for those who are irritated by google’s new search results page having the column on left – use this URL to bypass google’s new search result page and have the results displayed the older way (no column on left-hand-side):

upgraded wordpress to v2.9.2
- no visible difference in the dashboard so far.. except for the ‘upgrade-to-new-ver.’ tag is gone..
edited and published the wordpress theme for onizu (v1.1)
Changed ONIZU.com into a blogging system. This should help in updating ONIZU much faster.
Upgraded ONIZU Wordpress to version 2.7 last night.
Since the blog directory was also moved, the upgrade took a while.
Notes:
- A quick way to back-up posts+comments is to ‘export’ from the wp control panel.
- Input fields in the control panel of v2.7 show text as mojibake in Firefox (winxp). Even when you try to type new. Accessing the wp control panel in Google-Chrome helped.
- On moving the blog dir, permalinks get affected. Hence the external links can be dead.
Add in ~/.emacs :
(setq default-frame-alist '((font . "-font-name-from-xfontsel")))
