Since I upgraded my Wordpress to 2.5
Since I upgraded my Wordpress to 2.5, some odds happening on my site. No, no this is not because of the wonderful administration theme (you know what, I love the layout and UI design for this new administration theme!).
This is because the gravatar is not properly displayed in exact dimension. I have inspected the functions.php on my modified prologue theme, and found nothing but headache.
So I think the get_gravatar function might be placed somewhere on the code since this version has supported the gravatar. With a wonderful “grep” command, I found get_gravatar function on wp-includes/pluggable.php.
Hmm, the function has a different arguments with the prologue theme function, so I decided to use the wordpress one. I must edit those theme scripts one by one to adopt the new get_avatar function.
Here it is, my new modified prologue theme that support wordpress 2.5
I have some projects to be set up and running
I have some projects to be set up and running on this week. Some projects has started and will drive me nuts!
But it’s OK, as long as I have much time to do that :D. Using Content Management System really save my life. Drupal or Wordpress come to resque me. BUT that’s OK if there are no modifications, custom module in it. If I have to build or create new module, oh my I wish to get my deadline on time.
Pray for the best
GNOME 2.22 has released
Gnome 2.22 finally released. This ‘lucky’ and ‘nice’ number version bring joy to open source community. Some features, a lot of bug fixes and performance speed has added. Gnome developer has replaced Gnome-VFS. GVFS is new network-transparent virtual filesystem layer for GTK+. GVFS is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the older GNOME-VFS system. Improvements over GNOME-VFS include remembering login credentials for the entire session and being more resilient to failures. Many GNOME applications are already using GVFS, including all of the core applications.
Although GVFS is not covered by all applications, they plan to migrate all applications and make it much better on 2.24 release. I tested this release with my Ubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 6. If you upgrade to this alpha release, you notice that almost all Gnome desktop related packages has a 2.22 version already.
The one I mostly love is a weather integration on clock applet. It gives me a current temperature, sunrise and sunset time 
On this release also, finally they include say cheese, an application to capture or make video from a webcam.
Internet Explorer 8 will be standard compliants by default
This is a good news because we as a web developer has much headache during development, bug fixing on web applications if we face this ugly, stubborn browser. Finaly, Internet Explorer 8 will be standard compliants by default. Microsoft do this to get the interoperability principles work.
We hope that web development will be smooth across various browser especially for the upcoming Internet Explorer. We all know that Internet Explorer is the major browser from now on (but I wish that someday, Firefox will take over IE ;)) . You can see the reason why you should use Firefox instead IE here.
