How to Stop RedPlum Coupon Mailings

jarod — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:36:48 +0000

This was bugging me. Every month I get these stupid coupons and ads that go straight into recycling. With every thrown out mailing I felt worse and worse about it. I never opted to get this! The RedPlum website wasn’t much help either. So a google search revealed an article written by John Mark Engle. [...]

Windows 7 – manage jump list and require password for run as admin :)

jarod — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:30:09 +0000

I wanted to log my findings in keeping programs, files etc secure and hidden from just anyone who may stumble on an open work session :) My goal was to allow a browser session to remain open, and to open recent session when executing the program from cold start. I do not want the recent items to list in the Jump List in Start Menu. I do not want just anyone who has access to my PC to execute this session w/o password first. This is my solution. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium...

Joomla Frontend Editor hides under template or objects – SOLUTION

jarod — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:53:35 +0000

Problem: Your frontend editor in Joomla breaks the template or objects on your site when opened. Annoying indeed! Solution: Amazing code <?php if ((@$_REQUEST["task"] == “edit”) || (@$_REQUEST["task"] == “new”)) { ?> – basically IF the editor is opened then… <style type=”text/css”> .site_container2 {display:none;} .site_container6 {width:100%;} .site_container {height:100%;} .copyright {display:none;} This CSS is used (this [...]

Collapse Joomla module for logged in users.

Problem: When logged in the User Menu was causing two modules to break out of the site frame. The client had to have scroll-bars against everyone’s wishes… Solution: Using a few built in Joomla tools $user =& JFactory::getUser(); – simple means of organizing objects by user if ($user->get(‘guest’) == 1) – if visitor is guest [...]

Lateralus

jarod — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:55:53 +0000

I’ve enjoyed many of the musical art works produced by Tool over the years. It never gets old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralus_(song) The song is about living open-mindedly, or laterally, instead of narrow-mindedly, or linearly. Counting between pauses, the syllables in Maynard James Keenan’s vocals during the verses form the first few Fibonacci numbers, ascending and descending:[4][5] (1) [...]

Day of gratitude

jarod — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:04:33 +0000

This year I spend turkey day with my girls family in DC. I’ve never been, crazy. Maryland is a beautiful state especially after hours of West Virginia interstate. It’s barely 5:20pm and nearly pitch black, a reminder of the time of year! I’m thinking a lot about new years. What resolutions to make, only to [...]

2010 – hey

jarod — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 05:18:37 +0000

holy crap – 2011 is here! Not completely, but here I am thinking about it. Tonight I realized I may live to see the eighties again, except that I will see it aged, rather than in my insolent youth – lol. Where I am, who I realize of myself and the competition I have with [...]
