mu is clipping right along now, and I’m trying to trim it down so I’m not relying on third party APIs. The reason I’m doing this is so I can avoid problems that I had with Plurk Updater. The only requirements mu will have are the cURL and XML-RPC packages for PHP. It’s my hope [...]

This morning I updated my instance of WordPress. It went pretty smooth, other than the slowness it took me to copy the test instance over to my production instance. The new version of WordPress has some pretty handy features, so head over to the official blog post to read about them. I’ve already gotten one [...]

I’ve been working on mu for the past few days and have it running pretty well. It’s been pushing out updates to my social networks on each post I’ve made for the past 3 or 4 days, so I’m convinced that part of it works. Here’s a set of features that mu will have: Publish [...]

I recently created a plugin to send an update to your Plurk account (Plurk Updater). It was at that point that I decided that I really needed a plugin that allowed me to specify on a post-by-post basis if I actually wanted to send the update to either Plurk or Twitter. Thus, mu was born. [...]

There’s been a lot of Chuck Norris facts flying around the Twitterverse this week, so I took it upon myself to create a plugin for those who enjoy the facts of Chuck Norris. The plugin is modeled after the “Hello, Dolly” plugin and works pretty much identical to it. At this time, you have to [...]

The photo gallery software I’m using has a new release, so I decided to update to that. With the new release comes a few new features. Some are pretty cool, but others I haven’t figured out yet. The new features (that work) are: Shutterfly Integration – when viewing a single image, there will be an [...]

I’m still working through minor updates on the photo gallery – at this point it’s mainly just small tweaks. I shouldn’t even be messing with it but there were a few nagging things that bugged me enough to take action. Each photo album now has an image count associated with it, as well as a [...]

I added a photo gallery last night, powered by zenphoto. I’m still working on getting content up there and modifying the software to my needs/wants, but you can check it out. Hit the “Photos” button at the top of the page to get there. More pictures will be added at when I get to them.
