Due to my huge love with Amarok and recent yachting activities I will be downloading the latest 1.4.6 release of this amazing software as soon as possible at least for it\’s logo

Firefox Universal Uploader
Found a very nice Firefox extension for uploading files to flickr and youtube: Firefox Universal Uploader. It provides some nice features like more filemanager like interface for mentioned services, as well as shows the progress of uploads and so on. Finally it allows me to manage files on flickr and youtube from within Firefox without installing some additional standalone software.
The Perfect Server with Fedora 7
Howto forge is hosting a very nice and strait forward article on how to setup the most needed installation of Fedora 7 based server, which will include web, ftp, mail and database servers. It is also possible to install the ISPConfig to run out-of-the-box on such setup. I think this is what most of the people will like since mostly they need a web site hosting/development platform.
The only three notes about HowTo (all of them are optional and just other ways to do things):
- It mentions the chkconfig –level 235 servicename on command. You can skip the –level 235 argument and by default get it to 2345.
- All service starting/restarting activities are described by using the /etc/init.d/servicename start/restart action. In Fedora one may just use the service servicename start/restart command.
- I strongly advice installing bash-completion package, especially when working a lot in CLUE, since it will speed up things as well as help with finding out possible commands arguments.
WP Plugins problem solved
I have finally found what was wrong with some plugins (including SK2) on my WP installation. First of all, a couple of times I was receiving the error that running script had exceeded the max amount of allowed memory (which was 8M), while trying to push 14M, so I just increased the number to 16M in the /etc/php.ini.
Second, I have increased the size of the output buffer, which is initially 4096, to 8192. The idea is that output buffer allows scripts to issue headers after (or in the middle) of the content outputting. This is done by buffering the content output, then catching the header, displaying it and then displaying the content. In my case I had a problem: while trying to activate some plugins, I was given a dialog to download the plugin.php file. This behavior was caused by wrong/missing header, because the amount of buffered data was exceeding 4096 bytes. By doubling this amount I solved all my problems for the time being.
Site modifications
Here we go, some more modifications on this blog:
- Â It seems that I have finally found a nice theme: Lorem Ipsum v1.2.7 by Brajeshwar which I have modified here and there to match me (including the addition of the top widget where I have placed a flickr badge, adjusting the CSS and some more).
- I have started writting an About Me page which I hope will become somehow more consistent and full in a time. I am also planning for some additional pages later on (hopefully).
- As I have mentioned in point 1, I have created a widget for displaying the badge from my flickr page.
- The links (including blogroll and others) were recategorized. I have also added/removed some and I am planning to create a full blogroll page later on where I will place the whole bunch of links I am reading and watching on a daily basis.
I think that more changes will be comming from time to time. Meanwhile, if you see any bugs/mistypes/misbihaviours, please fill free to let me know so I can review and correct em all.
