No Robot, Please.

Monday, June 28th, 2004

Sometimes I don’t want some of my stuff on line to be indexed. Two things that needs to be done.
First: create a robots.txt file and contents will look like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Then in html
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,nofollow”>

Brilliant movie

Thursday, June 24th, 2004

I just saw a most brilliant movie, its Tampopo (All Movie, imdb, nytimes) by Juzo Itami. Damn, it was good. Very Monty Python like, “…and now something completely different…” and has awesome food scenes. Ramen, of course, French, Italian (how to eat spaghetti), DIm Sum on the train (?), Moo Shoo Duck, Zaru Soba, Korean […]

It has been 12 days already!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004

I figured, “Wow, this is great, I’ll have plenty of time to build my son’s webpage, redesign my blog page and install Word press, brush up on my php and flash skills, rebuild my home server to be Fedora Core 2, try out new FireFox0.9, update my Japaneseballplayers.com website, read a book on how to […]

Road to wireless-less-less

Wednesday, June 16th, 2004

I bought new battery for my laptop… it is pretty awesome. I can now go couples of hours without power cable. Now I need to really fix my wireless situation (past related posting 1 and 2). After googling a few hours I found linux-wlan.org’s list of wireless card that is reported to work with linux. […]

Baby displays its warning or error messages by crying. When that happens, possible cause is as follows. He:

And my wise friend Joel has warned me, it could […]

Middle name

Saturday, June 12th, 2004

(”Ichiro” in kanji) is spelled 一朗 (should show up since this is utf-8 page…) For Japanese Kanji character meaning, “Ichi”「一」 as everyone know is “one” or “first”. “Ro”’s 「朗」meaning is here (in japanese), another reading for that word is “Hogaraka” 「朗らか」Meaning … can’t find a right english word for it… “Fine, bright, cheerful” […]

clean (x)html/css. over the years I have accumulated bunch of junk on the template… some of the css rules I sometimes re-used from other site that I’ve done or something that has lots of rules that […]

Very simple php snippet

Wednesday, June 9th, 2004

Cuz I always forget and keep rewriting the same thing taking as long each time…

//simple form
<form action=”index.php” method=”get”>
Enter a var: <input type=”text” name=”var” size=”3″ />
<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”GO” />
</form>
//and simple results
<?php
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[’var’])){
print “Your var is “.($HTTP_GET_VARS[’var’]);
}else{
print “No var set”;
}
?>

Word Press

Tuesday, June 8th, 2004

OK, I think I have a plan. One of word press developer’s blog has detailed collection of how to switch from Movable Type to Word Press links. Word Press is written in php which I prefer anyway, I also hear that MT’s “build” and “search” is a memory hog.
I am watching season finale of Sopranos. […]
