Ram's Technology Notes
This is a continuation of the series where I attempt to build a solution to display WordPress posts with attached images such that the post content itself doesn’t show any of the images and the sidebar instead displays the images. In my previous post I described creating a simple WordPress plugin with an empty widget….
To follow-up from my previous post, I had a unique requirement for our personal blog which was to display images attached to a post on the sidebar and not in the post. The first item I needed to figure out was how do I hook into the WordPress system to make changes. WordPress has a…
We have a personal blog that I host using wordpress on my domain (just like this one). Posts on the personal blog are made by someone who’s not into technology and isn’t interested in details – they’d much rather prefer something that’s user friendly and just works. The posts are usually made using Windows Live…

I have had the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH (v1, A0A3 h/w version) router for over 3 years now. At the time I bought it, my criteria for selecting a router were: It should support gigabit Ethernet (GigE) It should support 802.11N (draft at the time) It should be able to provide coverage throughout our home Price, Specs,…
I run an Ubuntu guest on VMWare Player (host OS is Windows 7) at home. For the longest time, one big annoyance has been that I didn’t have my 5 button mouse (Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 – but this tip applies to any 5 button mouse) working properly. Specifically, the two buttons on…
Any new technology endeavor starts with a familiar introduction – a way for the programmer/user to get the system to greet you with “Hello, World!”. I believe this tradition started with Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie’s famous book about the C programming language. Here’s my “Hello, World!” in this blog – I hope to share…
