8 Invaluable Wordpress Plugins!

Synergy

I used to use a MiniView multi-port KVM to switch between a few different machines. I currently only run a Mac OS X and a Windows XP box but I still want to be able to easily switch from one to the other.

The hardware based KVM was slow, it took several seconds for Windows to [...]

TEi – Create, manage and deliver dynamic visual messaging with AxisTV.

This is the company who makes the tool for the Smith Union screen that BCN setup.

We’ll need to work on this, shape it, repair the computers (virus’ present), and come up with some reasons to use and share this message delivery tool.

IT-Enquirer – ExpressionEngine 1 Year Later

In one year%u2019s time, ExpressionEngine has gained an Image [...]

IllustRender [25Kb] is a plugin for WordPress, heavily based on LatexRender, which replaces illustration code in your posts with the actual illustration. Currently, it handles metapost code and postscript code. To use it, you need ghostscript and imagemagick (for convert & identify), mpost, and latex. Of course, if you%u2019re not going to use [...]

Chris Justus – Server Side Guy: Google Suggest Dissected…

Nothing wrong with this! I wonder if directory results could be done in a similar manner. Without saying the word, I wonder how people interact with something like this… is it natural? do they use it, ignore it, know what it means?

Your pocket guide to CSS?

Kind of weird. I have been trying to use digital media on portable devices for reference materials since the early days of Newton—I still prefer a book. Did I download this? Natch!

@import url(/includes/global_new/tables.css);
Robert Denton – June 2002

MagyarorszÌÁg.hu – DOBOZ

The formidable Kalsey Consulting gives us Rounded corners in CSS. These have trouble in my cascade hell.
