From Fat Man.

For those using the PDA & iPhone wordpress plugin, which turns your blog into something more readable on a mobile device, don’t forget to add the Google analytics script to your footer.php (in both iphone-theme and pda-theme directory). As other plugins seem to be disabled.

This is actually also meant for me, as a reminder, for when I update the plugin. ;)

This blog post made my day. And the commenters even more. :)

Found on del.icio.us.

I hate having unread mail. I hate having spam. And most of all, I hate spam that asks for attention.

When receiving spam in Gmail, you get the annoying bold Spam (12353434) with ‘12353434’ being the number of unread spam messages.

With the introduction of Gmail Labs I’d hope to see an “automaticly mark spam message as seen” feature, which, well, I haven’t found yet.

Being tired of all these increasing spam numbers, and my daily efforts to “select all unread + mark as read”, I ended up writing a small PHP file which connects to the Gmail (using IMAP, so I asume you’ll need IMAP enabled in your settings..) and marks all spam messages as read. Running this script locally with a curl or cron every X time will solve most of your problems, I hope.

You’ll have to excuse me for this pointless post, I’m testing my Pingback options.

And yes, @sphere, even this summer was pretty poor…

Found a really cool blog post on Twitter yesterday night; really worth the time to read and to understand how 3G is actually working.

Might be old, but still made me laugh. ;)

Took me a while to figure out what went wrong.

With the new Firefox (v3) and the wordpress update, I was no longer able to see my Wordpress stats on my dashboard.

Every (Wordpress) login attempt, to see the stats, resulted in… Well nothing. I just kept getting back to the login page. No error.

Actually, I have “third-party cookies disabled” on all my browsers; I don’t like to have cookies from sites I do not visit. And this was the cause of the problem.

Been using it from time to time, and so far it has been great!

Maybe I’ll post some mini review about it some day.

Anyway, here’s a interview with one of the developers/leaders.

And a nice mail from them (reply to an idea of mine):
