Project Diary: Xtools (6)
Resolved all outstanding bugs from v0.10.0 (frankly, I’m embarressed to discover how many critical bugs there were in this release… but they’re all fixed now.) and began working on implementing the new parser. The next one will be a alternate route selection parser. NARS/BARS/CDP etc.
All my programming time has diminished my attentiveness to building the [...]
Wordpress features
Hongkiat.com posted 30 (more) “most wanted” features for Wordpress. Some of them look like they’re already planned for Release 2.7 (upcoming) and others look interesting.
I’m especially interested in:
Breadcrumb navigation which is a cool way to place breadcrumb style navigation on your blog. I like the idea of having a navigation bar that shows you the tree-branch [...]

Project Diary: Xtools (4)
Put up a BugTracker. I’ll be importing the ASPECT projects that I’ve been working on over the years soon, so that if any users want to report bugs for those projects, they can.
Primarily though, this BugTracker is used to track the features/projects/ideas for my Xtools project. I figured that while a diary is great, tracking [...]

Began writing file upload code, reading up on how files get uploaded via PHP and how to protect the server when permitting file uploads. I’m currently thinking that I’ll upload to a [...]
Idea: Wordpress Plugin Auto Revision Purge
The idea is to write a plugin that can be configured to automatically purge revisions older than a specific value. Allow authors/editors to mark certain posts using meta content that are excempt from the auto-purge of revision data.

My Desktop & Wordpress
A couple of posts back, I talked about possibly putting a Wordpress blog on my (work) desktop for work notes. One of the problems that I’ve been having with the work implementation of Wordpress is that I cannot manage files (or upload them) to the wordpress installation, and the spell check function in the wordpress [...]
Web Design Blogs
As I am working more and more on my blog, I find myself searching for useful tutorials and information on both design, code and CMS management topics. I found that SmashingMagazine.com has a wonderful list of 100 Wordpress themes, which all appear to be free. (Although, I’ve not validating that they’re all compatible with the [...]
