PsicoTSI for Firefox 3

Since I am a huge hattrick fan I use the following Firefox extensions to help me out with making the correct decisions :

But since the upgrade of firefox to version 3.0 PsicoTSI isn’t working anymore so I decided to take a look at it and I made it compatible for firefox 3.0.

So here can you download psicotsi_te_1.0.12.xpi for FF 3.0

Or if you don’t want to registrate yourself … (updated on 06/09/2008)

Again, you are providing an unofficial version of PsicoTSI at http://www.wijndaele.com/wwdj/2008/09/psicotsi-troubles/

Please remove this version promptly or we will be forced to refer you to the GMs, who could lock your team.

Regards

How can you install this extension :

Download the xpi file and drag it on to your firefox window

Now you should be able to install and use it!

And if you feel into it, you can always buy me a beer for the effort that I’ve put in it

Getting started with Cakephp without mod_rewrite

You want to know more about CakePHP ? Then I can advice you the following :

Step 1 : Start with a working apache web server.

Here can you registrate yourself for a free account!
When you are reading connect to your account usng an ftp client and upload the latest cakephp framework. (Atm it is 1.2 RC1)
FYI : I used release candidate 1 from 1.2 since I noticed that version 1.2 is better documented than stable release 1,1

Step 2 : Follow the CakePHP Blog Tutorial

It is an easy to follow tutorial. I only had troubles with it because of mod_rewrite so I describe what I’ve done to let it work without mod_rewriten:

Edit /app/config/core.php and uncomment the line that looks like:
Configure::write(‘App.baseUrl’, env(‘SCRIPT_NAME’));

remove these .htaccess files

```
/.htaccess
```
```
/app/.htaccess
```
```
/app/webroot/.htaccess
```

Instead of http://www.example.com/index.php/posts/index all your urls will become http://www.example.com/index.php/posts/index

And that should be it! Simple ? Yes if you know how to do it, else you could be searching for hours. And it seemed I was not alone having this problem.

Step 3 : Start over from 0 and develop something else using their excellent manual

Cloud computing is the future and …

we make part of it!

NomaDesk is essentially a Web-based file server. Anytime changes are made in the file server directory, the changes are automatically sent to the server and stored. The updated files are then propagated and replicated to all of the appropriate people in an organization.

“In essence, what we do is we allow the collaboration and sharing of all files, but the beauty is we are just as effective off-line as we are online,” Jochum said.

The company, based in Huntington Beach, Calif., has roots in Belgium and provides its services to the Belgium government, said Filip Tack, Aventiv’s chief executive officer. “Our product can handle rich content such as audio,” he added. “So the transcripts the government gets from parliamentary sessions can be shared very elegantly with our platform.”

One of the biggest benefits of Web 2.0 and cloud computing for government agencies is the ability to effectively collaborate, Jochum said.

A proud NomaDesk Employee!

Plurk meets Twitter

Today I’ve posted tweet nr 1000 without actually realizing it. This shows how fast it all goes. And like I don’t already spend enough time on twitter I also started plurking.

And since I can’t describe rather well what plurk is I will provide you with a url to a blog post where the whole plurk concept is explained extremely well.

So how can we maintain both solutions without spending too much time : Feedtweeter

Feedtweeter enables you to update only on plurk and the messages you would also like to tweet can be send to twitter using Feedtweeter. At this moment Feedtweeter is beta (so thank you steffest for my beta account) but hopefully it will become available soon!
