Online Startup Idea: A Worthy Photo Editor

Online Startup Idea: A Worthy Photo Editor
I needed a simple photo manipulation the other day. Just to cut two parts of the image and bond them together. It turns out that none of the seven (!) online photo editing tools I tried can perform this simple operation. And not to mention preserving transparency on the image. Also while I am at it, it seems they all have a very serious issue with the business model. They are all free but then rotate ads as you work instead.

How to get images from posts (and videos)

Oct 17th, 2009
Post thumbs on your home page or category archives look very snazzy. Here is a function you can put into your theme functions.php and call it in your index or archive templates, to show the thumbnail image extracted from the post. This is a quick and simple hack. The function will just get the url of the image, or in case you use Smart Youtube plugin the representing image of the video. That means you still need to resize it with CSS or create and save thumbnail.

What can we learn from those 100 yrs old

What can we learn from those 100 yrs old
Don't rely on medicine! I never ever heard a 100 yrs old claiming they did it because of medicine or drugs. Always without exception it will be something related to their lifestyle or food.  And it took some time until that fact crystallized. Today we are often convinced that no matter what kind of (unhealthy) lifestyle we live, there will be always some kind of miracle medicine to take care of no matter how badly messed up we are.

Selling my Car: Audi S2
It's been a fun and exciting ride (too exciting at moments) but it is time to let go if it. I am selling a 1991 Audi S2, four wheel drive coupe, with leather interior and 350 BHP.  It goes like crazy and is a real beauty on the streets.Here are the details of the ad on mobile.de. I am changing countries soon so I need to sell it by December. Hope it finds a good home.
