Update: This post has been replaced with an updated version. While creating a new theme for this site, I added some CSS styling around the page/post navigation links. For example, in my index.php page, I have the following HTML/WordPress code: <div class='navigation'> <span class='older'><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></span> <span class='newer'><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></span> </div> [...]
I finally got around to updating the theme for this site. It was quite an adventure learning about WordPress Themes and its API. The more I use WordPress, the more I like it! Thanks to my brother-in-law, Max, for helpful tips on my new logo and also to Michael Heilemann for his default WordPress theme, [...]
I wanted to check out the latest Ubuntu release, so I downloaded the following VMWare image: http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.zip After extracting the 2 files, I opened Ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.vmx in VMWare Player.

While developing a recent project at work, I had the need to display a modal dialog. I started using jQuery recently and so I started by looking for a jQuery modal dialog plugin. I did find a couple of existing ones (jqModal and BlockUI), but neither did exactly what I was looking for. So…I decided [...]
I’ve been playing with configuring WordPress (WP) for this site. After doing some research, I had a plan for how I wanted it to work. Basically, I wanted to use WP to manage my site (like a CMS) as well as for a blog. After a lot of trial and error, I think I’ve achieved [...]
Even with the volume turned off, if your PC has a system speaker, it can still emit a loud system beep. I was running some MySQL statements from the command line and every time there was an error…BEEP. To fix this, I could simply run the MySQL commands with the -b, –no-beep option, which turns [...]
