Based on the results of my Unobtrusive <a class="zem_slink" title="OpenID Foundation" rel="homepage" href="http://openid.net">OpenID post, it is quite evident that there is a lot of partial <a class="zem_slink" title="Knowledge" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge">knowledge about OpenID out there. While my knowledge on the subject is far from complete, this post is my attempt to share what I have learned with others.

My comment : fc is the fix command of the bash builtin.
This is similar to using `!!` or

when you press f9 'paste' is on , press f9 again and 'paste' is off, and so forth (works in insert-mode and command-mode)

Adding a sub-menu in the wordpress admin menu :)

2010-07-29 2 min read Wordpress

For the impatient ones, first the code:
(in wp-admin folder, open the file menu.php) and locate the code:

$submenu[’edit.php’][10] = array( _x(’Add New’, ’post’), ’edit_posts’, ’post-new.php’ );

and add the below:

$submenu[’edit.php’][7] = array( _x(’Pending’, ’post’), ’edit_posts’, ’edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=post’ );

And now the explanation and why do you need this 🙂

Problem:

There is no direct mechanism to access the pending posts in WP admin. I generally post through email and mark them as pending. So, whenever I go to my admin POSTs page, I will look through the list of pending items and post them as and when required. For this, when I am done with changes in one item, I need to either modify the address bar or need to go to posts link and then click the Pending items.

PuTTY alternatives - AlternativeTo.net

I like PuTTY quite a bit but do not like the fact that it does not have any tab feature. So, if I am working on multiple machines then un-necessarily I will have too many windows open cluttering my desktop. So, here is the result of my quest to find the alternative:
