Comment on ReasonTV: Obama’s Doublethink Doubletalk by Claude

It’s not that she believes his lies and utopian nonsense. They work for the same crapware company, the democrat party, and there is nothing democratic about them.

Apparently Nancy Pelosi does. Jill-in-the-box back there kept popping up like a loon.

My favorite? We are increasing our troops…but make no mistake we are ending this war.

Yawn if right.

No, this happened on my MacBook Pro. I haven’t tested the Superdrive on the 27″ iMac at work.

Comment on TED Talks: Beyond the Crisis, Mindboggling Science and the Arrival of Homo Evolutis by Harry Dale Huffman

Harry Dale Huffman — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 02:11:30 +0000

Bottom line: Technology has not helped man to think better, and it won’t make him function better than the “unenhanced” human body in any fundamental sense. In fact, “hard” science is in unrecognized crisis today, across all fields, and is falsely leaning on still-expanding technology. Scientists don’t learn anymore, they just keep inventing new suppositions to cover new observations and thus keep their theories alive. That’s what Mr. Enrique is selling here — glib, glittery, empty suppositions that would stave off for yet another generation the internal pressures for self-correction of the current failing paradigm, whose effects we perceive all around us in vain, unending “debates”, which the “authorities” and “experts” all refuse to learn from. What the future will bring is hard correction, not painless “rebooting”. Man should know his limitations, and the fundamental source of all ethics: All of human science — all human endeavor — is only the reverse-engineering of prior design of the natural world (just as all learning is only remembrance, as Socrates famously taught). Read my blog for the new paradigm.

Comment on Force a URL to Use HTTPS by claude

@Khurt – Of course the assumption here is that you DO have an SSL certificate and intend to use it.

Good tip. But … in a shared hosting environment can’t one just request that the hosting provider turn this on? If they won’t it’s most likely the server does not have a SSL cert for that domain so forcing it in the .htacces file would be pointless anyway.

Comment on FREE Thesis Template: Strange Little Town by Kostenlose Thesis-Templates — Thesis Theme World

Kostenlose Thesis-Templates — Thesis Theme World — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 10:54:01 +0000

[...] Strange Little Town ist ursprünglich ein Theme von Minmin, das aber Darstellungsprobleme auf älteren Browsern (IE6) hat. Claude Betancourt hat es nun auf Thesis portiert und das Problem damit gelöst. Mir gefällt das Theme nicht besonders, weil man auf dem unruhigen Sternenhintergrund den Text nicht lesen kann. Wer es mag, kann es hier herunterladen. [...]

Comment on Tutorial: Flickr Photo Gallery by claude

claude — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:45:47 +0000

Vicki, I am glad you found this tutorial helpful. The short answer is that you can use the photosets_getPhotos() method, which will accept a photosetid. In proxy.php, replace the line: $f->photos_getRecent( null, $_perPage, 1 ) with: $f->photosets_getPhotos(photosetid, null, null, $_perPage); and make sure to pass in a valid photosetid. You can look it up by visiting a public photoset like this one of mine, and extracting the ID from the URL. In this case 72157612712643487. I hope this helps.

Hi, this looks fantastic. Thank you for going into so much detail with it. I was actually looking for code which would pull in photos from a particular gallery which I uploaded to Flickr. Is there a way to adapt this script to do that?

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to run your code without difficulties.
In my case, I have a ‘card’ layout with a chart in each card. Each card is of xtype ‘gvisualization’. I must be doing something wrong as GVisualizationPanel is complaininng in line 105 which I guess means that the is not ready.

Any hints?

Claude -

Great use of the extension!

I just wanted to comment and let you know that you actually don’t have to modify the source of GVisualizationPanel.js to use the annotatedtimeline visualization. You can pass in an object literal with the pkg name as the key and the value as the class name. Like this:

visualizationPkg: {'annotatedtimeline':'AnnotatedTimeLine'}

Comment on Is it Time to Backup your Mac? by Ashley Morgan

Ashley Morgan — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:24:08 +0000

Interesting post. We have 3 Macs in our house. One of the first Titanium G4 Powerbooks which is almost 9 years old, a 4 year old G5 20″ iMac and a 6 month 24″ Intel iMac. The Powerbook has never let me down. It needed a new power supply around 2 years ago and the finish is a little battered but it is as good as new.

Although the younger machines have also never let me down there is something bomb proof about the older hardware. It’s just a feeling but I think the Powerbook will still be going in another 10 years.
