iTunes & Ehcache - You figure it out

by Vinny Carpenter on April 5, 2008

Thanks to Greg Luck, I discovered something new in iTunes called My iTunes that lets you export your purchases out as RSS or as a widget to display on your website. Check out a sample of my purchases below - With DRM free music from Amazon, I'm not buying anything from iTunes that's available on Amazon. By the way, Greg Luck is one of the lead developers of Ehcache, which IMHO is the best and most widely used Java distributed caching framework.

New Theme for this blog: NigaRila

by Vinny Carpenter on December 10, 2006

A lot of you read this blog using an RSS reader and so you probably don't see the theme that adorns this blog but I just switched the theme that powers this blog to the NigaRila theme by Sadish Bala. I have been looking for a great 3-column theme and Sadish has created one of the best looking and usable theme out there.

NigaRila is an awesome theme for WordPress 2.0 that has 3 columns on the Front Page with a fixed width of 900 pixel and 2 columns on all other pages. This theme has two sidebars on the right side. If you have the sidebar widgets plugin installed, then you can use it for both of them. NigaRila is an awesome theme that produces valid XHTML and offers a great deal of functionality. I've made a couple of modifications to add support for a few other plugins but most of the functionality you see on my blog is out of the box including the archive and contact page. Sadish wants $15.00 for this theme and I think its well worth the cost.

In addition to NigaRila, Sadish just recently created a new WordPress theme called Intense after learning about my wife's first cousins son Gavin Winslow. Sadish was moved by Gavin's story and decided to help by adding a link from his theme to Gavin's site at www.savebabygavin.com. This has resulted in Gavin's site getting thousands of visits from people that normally wouldn't know about Gavin. Thank you Sadish for helping raise awareness about Gavin’s story and bringing additional visibility to his site and creating a great WordPress theme in the process.
