Two men are walking on London Bridge.

One of them says: “I’ve got a gift of persuasion and I can make any person jump from this bridge”.
So they had a bet. Then they saw a German walking towards them.

And the first man told this German guy: You know, your firm got madebankrupt. The German guy screamed: “Oh no! I’ve been working for this firm half of my life! And now i’ll have no money to pay for my car, my house and many other things I bought in credit!”

So he jumped from the bridge.

Next the two friends saw an Englishman.

The persuasive guy approached him and said: “Do you know that your wife cheats on you?”
“Oh no!” - said the Englishman - “What a disgrace! I have such a noble family and now all the neighbourhood will discuss my wife being unfaithful to me!”

So he jumped too.

Next they saw a Russian guy.

“It’s gonna be not that simple” - said the persuasive one.
“Do you know” - he said to the Russian - “that it’s strongly prohibited to jump from this bridge?”

“Fuck you!” - the Russian screamed, jumping down - “I do what I want!”

Small-time crook from Kazan, Russia wanted me to launder some money for him - but he was good to be wound-up:

I had an idea for a neat time-saving product which could easily run as a service for Windows.

It would be a predictive text tool with functionality much like a Nokia mobile phone SMS input or IntelliSense in Visual Studio.NET. Word 2003 already has this for certain well-known phrases but I don’t imagine it being too hard to implement for other, more general applications.

It could sit in resident memory and store the most popular 1000+ words in memory, ready to assist with typing. It’s simple.

I’ve Googled the idea but found nothing similar as yet. Maybe someone will see the light!

Get the 0.7 release of the plugin: Flickr plugin for WordPress

Create your ‘flickr-cache’ directory under the wp-content folder and make sure it is writeable by the web server; either CHMOD 777 or IIS IUSR_account_name read/write access.

Make the changes mentioned here.

I’m using:
flickr_show_photos($_GET['album'], $_GET['photo'], $_GET['page']);
in my code (gallery.php).

N.B. Organise your Flickr photos into at least one Photoset.

Or it wil throw the

Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

error.

Clear the cache file.

Activate the plugin.
