To download, right click and select ‘Save As’: Explicit Category Order

Quick Usage:
# Drop categoryOrder.php in WordPress 1.5+ Plugin directory, and activate it
# Navigate to ‘Manage’ -> ‘Category Order’
# Enter comma and space seperated order of category slugs (available in drop down menu) with Keywords for formatting.
# If your top level categories are empty, you might need to change the function call in your sidebar.php file to: wp_list_cats('hide_empty=0');
# I call my categories with wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); so that my list defaults to alphabetical when I haven’t set an explicit category order.

Example: by-course, CHILD, appetizers, salad-and-side-dishes, breakfast, BREAK, by-cuisine, CHILD, asian, cuban, indian

This plugin is in use at Cara Dow’s Recipes

Keywords:
* CHILD - flags the next category (and any subsequent categories) as sub-categories.
* TOP - flags the next category (and any subsequent categories) as top-level. Immediately rewinds to original starting level. Remains in effect until the next keyword.
* BACKUP - rewinds one level of nesting. Multiple BACKUPs are okay, though if you rewind your list beyond its original starting level, the extra calls will be ignored.
* BREAK - Similar to TOP as immediately rewinds to original starting level, but also inserts a gap before the next category.

To revert to original list, update your category order with just a space, or deactivate the plugin.

Known issues: This plugin only works if you are using permalinks.

trycktill is a swedish website that calculates the unlock code for your cell phone. The site also has english and danish translations available. To get to the unlocking page, and avoid being redirected to fbi.gov, first click on the Var det nagon som sa gratis? link, and then change to your preferred language.

After entering my phone’s information I entered the first code. It failed. The directions say the second most likely code is the seventh code. That one worked and my phone is now free to use any SIM card in any country. I’m looking forward to using it in upcoming trips to France and Denmark.

A lovely thing about .htaccess files: if you place them in a directory, the conditions and permissions you set up affect all subfolders of that folder. So, if you want to protect all your images, just drop a single .htaccess file in your main images directory, and all subfolders are taken care of.

Here’s the code that I’m using for my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.buzolich.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://buzolich.com [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]+.(jpe?g|gif|png|mov|swf|avi|mpe?g|mp3|wav|wmv)$ - [F]


Note: The file is four lines, and each line starts with Rewrite…

Both work well and which one you use is mostly a matter of preference.

The Yahoo Toolbar’s Anti-Spy runs in less than a minute and catches 98% of all spy-ware. I use it the most frequent (about once a week)

Lavasoft’s Adaware SE uses reference files to find even very new spy-ware programs developed and has caught every piece of spy-ware I’ve seen. Reference files are updated weekly and you should always update them before scanning your computer. It scans deeper than the Anti-spy and can take quite a bit longer, but I run it at least once a month.

Editor’s Note: Another program I use that compliments Lavasoft’s Adaware is SpyBot Search & Destroy. One of its best features is ‘Immunize’, which blocks many of the holes Microsoft has left for spyware to exploit.

That wasn’t clear enough? 7-Zip handles all the archive formats you’ll encounter on the net. It also integrates nicely into your right-click menu allowing you to “Extract Here” on any compressed file.

# Start -> Run -> regedit
# Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Policies -> Microsoft
# Create a new key by selecting Edit -> New -> Key, starting from the top bar, and naming it Messenger
# Below Messenger, create another key named Client
# Now you’re done making keys, almost there… Next we have to make a DWORD by right clicking on the newly created Client -> New -> DWORD, naming it PreventRun
# Finally, double click on PreventRun and Value data entry of 0 to 1.

Close up regedit and after you restart, MSN Messenger should be out of your life.

DAEMON Tools is a virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator. It is able to emulate nearly all known copy protections on the market today. After installation and a restart, Daemon tools allowed me to mount an image and have it show up as a drive.

If you have the extra hard drive space, this seems like a really good way to play computer games without having to switch discs. Check their Games Database to see if you favorite game’s copy protection is supported.

WARNING: I tried this at home and my computer almost died. The forums have many comments about problems with this software, especially when installed next to Easy CD Creator. If you have XP, set a system restore point first.

Radmin is an award-winning multifunction remote control program. Radmin enables you to remotely monitor or work on one or more network computers right from your own workstation. It is a complete remote control solution with such features as File Transfer, NT security, Telnet and Multilanguage Support built-in.

If you don’t have Windows XP Professional, Radmin is better than VNC to control a remote PC. It only works with Windows PCs, but the increased speed and encryption is nice.
