Opera 10 Beta 1

Hellas — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:23:14 +0000

I just removed my Opera 9.64 and installed Opera 10 Beta 1. New Opera even in Beta is stable enough for daily use, and I must admit it is pure evil. Its faster then ever. Facebook is working now smooth like a milk, javascript speed is faster more then 20 times. Few javascript intense pages now do not slow down Opera. Acid 3 test is hitting score 100/100. There is new skin but old skin are working flawless, so I just brought back old one Tango CL skin. One thing is not working for me. My userjs SEObar script. Hope I will manage it somehow. Obviously M2 client got upgraded too.

This new opera is introducing us two new great features. First one is Automatic Update. From now on, we will have always latest Opera automaticly. Second one is inline spell checker. This is something that most Opera users awaited eagerly. Now when I type any English text on any text box, Opera is checking my spelling. Great thing for non English speakers.

One another thing I just noticed is new function for tab bar. You can resize it. But when you resize over certain border, tabs becomes thumbnails of open webpages. Quite interesting effect

Love is in the air

Database guides and tutorials

Hellas — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:34:47 +0000

It looks time is come to start learning about databases. Since my number of sites is starting to grow, I am experiencing oftenly lack of knowledge about databases. I can create mysql databases, make import, export and backups. I can make simple queries from PHP, basically simple stuff, but I want to know more. Detailed information about them, differences, good and bad things between database types, how do they function and work. More details about database architectures, fixing broken databases and why databases even get broken. Currently, I found just a few worthy sites about databases, database guides is jumping to my eyes, so as wikipedia database articles. After finishing reading all their articles will start with some practical tutorials. Maybe I should buy some database bible book.

iPhone 3G

Hellas — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:12:27 +0000

I am not so much interested for mobile phones but while searching for smart phones this one blow me away. iPhone 3G!
3G iPhone is smart mobile phone by Apple (is there anyone who did not heard for them). It has that fancy design, so as all Apple products but iPhone 3G have great options and hardware under the skin. It is the advanced version of common iPhone. This phone is coming without keyboard. Actually it have keyboard – virtual keyboard on its screen, sensitive to touch. 2mpx camera is also here. Most interesting function for me is full 802 b/g wifi adapter for internet connection and UMTS or HSDPA 3G standard. His 400 MHz processor is probably strong enough for coffee surf. Also I am wondering how Opera Mini (even if Apple is against this – they prefer that you use Safari) would work on this thing.

Interesting option also is assisted gps and 3.5 inch TRRS connector for the headphones, so finally I can get rid of my old mp3 player. With its interface, 1400 mAh battery and lets say 8 GB memory card, iPhone will perform better then probably most cheaper mp3 players today. Interface is also respectable: 480×320 px, 3.5 in (89 mm), 3:2 aspect ratio, 262,144-color LCD.

Price: 500$
Conclusion: When it gets little bit cheaper, I will throw my old SE K750 into the garbage :).

Converting docx to .doc

Hellas — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:15:32 +0000

Few days ago I got by mail some word document which I badly needed. I thought publishing will be quick job, but…

…but then I realized that my Office XP can’t open it. I tried to open it by force but I only got garbage. Quickly looking at the Google I realized that Microsoft changed format in Office 2007 and that I would need some converter or new Office. I quickly tried to contact the guy who sent me file, but it was to late he was offline so my only choice was to search for converter. Firstly I wanted to find as much as I can about the format. Docx net site was very helpful. I found that I can find plugin for my Office or I can use online converter tool. Since I thought I will not need this again I decided to use online tool at http://docx-converter.com/. Simply I browsed my file and gave them my email address. Five minutes later I got my file.

Easy as pie.

Revolution theme image align problem

Hellas — Sun, 03 May 2009 09:42:15 +0000

If you are using great Revolution themes by Brian Gardner with the newer Wordpres like 2.6.3 and you are experiencing problems with aligning images, then here is simple fix for you. Open your style css and first delete this:

#contentleft p img {
border:medium none;
float:left;
margin:0 10px 10px 0;
}

or as in my version this

#content p img {
float: left;
border: none;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
}

Then add this at the bottom of your style.css

[sourcecode language='css]

/************************************************
* Images *
************************************************/

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
display: inline;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}

.alignleft {
float: left
}
[/sourcecode]

Sulumits Retsambew SEO contest

Hellas — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 07:39:11 +0000

Well, I don’t post regularly here, but that is mostly because the lack of time. On top of that I entered to SEO contest organized by the Net Builders and Will Spencer. After 5 days I am in the lead with my sulumitsretsambew.org. I work hard in my free time (I stopped playing some games because of it, maybe this contest is ultimate game). As you probably concluded al already heard somewhere goal of the contest is to rank 1st 2nd or 3rd for the term Sulumits Retsambew. If you are wondering what is Sulumits Retsambew, then read it backwards – Webmaster Stimulus. Contest will last for the next five months and it would be very hard to keep with the other guys/girls :D.

I would also appreciate if you want to support my Contest entry by linking to it from your page, forum signature, blog or directory…

EDIT: I forgot to add link to my sulumit retsambew, but now is fixed
