If you work with wordpress on a regular basis you know that it has a “wp_page_menu()” template tag/function with which you can generate a list of your pages. It’s especially useful if you use it as a simple CMS. Now this tag generates html in this form: ‘<ul><li><a…>link</a><li>……</li></ul>’. You can theme it to show something like this:
This is achieved by “display:inline” -ing all li elements and adding a 1px border to the right side of the li’s, and adding a separate style rule for the rightmost side li’s border to none. It’s all fine and dandy - but the border usually reaches below and above the text. Some of you might think it’s not a big deal - and rightly. However sometimes you just have that proverbial itch to fix it and come up with a solution that gives you this instead:
Ever happened to you that a hard drive in your computer just seemed to die? Like showing no files after turning it on… or emitting strange clicking noises…
Well, usually the case is not that bad. In most cases if you put your drive into the fridge for a few hours, (or put it into the freezer for a few minutes) then the micro-glitches that cause such errors - usually the electronics - are temporarily healed.
This means that you can plug it into a working computer (use e-sata or usb2 at least) and copy all your important data off of it in a rush.
This is a tip I got from someone just recently. I thought that some of you might be happy to know this.
This is just a short flow of thoughts about Leonard Cohen that came to me as I am listening a compilation of his best songs.
I do not know his older works - I only knew this guy from the soundtrack of the movie “Natural born killers”.
There were 2 tracks by Leonard in there: “The future”, and “Waiting for the miracle”. I loved these songs.
They were of course kind of rude in their own way and a bit depressing to some. He’s kind of like a sad guy who knows a lot about life with a low-rusty voice - which I happen to like very much.
I also know that he wrote the song “Hallelujah” - which many have covered in their own good/bad way.
I include 2 of his best songs here for reference, and for you to listen, if you do not yet know his style. You might or might not like ‘em.
Please listen to them, and see for yourself. If you kind of like these then you should check him out. Watch a few videos on youtube get some of his works, etc.
I am also including an other version of his well known song (from Shrek…). The artists are 4 talented norwegians: Espen Lind(on guitar), Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes, Kurt Nilsen(World Idol).
