Addictive Google game!

Image
Well, it's not really sposed to be a game, it's to help google label pictures and images on the web. But it's kinda addictive! clipped from images.google.com Today's Ranking 1.

First "jnlp" experience

Image
I just clicked on a button on the soapui.org website. My Firefox download window thingy seemed to recognise the "jnlp" file, even tho I didn't so I clicked ok just to see what it would do. Well, my Java web start kicked off and started downloading bits and pieces. Great! first time I've experienced a jnlp file. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more :) The direct link to the jnlp download is: http://www.soapui.org/jnlp/1.7/soapui.jnlp . Oh yeah, by the way "soapUI is a free and open source desktop application for inspecting , invoking , developing , simulating/mocking and functional/load/compliance testing of web services over HTTP." [edit 10 mins later] Having praised the seemingly smart jnlp, I'm going to have to eat my words. I went through the process of accepting the license agreement, and watched it install, realising that it hadn't asked me where I wanted to install it - annoyance nr. 1 I then checked the box to have the

Feedburner doesn't let you search for feeds

Image
Seems like a logical service for Feedburner to provide - searching for feeds, but they don't. Still, nice that the friendly Feedburner admins point you to somewhere to search for feeds, i.e. Technorati. clipped from forums.feedburner.com Hello ! I am new at this , and i was just wondering if there is a method that i can use to add a keyword and find feeds from other users with those keywords in them, so i can use some of the returned content. Hi, No, we don't actually provide a directory or search of feedburner feeds. Your best bet is to use a blog directory such as Technorati or podcast directory to find blogs and feeds by keyword.

La Fonera - 45 minutes of madness

Just been trying to get my Fonera router up and running. I live in The Netherlands where you can buy a Fonera on the fon site for about 40 euro. A friend got it for me on eBay though for 11 euro inclusive shipping. Nice. Of course, many people have got them free :)) Lucky you! So, anyway, the story of setting up the bloody thing. Well, it's not much of a story, but it goes like this. I plugged it in and could see NEITHER of the bloody networks. Neither the public nor the private one. I couldn't see it with my laptop, or my girlfriend's VAIO. Not a good sign, and very annoying. I tried attaching it directly to my cable modem, because I originally had it plugged into my existing wireless router, but that didn't help. I read some stuff online, and managed to logon to 169.254.255.2 where you can see the Fonera admin console after configuring my LAN connection to a fixed IP of 169.254.255.1 Ok, so at least now I knew the thing actually worked. I then set the IP to a fixed IP

LinkaGoGo to Yahoo bookmarks migration (including tags!)

I'm pleased with Yahoo My Web BETA I just imported my LinkaGoGo bookmarks successfully with tags ! I exported the LinkaGoGo bookmarks using the Delicious export option. This gives you a file called delicious.xml I then imported this file into my Yahoo! My Web BETA bookmarks It bloody worked with tags an' all ! I'm now going to use this chap's tool (hmm, that sounded..) to convert from Yahoo to Google... (will update post with result) Right, didn't quite go as planned getting the bookamrks into Google. The tool only grabs your public bookmarks, it doesn't let you log on and grap all your bookmarks,

Reference a specific page in a URL for a PDF file

Image
This is a great tip if you want to send someone a link to a PDF document and want to point them directly to a specific page in the document. clipped from bluedragon.blog-city.com Jump to a PDF page or section via a URL request Here's something pretty cool. Did you know you can cause a URL request for a PDF to go right to a specific page, or even a specific section of the document? Just use the format for HTML anchors, as in #page=nn, to tell the PDF to be loaded on page nn. Use #sectionname to go to a section name instead. For example, the following would jump to page 29 of the BlueDragon Compatibility Guide: http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/self_help/docs/6_1/BlueDragon_61_CFML_Compatibility_Guide.pdf#page=29 Or, to go to the section on our available CFIMAP tag (a section titled, specifically "4.5.7 CFIMAP"), use: http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/self_help/docs/6_1/BlueDragon_61_CFML_Compatibility_Guide.pdf#4.5.7%20CFIMAP Note the space between
