Updates

A quick update from me. I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5 - Ronan. On the other hand, I found the solution which can fix the YouTube video’s offset issue. The recent redesign of YouTube interface offset the videos, on my blog, to the right within the ExtremeVideo plug-in container. I tried to find out the solution from their web site but failed. I finally found the solution from here:

Have fun.

Updates

Just a quick update about my site:

  1. Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.4, a security release
  2. Upgraded to K2 0.9 Release
  3. Added some new links
  4. Enabled random headers

Thanks

9527.net Has a New Look

9527.net now has a new look. I feel boring with the standard WordPress theme. So I changed it last night and I added some new features as well. Here you go the details:

  1. Installed the K2 theme (Beta Two svn r343r345): It is an open-source template for WordPress. It is powerful and beautiful. I’m lovin’ it!
  2. Added a header image: I don’t like the default navy blue header of K2 so I use a very nice Mac OS X wallpaper as the header image.
  3. Installed the Brian’s Latest Comments plug-in: It is a plug-in for WordPress to show latest comments as asides.
  4. AJAX support from K2: AJAX commenting, AJAX rolling archive, Livesearch, etc.
  5. Installed Extended Live Archives (0.10beta R16): It is good but it has issues with my previous permalink structure (e.g. ../archives/53). Now permalink structure has been changed (e.g. ../archives/2006/05/01/53/) in order to “by-pass” the problem.

Enjoy!

Note: Now my site is no longer IE friendly. It will work but you will see something abnormal. Please use Firefox or Safari (Mac OS X) for better performance.

Extreme Video Plug-in 2.3 BETA

Just installed Extreme Video Plug-in 2.3 BETA. This plug-in allows me to embed videos (GoogleVideo, YouTube, QuickTime, etc.) into my blog.

Here you go a (sample) video that I love very much:

Final Fantasy VIII Anime Music Video, featuring “Eyes On Me” by our famous Hong Kong female singer Faye Wong. Enjoy.

I am Back!

I am back! I was so busy in the last few weeks and had no time to update my blog. Here you go the summary of the things happened in the last few weeks:

  1. My iMac G5 (Rev. B) was fixed. The on-site technician replaced the motherboard and the power supply. My iMac worked again. Then I sold it to my friend and got a new iMac G5 (iSight). :mrgreen:
  2. Joined the Vorsicht SMD on 2nd April morning. It was fun. Over 20 cars joined the event. SMD will become a monthly activity of Vorsicht. The next SMD will be in May. Stay tuned.
  3. Just upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.0.2. This release has some security fixes. For details, please visit here.

I will do my best to update my blog as frequent as I can. Thanks for visting my site.

WordPress 2.0.1 and Akismet

WordPress

I have just upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.0.1. 114 bugs have been closed in this release. To summarize:

  • You can now specify an upload directory, and whether to use date-based storage or not.
  • Caching has been fixed under certain PHP enviroments.
  • Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
  • XML-RPC uploading works.
  • Compatibility with older versions of PHP.
  • Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.
  • Imports now use much less memory.
  • Now works with MySQL 5.0 in strict mode.

On the other hand, I have activated the Akismet Plug-in which comes with WordPress 2.0/2.0.1. It can stop comment spam and trackback spam. I’ve got many spam comments recently and Akismet will definitely help filtering them out.

Audio Player WordPress Plug-in

I think I need some multimedia functions in my blog. So, now, I have the Audio Player WordPress Plug-in (by 1 Pixel Out) installed. This plug-in allows me to insert MP3 files in Flash form into my posts and pages.

Here you go an example:

Click the > button to play the audio
Click the || button to pause the audio

Enjoy.

Updates: I found that the current version of this plug-in was not able to display Chinese ID3 tags from the MP3 files. I have informed Martin (the author) already. He promised that he would consider adding full character set support into future releases. Thanks Martin.
