Google Labs is available in Google Apps (partly)

Today I discovered that Google Labs is available for Google Apps. I’m not sure, perhaps this has been available for a while without my knowledge. Today there are three products available. Google Moderator – Google Moderator makes it easy to gather and prioritize questions or opinions on any topic from a group of people. Google Short Links – Google Short Links allows users to easily create descriptive shortcuts to web URLs.

Labs is coming to Google Apps

I moved my domain to Google Apps a couple a weeks ago. It all works perfectly but I’m missing a couple of Labs services, especially the Reader. According to Google the Labs will be available in three weeks, you can find it here and here.

Lightbox2, ny plugin installerad på bloggen.

Jag har installerat en ny plugin på bloggen och det är LightBox 2. Denna pluginen är till för bildhanteringen och använder sig av (surprise!) LightBox2. Det enda man behöver göra är att lägga på rel="lightbox" alternativt rel="lightbox[ett-set]" om du har flera bilder. Läs mer på hemsidan för denna plugin. Nedan ser ni ett exempel.

Time to upgrade WordPress MU 1.2.5

A few days ago I upgraded my WordPress MU installation. It all went smoothly with no problems at all. Thank you guys at WordPress for doing such a great software. I’m hosting my site at Lunarpages and since it is a shared server you can’t use ssh, so I had to use FTP and cPanel when upgrading. Ok, this is how I upgraded wpmu from 1.2.5 to 1.3. I know that this step isn’t always my first choice but I thought that I would try it anyway, RTFM.

Installing Dbvisualizer on Ubuntu

Since I changed from Windos to Linux Ubuntu I don’t have all of my dev tools installed. One of those tools is the great universal database tool called DbVis from Minq. Minq doesn’t deliver DbVis as synapt package so I had to find a alternative and since I’m not a Linux blackbelt I had to do some googling. I found this blog and this and this that gave me a hint of what to do.

Installing WordPress MU on Lunarpages

I wanted to install a blogging software that everyone in the family could use. Lunarpages has the Fantastico package that contains the WordPress software. Unfortunately this is the single -user version of WordPress and I wanted each and every family member to have their own blog e.g. http://blogs.merikan.com/. This how I did it. Create a subdomain named blogs (blogs.yourdomain.com) Create database wpmu Create db user wpmu and add the user to the database Download the wpmu tar file and extract it on the desktop Now upload the exploded tar file to the root directory of the newly created subdomain named blogs (/www/blogs/) Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing http://blogs.
