  • 2.25.08 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin posted in Web Design, Geekery

    Michael Erlewine has improved on the Wordpress Related Posts Plugin with Yet Another Related Posts Plugin. An improvement to the full-text search that allows limiting by a relevance threshold allows the most relevant posts to show up at the top of the list, so if you only display 5 results, they’re more likely to be of interest. It also allows control over retrieving both posts and pages. And for those less code-oriented, it can function without modification to your theme and has an improved options screen. Wordpress users should check it out!

  • 2.2.08 Giving Flock some love posted in Geekery

    Okay, it’s time for a little more in depth post on why I’m loving Flock. The easy part of that answer is that it uses the Mozilla rendering engine while adding some very useful (to me) functionality (Twitter sidebar, blog tools, media stream…) and provides compatibility with most Firefox plugins. The more complex answer is that with a little effort, Flock can be customized to do way more than advertised…

  • 12.12.07 A Few Quick Finds posted in Design, Geekery

    The “market” for Quick Look plugins is heating up, and there are some really handy additions coming out. These are not hot off the press, I held on to them for a little too long, but they bear mentioning nonetheless…

  • 11.28.07 Archive Previews in Together posted in Geekery

    I just had to take a moment to mention that the zip Quick Look plugin works inside of Together. The plugin (the .mac download is crashed and I couldn’t find a mirror, sorry) lets you peek inside zip files using Quick Look. Inside of Together, that gives you an instant preview of the contents of archived files within your library or project. Absolutely awesome.

  • 11.24.07 Project Status Report: November 2007 posted in Geekery

    I have way too many irons in the fire right now. I thought I’d offer a quick status report on various projects so that those of you who are waiting for particular updates have an idea what’s happening…

  • 11.13.07 WikityWidget: Easiest Wiki Ever posted in Geekery

    I discovered it quite by accident. I was scrolling through Quicksilver plugins and found one for WicketyWidget. WTF? I followed a link and found what appeared to be an outdated page for a Tiger only widget. I took a chance and installed it anyway. In combination with Quicksilver, I’m absolutely loving it…

  • 11.7.07 Safari (my new crush) posted in Web Design, Geekery

    Besides being enamored with all things Leopard, I’ve developed an intense and burning love for Safari. With a couple of exceptional plugins, it’s become my general web browser of choice. The powerhouse that is Firefox+addons may still be hard to leave behind for webdev, but for beauty, ease of use and overall integration (and awesome applescripting), Safari is definitely my new top choice…

  • 8.6.07 UTW-rpc 1.5 released posted in Geekery

    Bout freakin’ time. Adds Simple Tagging support, new xmlrpc methods, slug support and more. There’s a fix for TextMate users who broke with WP 2.2.1. When they get the date deal sorted out, I’ll update the plugin. Latest version on the Autotag/UTW-rpc page. There’s a new version of Autotag in testing right now, so TextMate users, patience, please…

  • 6.18.07 Upgraded posted in Website Updates

    Well, I’ve been designing all of my new Wordpress sites with version 2.2, but just now finally got around to upgrading the blog. It seemed like a fairly painless experience with just a couple of plugin related glitches. I did it through Subversion so I’ll revert if anything goes terribly wrong. If you notice anything amiss on the blog, please let me know! In the meantime I’ve picked up work again on the Wordpress Theme Bundle for TextMate and will be releasing an updated version with a whole bunch of new, more advanced tags and options. I’m also almost through the testing phase for UTW-rpc and have a new AutoTag bundle to go with it. Still open to Beta Testers on that one, if you want in, let me know.

  • 6.15.07 WPZipper posted in Web Design

    Just a quick note about a new site: wpzipper.com. It allows you to put together a pre-configured Wordpress install with your choice of plugins and themes and prepares it for installation. Registering for a free account lets you save configurations for repeat usage. Pretty nifty.
