As I have blogged in this post, I am currently using the XSD_Snapr plugin for WordPress to show preview bubbles for each external link.
Today, I stumbled across a post with the title “How to Turn Off Snap Preview on WordPress Blogs” on lorelle.wordpress.com where the usefulness of those preview bubbles is heavily discussed.
I have started [...]

I don’t know why, but a couple of days ago, I felt the urge to look for those old Infocom games on the internet… wait… what did you say? You do not know Infocom? Shame on you!
Infocom has blessed the early computer gamerz with dozens of hilarious text adventures, like e.g. the famous “Hitchhiker’s Guide [...]

After using “Trillian” for quite some time, I was looking for a better multi-protocol instant messenger - one that supports more accounts (like e.g. Google Talk) on an open source basis being highly configurable. I think “Pidgin” works really nice.

Official “Pidgin” website:
www.pidgin.im

Note:
You should also have a look at the “Guifications” plugin.

Not so long ago, I got rid of the Falbum plugin because it caused some problems with 3 columns templates.

b) doesn’t cause the same problems as Falbum and
c) is highly configurable so that it can easily be integrated in a new theme.
It [...]

From the author’s website (quoting):
Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. (end of qoute)
