I hacked up my computer table to make way for the dual 19″ LCDs. Now my workstation looks like this:
awwww yeeaaaaah!
Gone dual
awwww yeeaaaaah!

Post B-bay goodness
My birthday gift to myself:
Oh sorry, that was a lot of stuff… it’s the mixer in the middle. A Behringer Xenyx 1204. I feel compelled to explain why I chose this after researching… but I’ll save that for the next post (because I have to leave in a while)
Powerbook status (and other stuff)
This is my second post from my blog’s web-interface since God knows when. I’m already missing Ecto. Unfortunately, I’m too tamad to install the Windows version.
It’s official (at least as far as I’m concered): the Powerbook’s hard disk has physical damage. The good news is that I was able to recover most of, if not all my important files. So now I’m not worried about having this unit serviced – they can do whatever they want with it.
Another Lightbox hack

When opening an image via lightbox, closing an image can get very counter intuitive. The close button is at the bottom right, which sucks if you have an image that’s larger than the viewing area. Trying to move that close button on the upper right can be too tedious as it requires a lot of modification on the DOM script and CSS. The easier thing would be to simply allow users to close the image when they click on it, after all, what else does one person usually do after viewing an image but close it right?
A hack for this is easy to do, however this usually broke Lightbox‘s “group” mode – instead of moving to the previous/next image, it prioritizes the close function assigned to the image container instead of the group mode’s prev/next overlays – resulting in the image closing anywhere you click.
The trick was to find another place where I could inject similar code, while making sure that it only does it when it’s viewing a single image. Read More
Challenge your ears
I rediscovered a great article which talked about the mosquito (or near ultrasonic) range of frequencies young people use for their ringtones as to not alert “adults” should their phones “ring” in class.
