalendar which puts Ajax (combination of XMLHTTPRequest and Javascript) to good use.
The downside is, the Coloured Calendar doesn’t work with LiveCalendar 1.6. I did get colors to work, but they won’t stick because of Ajax’s realtime data updating.
Anyone got any success out of this?
Took sometime to fiddle with the Search Box today to make it look like this:
Much to my dismay, this elegant look only works under Safari. Under any other browser, it’d look like any normal search box.
This All the other browsers blows!
Apple has an elegant solution at its Dashboard Widgets download site (upper right hand corner). But it involves image alignments… And I don’t really want mine to look like this:
(this was happened in Firefox after a search result was returned)
Thanks to Sebastian‘s recommendation, I installed WP Tiger Administration by Steve Smith today.
Life couldn’t have been better. WordPress should probably make WP Tiger Administration the standard WP dashboard panel for all future installations. The usability and ease of use have increased tremendously with this plugin; it actually makes WordPress administration fun! The interface looks so good that I want to spend more time there!
I no longer see any reason in using anything else. Damn it, I love Apple-inspired products!
I stumbled upon this great design company Firewheel Design. Their portfolio shows a very strong grasp of design and usability. Hopefully one of these days I can work on projects that can afford them.
PCWorld has a nice article (Mac Skeptic: Be a Blog Author) on various different applications available to post stuff to your own blog. The author compared the big four:
She ended up picking Ecto as her top choice, which is what I would have chosen given that it packs more useful features than the other ones. What’s especially nice is its integration to iPhoto. But I see the apps as something I’d use when I don’t have Internet access. Otherwise, using WordPress’ interface is still my weapon of choice.
UPDATE: Based on the recommendation made in the comment, I installed the WP Tiger Administration plugin (FREE). See my entry about the plugin here.
This is funny. A little Spanish humor? 🙂 Perhaps a little reversed psychology for the depressed ones. How can anyone take suicide seriously after taking a bath with this thing?
