FileHippo Update Checker (naturally by FileHippo) is one of the few update checkers I actually find usable. It had not got much attention in posts because it is very simple (and suffers from my I-mentioned-this syndrome).
After all I decided to do a bit more specific post about extended settings of the app, that aren’t immediately obvious but can be highly useful.
I needed to track some time spent on coding and went to look for a fitting tool. Automatic tracking sounded a little too fragile – easy to detect app used, but what about specific tab in NetBeans or page in Opera?
So I decided to go for something manual, but convenient enough. Klok is simple app that allows to track time spent on projects. as well as to edit and create entries directly.
It is a nasty quirk that when I mention something in the post it starts to slip my mind that it could really use a proper write-up. I had briefly mentioned WolframAlpha is the post about going beyond Google in search.
WolframAlpha is a site that describes itself as computational knowledge engine. Let’s go over what that is and is that worth using.
I had encountered curious issue this week with colleague being completely unable to login into his Gmail account. He was able to login in and out of his Google account just fine and use rest of the services, but Gmail was just dying in the middle of initial redirects when loading.
Troubleshooting web app is hardly same thing as troubleshooting desktop software, but luckily there are many less typical steps.
I find it interesting that for all those bright and spectacular design and design-related information flying around most sites look… Typical. Boring.
Custom design is complex and expensive investment. The one I implemented month (of dust settling) ago. I was not so much dreading as expecting little impact.
So does custom individual design makes a difference?
wait, license is not even recommended to be used in plugin header by Codex? 3/4 plugins don't bother? *facepalm*
RT @Rarst: turns out there are already six plugins in WP repo under WTFPL... I won't be pioneer if I go that way... :)what the heck is Bearware 4,5% license?someone licensed plugin under "I don't even know anymore" I feel you! :)
