Idec en route vers Cadix.

October 06, 2004 | 1 Minutes Read

Francis Joyon, sur Idec, va tenter d’établir un nouveau record Cadix - San salvador (Bahamas) sur un parcours que l’on appelle la ‘Route de la découverte’

Francis est “[…] sur le trimaran matin, midi et soir, je n’arrète pas de bricoler, car il y a toujours une foule de petites choses faire” Il fait tout lui même, sur un bateau qui est censé être mené par un équipage de gaillards surentraînés et pris en charge par une équipe à terre imposante…

Il part prochainement de La Trinité afin de se placer en stand-by à Cadix. Aucun temps n’a encore été établi sur ce parcours en solitaire, et la seule référence est le record de Playstation, bateau plus grand mené par un équipage au complet. Francis ne pense pas pouvoir battre ce record, mais essaira de “[…] (s’) en approcher, dans la mesure du possible”.

    New generation acronym replacer

    October 05, 2004 | 0 Minutes Read

    This post describes a new kind of acronym replacer, where you don’t need to touch a line of PHP to define new acronyms, and can make them link directly to some place. For example, AOL could become AOL.You can get the plugin here directly.I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t give you an opinion, but it does sound good, doesn’t it?

    Teaser Style Wordpress plugin

    October 04, 2004 | 1 Minutes Read

    Another useless wordpress plugin from my little factory here :). This one takes the teaser text, delimited between the beginning of a post and the <!–more–> tag, and wraps it in a <div> with class morediv. This then allows you style it differently using your style sheet, doing for example: .morediv{ font-weight:bold; }which is exactly what I have here.To install it, either put the source code in a php file or get the gzip file and uncompress it.Utterly deprecated. This is her...

    This plugin shows a specific page for each author, showing the number of posts published and some of the data entered in the Wordpress admin section, i.e. URL, AIM ICQ number, etc… except email! But it can provide a contact form that will send an email to the author’s address.You can use it as an ‘About’ page for a personnal weblog or to give each author their own page in a collaborative blog.To install it, download the source code and save it in a php file or get the gzip file and unpack it....
