By default, WordPress allows a user with the “upload_files” capability to view all items in the media library. Here’s how to remove the Media Library tab in the WordPress media uploader completely (e.g. for contributors without the “edit_others_posts” capability). Copy and paste the following code into a plugin or the theme functions.php file: function remove_medialibrary_tab($tabs) [...]
I survived my first solo road trip this past weekend. Hurtling down I-5 in my new red Mini Cooper at 100-120 mph was a bit of a rush for possibly as long as 30 minutes, then I got bored by the lack of turns. The trip to and from LA took about 5.5 hours down [...]
Man fetus… WTF?!!!!!!! http://www.cracked.com/article_18470_the-7-most-horrifying-things-ever-discovered-in-human-body.html
I’m pissed off at Apple right now as I’m getting periodic Snow Leopard lockups (like everyone else) and it’s really impeding my work efficiency: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141492 And that’s just one thread. So what’s the fix? There doesn’t seem to be one right now. ARGH! Why did I have to pay $10 plus tax for this crap [...]
I was browsing Flickr the other day and found this photo commemorating the first time I held a Leica (D)SLR in my hands! It’s the Leica M8 digital body with a NOCTILUX f1.0! Photo by Mark Jaquith. (He has a Nikon.) But sadly it is not mine. (It belongs to PhotoMatt.) Although I would gladly [...]
I’ve always been interested in photography but up until recently had been discouraged by all of my photos invariably turning out really boring and crappy. Recently, my friend (BayAnime‘s official staff photographer) let me borrow his old manual lens, a Super Takumar 50mm/f1.4 adapted for the Canon EOS mount, and I have since realized that [...]
The (really crappy) stock Apple power adapter for my old Powerbook G4 finally died. I had already been employing the constant twisting/fiddling method for a couple of months before it failed entirely. There was no way I was going to shell out $79 for another Apple power adapter and I also figured that given the [...]
I’ve been a heavy user of GrandCentral‘s phone/voicemail service since some time before they were acquired by Google. I found it especially handy for allowing me to have a San Francisco area code (415) phone number that forwards calls right to my original Hawaii cell phone number, which is pretty much the only phone I [...]
I’m slowly working my way through rewatching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (series 1) and I just had to say, the Tachikoma are probably the best non-human/oid characters in anime, ever! They are kind of shaped like toilets, but that’s okay… I still want one. Other favorites: – Totoro – Domo-kun – Afroken [...]
Horrible story… check. Embarrassing, lame dialogue… check. Annoying actors and actresses coupled with really bad acting… check. This was all expected. Look, I don’t go to a movie based on a video game and expect great things. But I do go to a movie titled “STREET FIGHTER” expecting to be ENTERTAINED and to see some [...]
