Some photos taken on a walk 3 weeks ago (March 11, 2012). We hit 15 C that day, and thought it was warm. Little did we know temperatures would reach the upper 20s soon afterwards, then drop back to the “normal” seasonal range.

Quick way to display a “Category archive” as a page in WordPress

1. In your wp-content/themes folder, copy the “category.php” file to “template-categorypage-categoryname.php”.
2. Edit the template-categorypage-categoryname.php.

1. Add

   <?php /** * Template Name: CategoryName Category page

   <?php /** * Template Name: CategoryName Category page

   to the top of the page.

2. After the first

   ?>

    tag, add

   <?php query_posts('cat=[categoryid]&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>

   <?php query_posts('cat=[categoryid]&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>

   Where [categoryid] is your WordPress numeric category ID.

3. Create a new page and choose the template “CategoryName Category page” from the page attributes sidebar widget.

Anti-Graffiti: Canada Post is doing it right.

Old news, I know. But I just noticed that the “random” postal code distribution in fact favours the jolly old man in red.

Found this info somewhere on the Web… Don’t remember where exactly.

Anyway:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
    <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
    <service>
        <type>_smb._tcp</type>
        <port>445</port>
    </service>
    <service>
        <type>_ssh._tcp</type>
        <port>22</port>
    </service>
    <service>
        <type>_sftp-ssh._tcp</type>
        <port>22</port>
    </service>
    <service>
        <type>_device-info._tcp</type>
        <port>0</port>
        <txt-record>model=iPhone3,1</txt-record>
    </service>
</service-group>

You can change iPhone3,1 to any Mac identifier to change the icon. For example MacBook1,1 is a white MacBook or MacBookPro5,2 is an aluminum MBP.

Bonus info: To correctly display and have WP-Syntax highlight XML code, use

<pre lang="xml" escaped="true">
