WordPress: External RSS Feeds Optimization with KB Advanced RSS

Apart from its own Ice Tea tech blog, Dipot.com also displays two external feeds relating to Optimization and Standards. I needed to optimize the post titles of these two feeds by getting rid of their long suffixes, both for better looks and for more content within the same space.

The feeds were served by the standard […]

PCs and the Internet: Addiction Magnets or just Tools?

The traditional Media (at least in Greece, where I live) don’t treat computing nor the Internet right. I don’t know if  it’s because of ignorance or because they feel threatened by it. However, I do get the impression that, most of the time, when radio, TV or the press mention PCs and/or the Internet it’s […]

Information Technology -How to Optimize IT for Greater Business Value

“… After years of being considered cost centers, IT organizations and service providers have evolved into profit makers. …

Technology providers used to measure their success only in terms of the classic adage, “on time, within budget, and according to clients’ expectations.” However, because of the need to be profitable and manage steep competition from both […]

Optimize Firefox with 9+1 Must Have Add-ons

During my early days as an IT support person (well before USB flash drives, external hard disks and recordable CDs), I picked up the habit to not be dependent on anything not included in Windows (v. 3.0, at the time) if I could help it. So I got used to working on the setups my […]

7 Favorite, Value Adding FriendFeed Applications

I like FriendFeed much better than Twitter; that’s no secret. In a conversation with @Trianta earlier today, it seems the only FriendFeed desktop clients out there are the Adobe Air-based Twhirl and feedalizr. They both leave a lot to be desired. There is also the announcement of  .NET-based FriendFeed Client. Web-based FriendFeed applications are also […]

Music on Hold

I am in search of a simple “music on hold” (and background music) system for the office PBX.

I have already tried a CD player and WinAmp on a PC. The CD is short in duration and eventually wears out. WinAmp is better, but it requires a PC with a dedicated sound card (or every other […]
