A few days ago Amber pointed out the ugly dotted outlines that appear around every link on the Instinct site. The fixes… fix one & fix two. Why does Internet Explorer make everything hard I ask you…

300 + MedicSite + colour mod
The 300 workout looks quite interesting – I think in a past life I was a Spartan warrior, and in another past life there is no question as to whether or not I was a Samurai. Either way checkout these links if you want a warriors body…

The 300 workout
ColourMod is great little widget that I’ve yet to try – but it looks fantastic! Also check out the Galleria.
Arcaplay has a nice little myspace thing and I want to see how it works….
Cabir Virus – Awesome!
I was having dinner on Friday night with Amber and her folks when my phone started vibrating in my pocket “exciting” and to my surprise it wasn’t somebody sending me a good night text but lo and behold it was somebody in the restaurant trying to send me a phone virus over bluetooth!! My N70 went ape and would not stop trying to accept cabir.sis files so I had to shut her down and restart the phone in off-line more, then disable blue tooth which let me resume my dinner in peace.
When I got home I trashed the file and found out what it was on the net. Now we’re okay again but hot damn! I feel sorry for the group of non techie looking ladies whom I suspect had the phone virus in the first place… sigh… oh well back to work.

Gmail “Out of Office”
Is fantastic little piece of functionality. Because its not easy to setup out of office stuff for non geeks using Sendmail on apache I instead forwarded my @instinct.co.nz email to my gmail, and setup an out of office responder that sends a vacation message using an instinct.co.nz return email address! Very nice google… very nice indeed.

WordPress Permalinks using Apache2 on Debain
We wasted a good hour or two trying to work out this issue the other day. Quite franky I can’t stand Debian for hosting websites – sure its okay to use for large network applications, and I am certain then many an old bearded linux geek wearing “I’m the 16 year old girl your were talking to online last night” t-shirts might beg to differ but for your run of the mill website go Centos or Fedora all the way!!!
WordPress Permalinks using Apache2 on Debain
If you’re running Apache2 on Debian stable, in order to install the rewrite module you simply need to:
# a2enmod rewrite
then restart the webserver:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
WP 2.1 Hidden Editor Buttons
I found this via Weblog tools. I think that the hidden buttons are great – it would be much better if they were not Easter Eggs at all but features. They should either be visible all the time, or it should at least remember your choice to display them or not, or maybe there should be a show/hide button. Hopefully that will come later…
WordPress 2.1 Hidden Editor Buttons An Easter Egg was found by Chris in WordPress 2.1. Just hit alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) to toggle the advanced editor features/buttons in the TinyMCE WYSIWYG interface. alt-v, instead of alt-shift-v works on my Firefox. Via Reviewsaurus.com
Also found via Digg: You can also use alt-shift-n to automatically spell check your post.
Google Apps to Become Paid Service
Business Week reports Google Apps is becoming a paid service soon for companies who wish to use it for their domain. Disney and Pixar are reportedly thinking about switching to Google Apps innstead of using Microsoft Office. Could this be the end of a monopoly? Or the start of a new one?
