For Google and my forgetful self:
To merge two contacts in Kopete into one, right click on the contact you wish to be added to the other, go to the protocol menu (usually last) and choose *Change Meta Contact*. Now search and pick the one you want to add it to.
I’ve had to redo my contact list a few times, and I’d been doing it to most braindead of ways: Removing contacts and readding them under the right meta-contact… Still this isn’t the most obvious of workflows.
I was looking at the Google Zeitgeist, and Malaysia produced some fairly standard searches, but one of the results stood out indeed. Here’s a screen capture for posterity:
I really had no reason to write about this, but I find it amusing that amidst all those legitimate, serious searches, we find Kirsten Dunst at position #8… Apparently more than a few people have a liking for her, though with Spiderman 3 on the horizon and building up a ton of buzz this isn’t unexpected.
As taken from the CodeIgniter website:
CodeIgniter is a powerful PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for PHP coders who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications. If you’re a developer who lives in the real world of shared hosting accounts and clients with deadlines, and if you’re tired of ponderously large and thoroughly undocumented frameworks
I must say that after looking through the documentation, watching the introductory screencasts and then experimenting with it myself, it really does live up to it’s claim of real-world thoughtfulness. CodeIgniter flexible and clear when it comes to the MVC pattern, and all through the tutorials I never once felt that I didn’t quite understand what was going on. Even reading the documentation, it’s all amazingly well explained.
I’ve so far not felt mystified by something in the framework, and haven’t yet had to ask any questions on the forums of IRC channels — something I’ve had to do numerous times with CakePHP, a similar open-source project. This of course isn’t to say that Cake is bad, but good documentation is king when it comes to programming.
Overall, the first impression you get when you run CodeIgniter is that of confidence. This is of course the benefit of having a commercial entity backing a project — little things like the documentation that typically don’t get done with a non-commercial project get taken care of.
Best of all? CodeIgniter comes with a license that qualifies as ‘Open Source’.
Lookout CakePHP, you may have the major portion of mindshare right now, but CodeIgniter is a serious contender.
RHB has disappointed me once again with yet another facet of their services. Their wonderful online portal (shockingly similar in layout to MayBank) isn’t quite up to snuff when it comes to interbank transfers it seems.
On Thursday I transferred some funds from my RHB account to my MayBank account, and I still don’t have it. It is Saturday morning. Talk about poor service. Idiots. Now I’m going to have to worry about where my money went through the weekend and call them and give them an earful on Monday. I’m sure I’ll get my money on Monday or (god forbid) Tuesday, but the problem really is that I wanted to use it today.
This is such a contrast to Maybanks wonderfully consistent service — instant, or near instant transfer. You click OK, and within a few minutes your money is available, even with interbank transfers. Then again, RHB is the bank that took 5 working days to clear a cheque of mine once, so I’m wondering if I should even be surprised?
I moved over here from my old domain (denial.loose-screws.com) and after installing WordPress and using it for a bit realised I should’ve imported all the content from my old website before I added content here for a few months.
Anyhow, when looking through the import options available to WordPress, I found an RSS feed one. So I set my RSS feed on the old installation to 500 entries (way more than I had) and fed it to the importer. Less than 30 seconds later, I had ALL my old content, complete with categories available… Talk about no-hassles.
WordPress team you did a wonderful job with it. Thanks.
I was scouring the net for a guitar tab when I stumbled across a most interesting result:
QuickTime Pro key hack
In some strange way, on some cosmic level of wholeness, on a higher plane of existence, I am sure this makes sense.
