Once again, FlyingRodent calls it like it is...

"It's clear now that the Labour government's approach to almost all issues has been precisely the same, whether it's benefit fraud or antisocial behaviour, terrorism or smoking in public places... Matters trifling, middling or massive, the response was identical. Just point out some bastards who everyone can agree are getting up to no good and taking the piss, frame it in the nastiest way possible to get us on board, then pass some wildly disproportionate legislation granting themselves executive power to do whatever they like."

Skype

(1) (0)
I was recently asked if Skype was allowed in our corporate network...again.  Seemingly there is something in the handbook that states; "All employees must ask at least once a month if Skype is allowed".

Obviously my answer was "no", but when asked why, I thought a picture would explain better than any words could.

YUI Editor in Movabletype v0.9.9

(9) (0)
Fair few little tweaks here and a change of thinking around the config file.

Major thanks to Dav Glass (the author of the Editor) for helping me out by pointing out the blindingly obvious and not getting mad at my idiocy!

Download YUI Rich Text Editor for Movabletype 4 v0.9.9

Version Notes:
0.9.9
  • Added 'ConfigYUIBase' to config.js so that you can host the YUI build files locally (this will negate the need for different versions of my plugin)
  • Moved to dynamic loading of required JS and CSS files to enable above, stopped short of the YUI loader for performance reasons
  • Added a function to config.js with a reference to the editor object that is called after load so that your own customisations can be added
  • Added full screen view
  • Fixed HTML editor box showing wrong size in FF (still an issue in IE)
  • Added insert file option that uses MT's asset dialog (if you have ConfigUseMTAssets set true)
  • Rearranged new buttons on menu
  • Fixed code to adjust containing DIV that was wrong, but somehow worked.  Thanks to Dav.
  • Various tweaks and bits to existing code/functions and additional comments

'MediaDefender' shoot themselves in the foot

(0) (0)
For those that don't know, "MediaDefender" is a company set up to 'protect' copyright holders from illegal file sharing, which they don't do by contacting people but by severe attacks on servers and ISPs they deem as breaching copyright.  A few weeks ago they managed to heavily attack and bring down a perfectly legitimate BitTorrent tracker and the business that surrounded it.

YUI RTE in MovableTyle v0.9.5

(0) (0)

Updated version, please see original post for details.

VERSION NOTES:
-------------------------------
0.9.5 - Nearly at final
    ~ Now uses MT's asset managment as an option (default is on)
    ~ IE7 still throws a wobbly with the toolbar every now and then,
      some times it just lays the alignment buttons in column, other
      times the buttons are all over the place.
    ~ Removed the MT convert_breaks drop down as have built in a HTML
      editor and having this AND the HTML edit function was not compatible.
    ~ Form tags are still removed, but the contents left behind, this can be
      changed easily, let me know.
