Just a quick post to congratulate Spain with their great victory against Germany last night. Winning the UEFA European Championship sure was a sweet one as they’ve not had great success in these kind of Championships in decades. For me personally it was even sweeter as the only goal came after around 30 minutes by Liverpool’s own Fernando “The Man” Torres

I watched the game in the centre of Fuengirola, Spain. Atmosphere and all simply outstanding. Even the police drove around with flags on their cars. Now I can only hope my hearing will return to normal…

Once again - Congratulations!!

Revetec, a little known company from the Gold Coast region of Australia, may be on to something huge: they’ve created an engine that is 50% smaller, 50% lighter, has 50% lower emissions and is cheaper to manufacture than a conventional internal combustion engine of the same horsepower.

The prototype vehicle is shown above. You can read more about this “green invention” here and here.

I’ve currently been working on an update for one of the companies websites. The whole site runs on WordPress, my “new” favourite CMS. However, before going live the site is running on a different location than when ready. I noticed that the import/export feature doesn’t change the URI’s inside the posts and pages. Concequently I needed something to make the “move” as quick and automatic as possible.

Inspired by Alex King’s “Shortcut Macros” plugin I decided to make something similar that would convert any root URI references with a macro, ##root to be specific. To illustrate lets say your domain is http://www.example.com. So whenever you write or update a page/post the following will happen ;

http://www.example.com/link/to/page_or_post -> ##root/link/to/page_or_post

When viewing the page the plugin will automatically reconvert #root to your blogs URI as defined by get_option(’home’). This way your internal links will always be uptodate wherever you move your blog.
