It’s late and I need to get this out before my eyes roll back in my head.
I’m releasing a beta version of my Google AJAX Search plugin. It’s fairly simple to install (especially if you use widgets or a theme like redoable or K2 that uses modules) except for one minor step which entails modifying the body tag in your theme. Please test it out and give me your feedback.
Check out my other plugins and themes including Search Everything.

I don’t know if any of have happened to see the Google customized logo for today but it looks distinctly like it’s missing the letter “l.†Knowing Google’s penchant for obscure mathematical, science, and literary references, I did a search on the word “Googe.†Sure enough, I got a wikipedia entry for Barnabe Googe, a 16th century poet mostly famous for the following line:
I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die.
I had wondered…
If you’re not reading this in a feed you might have noticed the new look.
For those that like sidebars; I now have two. For those who like brown; I have 5+ shades. For those who like Google search; I have integrated google ajax search.
Of course I wanted to finalize the theme before I threw it out but instead of playing around and not getting around to finishing it I’ll just make this a permanent beta, like all my other themes.

The controversial Google “Tipsâ€, where Google promoted certain of their own products over organic search results, have been quietly pulled down.
Until recently, Google searches for Calendar, Blogging, Photo Sharing and others returned “tips†above normal search results suggesting users try Google Calendar, Blogger and Picasa, respectively. Firefox co-founder Blake Ross criticized the change in a widely read blog post, and the rest of, the world generally piled on. Even Google’s Matt Cutts had said he’d turn them off if he could.

SearchEverything in now on Google Code and thanks to Alex King it’s compatible with Wordpress 2.1.
Google Code just added a wiki and download section which are some pretty cool features. And again I’m reminded that I need to move the rest of my plugins and themes there. I also want to make it so anyone can edit and contribute through the SVN so if you want to be added just contact me.
How to manually hardlink multiple files to point to one single file. This will drastically help you if you have multiple files that are all the same because instead of editing all of the files you just need to edit one.
This is the command that I ran
#find . -name ‘FiletoFind.txt’ -exec ln -f newfile_hardlink.txt {} \;
FiletoFind.txt is the file name that you want to search for. newFile_hardlink.txt is the file you want all the files to look at after they…
Something I learned today.
This manual page documents hardlink, a program which consolidates duplicate files in one or more directories using hardlinks.
hardlink traverses one or more directories searching for duplicate files. When it finds duplicate files, it uses one of them as the master. It then removes all other duplicates and places a hardlink for each one pointing to the master file. This allows for conservation of disk space where multiple directories on a single filesystem contain many duplicate files.

Google opened up a new search sevice called Google Code Search today. The new search allows you to search through a huge index of code that the Google search engine has crawled over the years.
Being the curious beings we are, a friend of mine and I immediately started searching for passwords to see just how much Google was indexing. It didn’t turn up much in the way of anything “secretâ€? until we refined our search to just wp-config files (the…
I’m really impressed with Google Reader right now. I’m so stoked all the sharing, tagging, folders, keyboard shortcuts and the UI is fantastic. I really hope they take this UI and implement it into GMail.
A few things I noticed while using it all day:
The new iPod video formatting is extremely hard to follow and hopefully this review will help. I created it because I just wanted to put the highest quality video on my 5g video iPod for playback on a TV.
DVD Ripping
The first hurdle was finding the app that would rip my DVDs to H.264. I used Instant Handbrake (with the unofficial icons of course) in the past, but as you might know it rips the DVDs in the old file size of…
