New feature: send message to author
Okay, I just put up this new feature from b2evolution/Phoenix on my blog: next to every post and every comment, you'll see a little envelope. When you click on it, you're offered to send a message to the author.
The message gets sent by email, but you never see the email address... for (quite) obvious spam defeating reasons.
I'm not sure though if that's enough. The form itself might become a (comment) spam target and I'll get twice as much comment spam as usual.
Worse, the commenters might get some of it too... Humm... :roll: I just want to run this for a few days and see how it works before I take it down... :-/
Anyway, let me know how you feel about it. Thanks.
PS: there may be some other bugs due to software upgrade. Please let me know and I'll correct asap.
Charsets in MySQL 4.1
Once you start messing with charsets in MySQL you eventually get to a situation where the default charset for your database is UTF-8 but you want to import old backups in their own charset, for instance ISO-LATIN-1.
But when you import it, MySQL thinks it's UTF-8 and all your specials chars get messed up.
Simple solution, add this at the end of your CREATE TABLE statements:
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci
More in the MySQL Manual.
Note: this does not convert your data, this does tell MySQL that those particular tables are in another charset. I think, if you want to convert, you need to change the charset of your connection at the time you do the import (using the --default-character-set
switch for example). Gotta re-check that though... but I think it can be overridden like this:
SET NAMES latin1
iPod de grande consommation
Thierry reprend un post de Engadget ironisant sur le "cimetière des iPod" dont des nouveaux modèles sortent plus vite que les piles des anciens ne s'usent...
Mmmh... est-ce qu'on parle de cimetière pour les téléphones mobiles de Nokia et tant d'autres?
Et avant ça, est-ce qu'on parlait de cimetière pour les Swatch?
Et avant ça, est-ce qu'on parlait de cimetière pour la collection prêt à porter de l'année dernière dont le tissu n'était même pas encore usé?
Elle est belle, hein, notre société de consommation?! |-|
iPod nano & co
Hier soir Steve Jobs a annoncé quelques nouveautés autour d'iPod et d'iTunes. J'ai trouvé que le show était un peu moins captivant que le précédent à la WWDC 2005, mais on peut quand même retenir quelques news intéressantes:
