I'm obsessed with bluetooth. So much so that I've been hunting for heaven's own pair of bluetooth headphones for my Tokyo subway commutes. I'm already on my 5th pair (thank God for Yahoo Auctions), so here's a summary of my bluetooth headphone adventures so far:

I hate spam. I detest it. And I'm not talking about the scrumptious processed meat product. I think you all know the spam I'm referring to—the kind peddling cheap viagra, phony rolexes, and desperate but gorgeous Russian girls pining for your love.
Most people I know pack up and leave an email address after it starts getting loads of spam, but being a dedicated IT nerd I didn't want to throw in the towel that easily. I made it my life's mission to stop all spam from getting into my inbox. Well, maybe not my life's mission, but my primary home IT project for the next few months or so. This was my mission, and this is my story. Maybe you'll see this in theaters next summer.

For some reason Joomla 2.5 lost the ability to show nice horizontal menus in the footer; instead the items appear vertically. I personally used this in Joomla 1.5 to show the privacy policy, terms of use, etc. links at the very bottom of every page. After a little research I found how to accomplish a horizontal footer menu in Joomla 2.5.
1. Add this somewhere at the bottom of your template.css file:
ul.menuflat li
{
display: inline;
padding: 10px;
}
2. Next, edit the module that displays your footer menu. You'll see a box called "menu suffix." Enter "flat" (without quotes) in there and save the module. Your menu should now appear horizontal.

The Joomla extension Stalker is awesome, but oddly enough it doesn't have iTunes as one of the default available networks. If you're using the component, you can add it manually, but Stalker will change the iTunes-specific "iTunes" to "http." If you're using the Stalker for JomSocial plugin, then you have to add it manually.
Stalker for JomSocial
* Edit /plg_stalker_js/languages & change an unused network to iTunes
* Edit /plg_stalker_js/stalker/helper.php & change an unused network to iTunes
Oddly enough adding lines for iTunes did not work.
Stalker Component
I went into the database via PHPMyAdmin and changed "http" to "iTunes." Don't edit this in the Joomla backend because it will change it back to http. If you do you'll have to go back into PHPMyAdmin and change it back.
