The Windows Song

This song only uses sounds from Windows XP and Windows 98, whoever thought about this is a genius, all the sounds are well mixed and it sounds great!!

He/She, who made this should make a music album or something based on operating system sounds… would be great to earn some extra money :)

Updated Wordpress to its latest version - 2.3.2

Just to let the hole world know, that a new Wordpress version is available and brings us very important security fixes. You can see the official announcement here . I just updated mine in 5 minutes, with a couple of clicks. You are probably wondering (or maybe not), ” How did this guy update his Wordpress system in 5 minutes?” Well, there are very useful plug-ins out there, I used Wordpress Automatic upgrade, very useful plug-in with very easy steps, even a newbie in Wordpress can do it with this plug-in. Here are the following steps of what it’s capable of:

  1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
  2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
  3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
  4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
  5. De-activates all active plug-ins and remembers it.
  6. Upgrades Wordpress files.
  7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
  8. Re-activates the plug-ins.

You can download it and follow these steps, or you can do it the old way, which you will have to download the latest files, upload them to you hosting account, and them upgrade the database, this would probably take you 20 minutes just doing this and getting everything to function properly.

Happy New Year!!! :P

Bloove - Web-based mobile phone management

Today I felt like blogging about Bloove.

Bloove , as I mentioned in the title, is a web-based mobile phone management, or web-based cell phone management. I’ve started using this useful free service for a couple of days now and I’m very satisfied with the features we can have for being a free user. This service allows you to edit address book contacts and speed dial settings, initiate calls and work with messages. All from your favorite browser. It is like PC Suite for the web, all you need is a wireless connection like GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, Wi-Fi, etc… No cable or infrared is needed, you will need to install Bloove Agent application on your phone, and no installs are required on the desktop. Of course as it is free there are some limits, such as you will not be able to connect more than one cell phone to your account and the contact archive is limited to 15 items, all the other features have no limits. You may manage an unlimited number of contacts on the phone, and there is no time limit - basic functions will be free forever. As they say in their FAQ, they are planning on introducing premium options such as more number of mobile phones and archive items allowed. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Firefox 3 beta 1 finally out!!

Finally this time the first beta of Firefox 3 is available to download. It’s not recommended for the general public to download and test it, but why not download it and try it, it’s free and it’s a new piece a software with a lot of new features, I can say that it has improved a lot, I’ve tried some alpha release on Linux and it was super fast, had some stability issues but nothing that would affect the systems performance, so I kept on trying it, and this was my conclusion: Firefox rocks :P

New features and changes in this release include: [Read the rest of this entry...]
