Of particular interest are the two images I created from the clouds at sunset. They were created by bracketing a full stop across 5 shots (-2 to +2) and using Photomatix Pro.

In short, the following changes were made:

Hide Dashboard 1.2

  • Added option to block access to the Dashboard via the URL Location bar
  • Added option to allow authors and editors to view the Dashboard and other admin section pages

MyGallery to WordPress Converter 1.1

  • Bugfix to import the description and caption (alttext) fields from MyGallery into as well.
  • Added a variable to allow users to change the path of their MyGallery installation if it is different from the default directory

Hopefully, these changes will make the plugins more useful.

Maybe someone can find it useful. Anyhow, I’ve updated my WordPress, and made various changes and updates overall. Hopefully, this current set of software will last, oh, at least the next ten minutes, before being considered out of date.

There are also many new photographs in all the other sections too.. Check it out.

The new updated gives you an option to use its own Meta section as a widget (instead of the default), and thus bypassing the Dashboard completely for subscribers. This makes it more seamless and cleaner for subscribers.

They tell the story of how I managed to move my data out of my Palm Treo 650 into the Mozilla suite of products. As everyone knows, the Palm data formats are highly proprietary, and so moving the data to Mozilla means that at least I can still read/write the data in the future. Plus, since I use Mozilla on the desktop all the time, this means my phone and my desktop can be truly synchronised once and for all. Check out the articles:

Why did I really need to move my data into Mozilla in the first place? Well, because I recently got a new Samsung SGH-i600 Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. ActiveSync will only sync your contacts and calendar with MS Outlook and not Outlook Express. Since I don’t use Outlook, I have to get ActiveSync to sync with my Mozilla suite instead. I never thought I’d say this, but moving to a MS Windows platform forced me to use open standards/source formats, data and applications! :) I’ll try to post some information about my SGH-i600 setup in the future.

I’ve been using the platform since the Palm III days. During this time, I’ve bought and upgraded no less than 5 powered devices - the Palm III, Palm V, Palm m505, Tungsten T3 and the Treo 650. The latest Treo 680 and Treo 750v simply add nothing new to the equation while I’ve been needing 3G support for global roaming and generally, a roadmap from Palm on the future of this platform to assure me that it will still be around in a year or two’s time. With the Apple iPhone setting the bar very high for 2007/08, Palm has to show something to inspire customers to stay with them and not just rely on blind customer brand/platform loyalty to continue in the future.

So, the sad day arrived, Hell froze over and I have gone over to the dark side. I guess this will be the last Palm related articles I post unless I decide to go back to it one day in the future. The good news is, now that I am in Mozilla, which is open, I can go to any platform, not just Palm, quickly and easily.

The end result is that in less than 24 hours, the situation has been remedied :)

They sure work fast, but the screen caps recording this minor bump in the Information Superhighway have been preserved for all time… :)
