Robot Zoo

We visited the Robot Zoo exhibit at the Kanyon mall in Istanbul last week. Our kids really enjoyed it.


Featuring large interactive robotics, the exhibit explained how the creatures worked. You could make the chameleon change color, move its head and body and stuck out its tongue.



Other creatures included a giraffe, rhino, bat, platypus, fly and squid.

My first search plugin

Have you ever had issue with a forum that will only allow searching for keywords longer than 3 characters. One forum I frequent often is www.pbxinaflash.com/forum. This is a great forum but the problem is the search functionality of the forum only allows for anything over 3 characters.
This is a problem when searching for things like "SIP, IAX, FAX, XEN" etc.

So I created my first open search plugin. Open search plugins are small XML files that add a search enginge to your Firefox or IE search box.

Here's how I did it.

• in Firefox I installed this plugin Add to Search Bar :: Firefox Add-ons
  
• then used Google advanced search to search the forum
• and saved this as a search
• I used this search myself for a month or so and then thought I would share it with others

New design

The MuzGadgets blog is nearly 3 years old and has been overdue for a design change. For the new look I have used the new Blogger Template Designer gadget.
