About
SysAdmin/TechAdvisor by day, errr pretty much the same by night I’m afraid. The purpose of this website is to have somewhere I can keep a list of useful findings that I come across when I try out something new. When faced with a new install of some kind, whether it be a new blogging software like this WordPress you’re staring at or the latest Ubuntu distro just installed on my laptop, there is always issues. Either something just plain don’t work after an upgrade (hello Gentoo…), or you’re not totally satisfied with the end result. Either way, some small amount of hacking is generally needed. And if I find the problem, chances are some other poor soul out there is staring at the same problem. And most likely with a worse starting point than me for actually figuring out the problem for himself.
You can reach me by my first name Olav, at this domain, if you have any questions or comments. Put something non spam-like in the subject, my delete finger is very trigger happy… Or if you like, just register in the forum and post your question there.

Hi, I really like your Wordpress plugins for Google News and CNN news. I was wondering if it was possible to create a plugin for Newstin news (they have much more sources and I run pretty targeted blogs). I am willing to pay for that plugin some reasonable amount. Please let me know

Hi, i am uising your google news plugin, it works great.
I made some modifications to the code so it looks prettyer.
changes mad:
- better alignment of images and list icon ()
- added more space between news
- news open on a new page, instead of openning in the same page
- I would like to email you the modified .php file, i hope i have improved the plugin.
Regards and thanks for writing such a cool plugin
