I’ve been using these wonderful plugins from Lester Chan a.k.a GaMerZ. You can find his homepage at http://www.lesterchan.net/, a very brilliant guy from Singapore. He maintains a list of wordpress plugins, developed by himself. The list is at http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php

I’ve personally tested, and currently using WP-Email, WP-PostViews, and WP-PostRatings. Lester has packaged these plugins nicely in zip files, along with detailed instructions, I will not try to re-do something that he has properly done. Go try it yourself, and give your credits to him.

I’m not a gamer. Since I’m so addicted to Linux, gaming is something I have to give up. However, wonderful pc game developers will come out with something amazing from time to time, aiming the entire pc game market. They have wonderful port versions for popular operating systems which Linux is also included. This is my second online game, after Neverwinter Nights.

The game’s name is Second Life, and yes, its linux client is the most hassle-free version I’ve ever dealt with. Simply download the package, extract and run the game. There’s no compile-and-install steps at all! If you are running on alsa sound system, your have a video card better than geforce2, then you’ll have no problem running this game. Make sure you’ve installed the nvidia driver like I did, and if you are on ATI cards, fglrx is needed for 3d performance.

Second Life login screen.

Second Life is best played in window mode, it has a lot of interactions with outside the game world(opening web pages, voice commucation with skype etc).

Check out this little baby I’ve found online, the smallest Linux computer in the world. Its size is 35mm×19mm×19mm, only a bit larger than a RJ45 connector! It has one serial port, and one RJ45 connector. It’s using uClinux as its operating system.

I’ve stumbled upon this nice firefox extension, it is a FTP client fully integrated into Firefox web browser, and most of all, like other firefox extensions, it is totally free. This is the extension’s home page, or you can get the extension at mozilla add-on page. This extension is only 102kb, and it is again platform independent.

Here’s a screenshot of it.
