That would be the Cr-48 ChromeOS laptop that arrived unannounced at my door this week.
Haven’t had much chance to delve into it, yet, but at the moment it’s looking like a good computer for:

You may recall my ancient post about customizing your custom post type permalinks. When I wrote that, I was still stumbling somewhat blindly through WordPress’s rewrite API. After hacking a little more with it, I think I finally understand what I’m doing enough to write a little more confidently. Continue reading
Need to send an Ajax request to a Solr server that’s on a different domain? You will, of course, need to use JSONP instead of an ordinary JSON request, due to JavaScript’s cross-domain security restrictions. To get a properly padded response from Solr, add the json.wrf parameter to your query string, giving it the name of your callback function. In jQuery:
jQuery.ajax({ url: mySolrUrl, data: myQueryParameters, success: mySuccessCallback, dataType: 'jsonp', jsonp: 'json.wrf' });
Of course, for this to work the Solr server you’re accessing needs to be publicly accessible, which probably isn’t ideal for security.
WordPress lets you create excerpts for Posts, but not for Pages. Generally, that makes good sense. If you need excerpts for pages, though, it’s pretty simple to add.
function my_init() { add_post_type_support('page', array('excerpt')); } add_action('init', 'my_init');
That’s all there is to it. Works with WordPress 3.0+.
Update 2010-10-01: Hey, look, I made it into a plugin.
As of version 6.14, Drupal works with PHP 5.3, but many essential modules still issue warnings (usually due to passing expressions by reference). If your Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) server is running 5.3, this script will automate the downgrade to the latest 5.2 by telling aptitude to use the source lists for Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Thanks to Nick Veenhof, mrkandy, and their many commenters, from whom this script is derived.

Of course, make sure to restart Apache when you’re finished.
