Ever wanted to change http://site/item/1234 into e.g. http://site/nieuws/1234?

The hack presented in this article explains how to change the item, archive, archives, blog and member keywords that are used in fancy URL mode. Being able to change this could be useful for people running a non-english Nucleus website.

Ever since I completed college a couple of years ago, I've started reading more and more computer books. The first ones were gifts by Nucleus donators, but later on I also started buying my own. I've found these books to be a great way to learn about new areas of programming. They also greatly improved my passive knowledge.

In this article, I've compiled a list of highlights in my current, past and future reading.

I've been experimenting with Wink today. Wink is a freeware screen capture tool which allows to create Flash presentations. Capturing can be done manually (hitting a shortcut key whenever a frame needs to be captured), time based (x frames/sec) or input driven (mouse/keyboard). After capturing, notes and previous/next buttons can be easily added to the presentation.

As a test, I created a tutorial on how to install Nucleus CMS. It isn't quite a polished presentation and probably runs too quickly (I've might have cut out too much frames), but it shows what Wink is capable of. The flash file is 666 KB.
