LaTeX math display problem

Due to an unknown reason, part of the equations published on this website using the LatexRender plugin were damaged – minus signs were partially replaced with “8211;”. I tried to correct all occurences – if you find something that I missed, please let me know.
While doing the changes and trying to find easier way to [...]

Really fast upgrade…

it seems that the WordPress automatic upgrade procedure got (again) simpler! Worked like a charm. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to the developers!
Just the MyLinkOrder was making trouble again – will have to check out in more detail what’s going on. Anyway, it seems its reconfiguration worked…

Facebook profile…

… after a long hesitation, I also created my profile on Facebook. The link to the profile was added to the left sidebar (it’s the small blue square icon with white letter f inside). Good thing is, that Facebook now supports human-readable profile names and web links.
My profile name is lubos.vrbka. I know, not much [...]

Categories and content update

Continuing the update of the presentation (merging some categories, removing unnecessary stuff, …), I realized that the widget allowing to show the list of links with arbitrary ordering (My Link Order) doesn’t seem to display anything… strange. At the moment, there are both Link and My Link Order installed, but just the former works. Will [...]

WordPress update

The time has come to perform another upgrade of my WordPress installation, this time to the version 2.8.
As usually, the upgrade process went automatically and smoothly. The new version has an impressive list of new features… let’s hope it will work as good as the old one. There is no need to doubt it, [...]

Facebook-WordPress connect

I am just trying connecting my Facebook account with my WordPress blog. If everything works OK, then all new posts (including this one) and pages should be displayed in Facebook as well – that would indeed be fine…
… and since it isn’t OK and doesn’t fullfill my expectations and requirements, I deactivated it again. This [...]

Categories changed

In order to allow for easier and more consistent navigation through the posts, some of the post categories were changed.
The former categories Research and Teaching were merged with Professional. Culinary stuff and Photography are now separated from Personal. Technology includes posts related to this site and also to Linux, notebooks and other stuff.

Nokia 6680 synchronization with Evolution over Bluetooth (Debian Linux)

Having only one USB cable and two computers I want to synchronize with my phone and being lazy to carry the cable with me all the time, I was “forced” to get also the other connection possibility – Bluetooth – working. It wasn’t that hard actually, but there are some details which I would like [...]

Nokia 6680 synchronization with Evolution over USB (Debian Linux)

I managed to get synchronization over USB between my Nokia 6680 mobile phone and Evolution on Debian Linux (Lenny) working. It took me quite some time to get all the necessary information, but the following set-up and configuration was actually quite easy.
I found the following pages very useful:

udev related stuff in order to get communication [...]

Upgrade and cleanup

The installation was upgraded to the latest available version. At the same time, I performed cleanup of the data and removed some of the old (and no longer actual) downloads.
I plan to put some new stuff here in the near future, but don’t have time to do that at the moment… so stay tuned.
