EZPT: Granting Anonymous user read access to a sections

Friday, September 15th, 2006

I created a section so that I can create a simple template overide over all articles in a certain section. Once I created the section I realized that anonymous users do not have access to this section.

Note to Backpackit

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

Please create a search function, so that I can search my 150 writeboards to see where I mention a specific company. Even simple tagging mechanism would work for me. Right now it sorta sucks.

I like the pink one, can I have it?

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Stella’s words when I showed her Apple’s new ipod nano line up.
As everyone has already heard Steve announced a nice new line-up of products, and for the first time in a while I’m pretty happy with what they are offering.

Democracy Now
The guy from loose change sounded like a jerk and called everyone a liar, the guy from popular mechanics violated Godwin’s law.

EZPT: Displaying contents of template variables

Monday, September 11th, 2006

How to grow Marijuana

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Just to prove that you can bump into anything on the internet, here’s a nice tutorial on How to grow Marijuana. Pretty interesting production system this guy has.

Thankfully, the fact that I can’t even grow a radish probably keeps me out of trouble.
Now that I’m on the topic, everyone has got to see Saving Grace. […]
