Snap preview - delayed/timeout load

I saw this function weeks ago. It pops you up a thumnail of the link:

I like this function. It is just like what the search engine, Ask.com, did to display the search results. Even the Wordpress.com started to use it. And I enabled this funtion last week.
But today, there is a serious problem fetching the […]

Show Google Adsense only to searchers

I am not sure whether this is a good idea or not, but I like it and figured out a way doing it by using session.

First, get to know who is from search engines by checking the referers. There are so many search engines to list that I don't want to match their names into [...]

wp_slimstat百度、Live Space Comment

这两天总是想着要把这两件事做好,都知道个大概了,只是要花点时间完成它们。写下来,时刻有个印象。
有件事是先前冤枉百度了,以为只有百度不用UTF-8来编码,还要用GB2312,国内别的搜索引擎估计也是用同样的编码。soso.com至少也是如此。然后后来又发现原来google也干同样的事,只是在它的url里就可以看出来:http://www.google.com/...&ie=gb2312... 或者可能(hl=zh_CN)(百度倒也是有编码信息ie,input encoding,在里面,只不过没有UTF8而已罢了) 。所以来访统计里总是有些乱码。然后php还是可以挺好的处理gb2312和utf8的转换的,回头要把wp_slimstat里的东西改一下。
至于Msn Space(现在是Live Space了)里没有comment的feed,早就是我的心头之恨了,今天学了个好玩的是用 Beautiful Soup 来处理Html文件,还是挺方便的,准备编个网页,来显示一些常去的space的评论吧。

missing a div

Days ago, somehow scorp's blog was experiencing a little problem, as the supposed 2 sub-column section showed only one.
I didn't do anything to her blog but changed a portion of the CSS file by adding these:
.subcolumn1 .entry img {
width: 305px;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 10px;
}
The main point is to restrict the pictrue width so that [...]

Multi-byte Character

It was generally a nice experience along the way using wordpress to support our OHeHLium site. You can always find easy-to-use ways to meet various needs, such as audio plugin for scorp's demanding for playing audio/mp3 within her post, and WPvideo 1.02 for displaying Stone's great finding from Youtube.
Yet, there were some defects. The most [...]
