So Pluto is no longer a “proper” planet for a while now. And what does NASA do about it? Well, apparently they’re sending a space probe to consolate the poor thing — aaahhh!

If you’re using SquirrelMail then you are probably a bit fed up with the plain look-and-feel of the product. I’m not against it, it’s just that it DOES look kind of amateurish, unfortunatelly 
While there is currently work in progress to make it more customizable and skinnable and so on in a future release, most of us are stuck with the standard (read “poor” 
) look-and-feel for now. There are of course plugins that help a bit with that — not that much unfortunatelly, but if you use your JavaScript skills on top of some you get some wicked results.
So I’ve started looking at these plugins and how one can add JavaScript on top of it to make SquirrelMail more appealing to the eye.
Since I’ve only just started experimenting with this, I thought I’d start with the Login Page. And I figured out a way of how to make the login page look better. You can read more about it on my main site, by following this link.
Happy squirrelling!

Have you seen this “live” Solar system simulator? Check out http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar — really cool!
And don’t try to keep refreshing it to see how the planets move The scale of the simulation is small enough so you can just about see a diferrence from day to day. You can try playing with the dates and increase/decrease by a month though Even so, not too much movement from Pluto as you would expect — lazy git! lol

So I finally got around to providing a fix for the Autocomplete plugin for SquirrelMail to work in Firefox (for those of you who didn’t realise, the plugin was only working with Internet Explorer before). Hopefully the fix will make it in the next release of the plugin, but for those of you who are unpatient and can’t wait, you can read the instructions on how to apply the patch on my site following this link. The instructions on how to patch your existing version of Squirrel Mail Autocomplete are pretty straightforward and also the whole file is available for download, saving you to mess about with the source.
And if you’re a SquirrelMail fan, you might also want to check the article about how to customize SquirrelMail login page.
