Dropbox Invites

Posted by Adi Wong On September - 9 - 2008

I got dropbox invites a while ago and have been using it to share files between my home desktop, notebook and office desktop PC. It is sometimes troublesome to get files transfer here and there. Dropbox (or GetDropBox.com) provides the same experience as sharing files between local network.

It basically look and feel exactly like your local PC. Best things is that it works with Vista and Windows XP. You can even access the file properties, copy, paste, or edit the file directly from the Dropbox without having to copy them to your computer first.

After editing, you can simply access anywhere with any computer that have internet access and web browser that complies to dropbox requirements..

I have shared my RiceBlogger theme in my Dropbox account. You can download it here.

There is some invitest to spare, if you need one to try it out, leave me a comment here.

Remember, while stock last.

Online Name Card / Business Card is always good because it is basically free and its carry your identity. Unlike the conventional name card, online business card does not require printing and you could pass them through different geographical region quickly and easily by email, Instant Messenging, Forums and all sorts of methods.

MeeID have a very simple interface and the Online ID looks neat. Although I hate that the sponsor link are too near to our identity, that may be mistaken by others.

Twiggit is a great service to promote article at Digg. You have the option to only Tweet aritcles that you submited. It is pretty simple, all you do is to provide them with your Digg ID, Tweet account and email.

Once you digg, it should appear on your Twitter. Unfortunately it is not quite instand. But it is good enough.

This would be another way to promote your Digg submission.

Posted by Adi Wong On September - 5 - 2008

Yesterday I released an edited version of the original Kubrick theme into a 3-Colume WordPress Theme, Riceblogger Theme, I decided to post some tutorial on how to use the various function included.It is fairly simple to edit the theme. You will need a little basic html knowledge to locate the code to edit.

I will try to provide step by step instruction here. If you still encounter some problem, kindly leave me a note here.

Installation

Like any other theme, all you need is to download the theme, unpack them and upload the whole directory. After that you activate the theme.

Remember to change the file attributes to 666 if you would like to edit your theme through your admin panel.

Change tabs title on the Riceblogger Theme

  1. Edit filename tabber.php
  2. Locate the tab you are interested to change either id=tab1, id=tab2, id=tab3 or id=tab4.
  3. Paste the title in between <h2> </h2>

Copy a video from Youtube or other media network

  1. Edit filename tabber.php
  2. Locate your video tab
  3. Copy and paste the whole embeded code in between <p> and </p>
  4. You should see something like this

Don’t worry about the size of the video because it will edit itself to comply to the tabber size.

Change banner ads

  1. Upload your banner ads to the banner folder I have provided in my theme. It will be located at [blogdirectory]/wp-content/themes/3-colume-kubrick/banner/
  2. find <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/banner/banner.gif
  3. replace banner.gif with your banner filename

Everyone have been talking about the good things about Google new browser, Chrome since its release on Wednesday and it is indeed a pretty fast browser. Try logging onto your hotmail account with the new Google Chrome Browser and you will know what I mean. Microsoft’s Hotmail website will popup with a notice that our browser you need to “Upgrade your browser”.

So far there is no problem with Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

This is what I see when I login into my hotmail account.
