Results of Games Corinthians

February 4 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

At the request of friends put on the blog a spreadsheet with the results of games for Corinthians in all competitions in which they are participating.

I am not a faithful supporter of the powerful helm, but a supporter of bitter Botafogo ... if the sheet is outdated or incorrect, the fault is not mine, it is they who will update!

New [old] plugins Journal

February 3 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

In this wave of "blog best ever" that I am, I thought to include three more to WordPress plugins:

  • Absolute Comments - to answer a direct comment on the administration screen, sending e-mail with the answer to those who commented
  • WordPress Mobile Edition - displays the blog adapted to the small screen when someone accesses a cellular
  • 404 Notifier - send e-mail when an error 404 (Page Not Found) occurs in the blog

They are old plugins, so tomorrow I search to see if there is better option or later.

Today I put the plugin WP Minify pra work. He joins [almost] all CSS and JavaScript files into a single file (by type of course) and let him have "minimized" (no comments, spaces, line breaks, etc.)..

The advantage of this plugin is to reduce the number of requests that the browser must make to the server, and reduce the size of scripts making the blog load faster.

Cessation Blog

February 2 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

My blog was so abandoned, that on 11 December, the analysis in Google Analytics stopped working and just yesterday I realized. He went on to record 10 visits per day, instead of 4000 that I still have and it took me 2 months to notice!

The problem was the plugin Google Analyticator that the latest version changed to an asynchronous call to the script ga.js for speed, but the tracking codes personalizing that I would have to be upgraded to that version. This is to give update plugins automatically by WordPress, without even reading the release notes ...

Now this will be answering more comments, improving and making the subject of performance tuning. Version 2.9 of WordPress has several mechanisms to let the blog faster and lighter, as the wp_enqueue_script () and wp_enqueue_style (), then want to study them to leave the blog even better.

Permission Error in Wordpress

February 2 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

I use the AdSense Deluxe plugin in WordPress, then I updated WP to version 2.9.1, I got error "Not enough permissions to access this page" when trying to open the configuration page of this plugin, even logged in as admin.

I have not found anything on the Internet specifically this error, but got the translation file of the WP and found the original message in English: "You do not have sufficient permission to access this page. With esssa message was easier to find the solution pro problem. I even found a post that spoke directly to the error AdSenseDeluxe.

The solution is very simple, just change the "admin_head ()" for "admin_menu ()" in the source code of the plugin. Is in line 1085.

New theme for Blog

January 31 by HoloCoCos 2 comments »

This week I discovered in Google's Webmaster that my blog is 100% slower than the rest of the web sites, even with all the optimizations I did in Wordpress, Apache and PHP.

My only solution is to change the theme of the blog to a lighter theme. Today I spent almost 4 hours looking for a Wordpress theme pra nice and light, but it was impossible to find one that has all the features I seek.

Then lowered 22 themes that have some of them and will test them to see what else I like.

If you have a suggestion to use the theme, you can leave a comment.

Avatar, Shopping and Parking

January 31 by HoloCoCos 2 comments »

For some time I wanted to watch 3D Avatar, but since it can 't take my daughter because she is only 4 years, but today I was able to go: it is the grandparents' house.

First a shock: the whole ticket costs $ 24.00 amazing! Almost gave up, but as I wanted to go, Marcela agreed.

D No Shopping, Shopping our favorite, had only a dubbed version and the Center Norte had the subtitled version, but for my happiness Marcela preferred the subtitled version. I prefer the original version always, even in Japanese or German as Spirited Away or Der Baader Meinhof Komplex. You lose a little of the essence of the film.

Arriving in North Shopping Center I remembered why we do not like so much there: no parking spaces! We walked around the park (which is quite large) and decided to return on Sunday afternoon, "unless Baba give us a wave when they go out," as the Marcela and as if by miracle, the first corner a car started to leave ...

We got line ... and exhausted! There was no more tickets to the 20:30 session, the last of the day. We were out of the queue when a man offered to sell the pair of tickets anywhere. He had bought over the Internet and would buy a 3rd time because a friend decided to go with them but run out. We buy, the value of the ticket even! Second sort of day.

We stay in a very good place and particularly found the film pretty cool. The picture is really impressive and the ecosystem of the planet is staggering. Disappoints a little focus and imperialist arms of the film. There is a diplomatic solution where one side gives in, only war where one side loses ... unfortunately.

We had watched "The Battle for Earth" a few weeks ago and it's amazing how the theme and storyline of both films is similar: humans invading another planet for natural resources, wiping out its population, the local peaceful and integrated with nature, living in a giant tree, struggling to survive.

There is no comparison between the visual graph Avatar with EARTH, but the solution found in the Earth is much more worthy of the Avatar.

Full HD Format in FAT32

January 19 for HoloCoCos 1 comment »

There is much of a fan and always NTFS format my drives in this format, but I just need to format a drive with the old FAT32 and Windows 7 left only format up to 32GB ... I had to format 200GB!

I discovered the fantastic fat32format, only 20kb, the Ridgecrop Consultants, who did the job in less than 4 seconds!

Nothing like a good nerd for us to make what we want and not what others want us to do.

Troller - The ideal car for Sao Paulo

December 15 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

The Troller Veículos Especiais S / A was founded in 1997 in Ceará, and its flagship the Troller T4, who took the stand of the Toyota Bandeirante better car to Brazil. In 2007 Ford bought the Troller, but even so this is my dream car!

Troller

During the flooding that occurred in Sao Paulo last week, when cars were submerged or floating, people stranded on the hoods or in the backs of trucks, only brave Trollers saw the flood, as shown in the video below:

And that's nothing compared to what he can do, like the videos below:

Plagiarism in Advertising?

December 15 by HoloCoCos 3 Comments »

Several years ago I was amazed at the video below, where 3D animations were not so popular:

The video was created by Wayne Lytle and Dave Crognale of Animusic and is called "Pipe Dream". It was released in 2001 ...

This week saw an advertisement Multiplus loyalty that is very similar:

There is a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism ...

Drive the Wii from the Serial Number

December 7 by HoloCoCos No Comments »

I found the site WiiDrives a page where you enter the first 6 characters of the serial number of the Nintendo Wii (2 letters and 4 numbers) and he says what is the drive of the Wii and what chips Unlock will work on it.

In my case there is 100% chance of being a D2E drive and can be unlocked by the following chips:

  • D2Pro9 v2 (D2C2), v3 (D2E) - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • Wasabi - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • Wiizard - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • D2Sun v1.31 +, v3 + - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • D2Lite - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • WiiKey 2 - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E
  • DriveKey - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E, D3
  • Wasabi DX - D2A, DMS, D2B, D2C, D2C2, D2E, D3

I've read and heard very well Wasabi DX, but it costs in Canada, $ 60 with the clip that fits over the chip for the Wii. Only the Wasabi DX without the clip costs $ 45.

Another great option is the DriveKey, which costs $ 45 (a version of 0 ohms, which runs the original games).
