10 Years of Eclipse

Abner — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:12:46 +0000

Eclipse Community is celebrating its 10 years releasing Eclipse Timeline. It’s a ten years line where you can register: yourself, when you started to use Eclipse and what are your favorite projects.

It’s a great idea and I think, it will be interesting to see the final statistics! So, if you use Eclipse, please join the Eclipse Timeline!

Happy Hacking!

Desde principios de este año tuve la gran oportunidad de compartir con varias comunidades de software libre esta conferencia. En mi opinión es una de las conferencias más motivadoras que he dado y por eso me animo a publicar el video para que más personas puedan verlo.

Gravatar Hovercards enabled at modlost.net

I’ve just enabled another Jetpack feature: “Gravatar Hovercards” for comments. It took me a little bit because there was a hidden conflict between theme Jenny and Jetpack but hopefully it’s solved.

Happy hacking!

Adding sharing links at modlost.net

Abner — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 15:46:53 +0000

Getting up early is not one of my favorites activities but somedays you just get up at 3:00 am and can’t sleep, I could assume that an internal bug in my sleeping program threw an exception! What ever, it’s good to have a list of things to do when it happens (GTD).

The task: “Adding sharing links at modlost.net” was in my someday list for a long time ago, so I decided to hack a little bit about that. It was too early in the morning and I had a lot of time.

I started with a quite simple search in the web and I found Jetpack by WordPress. It’s an interesting project/business idea with some free (sharing, gravatar, short links, etc.) and paid (coming soon) features and I already had it installed because WordPress Stats new updates will be bundle in Jetpack so it was the obvious option to take.

Sadly, Jetpack doesn’t support Google+ out-of-the-box and its “new service” feature didn’t fit very well when you use it in index pages. So I had to check the source code and modify it to allow links to share in Google+, Twitter and Facebook at the bottom of every post, page and index page.

It will need more work to align better all the bottoms so after fixing that I’m going to share the patch.

Happy hacking!!!

Evernote & Skitch

Abner — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 05:46:46 +0000

Early today when I was just looking at Google Reading, this new took my attention: “Evernote acquires Skitch!“. Immediately, I started to think about how they could be integrated or – even better – how useful will be if Skitch is embedded in Evernote.

Both applications are really important in my daily activities so I can’t wait to see the results of this acquisition. If you didn’t know about them,… what are you waiting for? Try them!
