How To Disable .htaccess Authorization for Child Directories
August 17, 2010, 9:18 amThe problem: I have a password protected WordPress install — only a limited group of users may access its content (simple .htaccess/.htpasswd). I also need to access my WordPress stylesheet (which happens to be in a child directory of the protected environment) for an unprotected homepage though. Traversing the directory stack, we know a more specific [...]
I like reading on iPad.
June 23, 2010, 11:32 amMy iPad has been with me all the time since its debut seven weeks ago. And I have to say, I like to read on it. So do Tim Van Damme, Shawn Blanc and Mike Rohde. I expected iPad to be a great device for casual consumption of “new media”. You don’t need a big [...]
Shooting Video with a DSLR
May 24, 2010, 6:51 pmA recent shot, happened while fiddling with the camera at the coffee table. I’m thinking about upgrading my DSLR to one capable of doing high-res video — any recommendations on that? I absolutely love what I see people doing with Canon’s 5D Mark II for example: Grand Central Terminal NYC: Canon 5D mark II from [...]
How and Why I keep my Inbox at Zero
March 12, 2010, 1:14 amAbout 4 hours ago Tyler Galpin posted the following tweet: I think inbox 0 is stupid, because sometimes you need to sit on an email before replying in the best manner possible. Avoid mistakes. Absolutely true—there are many emails you shouldn’t or can’t answer right away. But I don’t think that should prevent implementing Inbox [...]
Quicky: Access Control Using Your Phone
March 1, 2010, 8:33 pmFor the past two weeks I’ve used Airlock to automagically lock my Mac Pro’s and MacBook Pro’s screens as soon as I and my iPhone are not in the room anymore. It’s a nice way of ensuring that nobody will read what’s on your screen or does stupid things using your Facebook or XMPP accounts—at [...]
iPad — The Executive Summary
February 7, 2010, 10:33 pmJanuary again had something new for us Apple addicted fanboys. There was a “Stevenote” in which Apple revealed the iPad—a touchscreen tablet device running iPhone OS. Some call it a big brother to iPod touch and iPhone—the smartphone we ♥ so much. Taptivate, an iPhone development house, feels the need to re-define Rev⋅o⋅lu⋅tion (noun), but [...]
Readernaut
January 31, 2010, 4:31 pmI was surprised to see no results show up for the term “Readernaut” when I put it into my blog’s search earlier today. I like the service a lot and couldn’t believe I hadn’t recommended it yet. So, without further ado, here’s what it allows you to do: Share your reading experience by writing notes, [...]
A small step to lessen fuel consumption
January 20, 2010, 11:07 pmI spent the past week in Florida—on short notice, a client called me to come along with him to a conference in the Tampa/Clearwater area. For the rides between airport, hotel and the conference center we rented a mid-size SUV (a Jeep Patriot, to be precise). When the conference was over, we took a day [...]
I just joined Project 52
January 7, 2010, 11:11 pmI don’t believe in New Year’s pledges. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to set oneself a goal and work towards it, but most New Year’s pledges don’t work like this—in reality, they’re just the fancy topping for a New Year’s party, but worth nothing a few days into the year. So let’s not call [...]
Gowalla
November 16, 2009, 11:06 pmOne of the first location-based apps on my iPhone was Brightkite. I liked the idea of leaving a note at places—but Brightkite quickly got boring and I didn’t check in often. Gowalla makes checking in everywhere and sharing places fun. It motivates its users by rewarding them with stamps on their passports and items in [...]
