I ran into an interesting “bug” in Twitter Tools last night that I traced back to http_build_query(). I expected that the query strings generated by this function used & as a separator for the key=value pairs, but on one of our test servers, the separator being used was &. This is a php.ini config setting,…

I’ve packaged beta 2 of the next generation version of Twitter Tools. Version 3.0 is a ground-up rewrite on top of the Social platform, with a few features included for backward compatibility. If you’d like to test the beta, grab it from GitHub. This version fixes several bugs that were found in our QA process,…
We are no longer developing or supporting Popularity Contest, and I recommend letting it rest peacefully. alexking.org/?p=8264
I wrote the Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress back in May of 2005. It had a good run, but that run is over. We are no longer developing or supporting Popularity Contest, and I recommend letting it rest peacefully. Why? It does too much, and too little at the same time. It does too much.…
If you’re doing serious development for WordPress you will quickly find yourself in a situation where you need to test a plugin in multiple installations. Using symlinks is a great way to make sure that you don’t end up editing in multiple locations, perhaps forgetting to commit a change, etc. However, there are some headaches…
Twitter Tools 3.0 beta 1 is available for testing and feedback. alexking.org/?p=8173
I’ve been working for a while on a version of Twitter Tools that extends Social. Version 3.0 is a ground-up rewrite, with a few features included for backward compatibility. If you’d like to test the beta, grab it from GitHub. Note that this is lightly tested and there is absolutely no information in the README…
My upgrade to WordPress 3.3 was a simple svn switch command – everything just worked. The level of polish in the admin has really been stepped up in the last few releases. Hats off to all the folks doing great work there. I’m probably most pleased that my media size patch was accepted; I think…
Put quite simply, there is no way to move a complicated project and its associated event media from one machine to another. The fragility of the media storage system in FCPx is shameful – it’s like the product was never tested in the real world.
I’m glad I can stick with iMovie for my needs.
We have been working hard on a new version of the MailChimp’s Social plugin for WordPress. We have packaged a beta version for public testing (2.0b3, currently running on this site). Download from GitHub We are hoping for a general release of version 2.0 on Monday, so please report any issues you find in the…

My company, Crowd Favorite, is hiring a technical project manager / web producer to join our team in our Denver office. If you love working with the latest and greatest web technology (we specialize in building Big Things with WordPress and Open Source) and want to join a top-notch team with world-class clients and projects,…
Looks like some great new stuff in here – I see digesting, prototyping and testing in my future.
While our post formats admin UI is getting a nice warm reception (100+ tweets, pings and comments, wow!), there is a concern that has popped up a few times – one that I included a nod towards in my original post. What happens when publishers put important data in the post format custom fields, then…
With our latest and biggest RedMonk Analytics feature drop to date, we are now able incorporate data from any source…
Congratulations to Steve and the RedMonk crew. As usual, they have been on the forefront of industry trends.
Well illustrated. (thanks Dougal)
I was curious about this. I’ve always used WiFi, but I’m trying Bluetooth as a test.
This is when I discovered that growing rapidly teaches you one thing well: how communication continually finds new and interesting ways to break down.
If you aren’t subscribed to Rands in Repose, shame on you.
Over the last 6 months we have had a few clients want to delay upgrading to the latest version of WordPress. They didn’t see any urgency to upgrade because there were no immediate security concerns addressed in the update that affected their site. I can certainly understand this thinking. When upgrading you need to spend…
Me: How many Kindles can I reasonably own when I just like the idea of using them but don’t actually use them? Dave: I’m not great at math, but knowing you and hearing that question, I’d say 4. I only need so many test devices for Delivereads, but they are cheap and new and shiny!
Crowd Favorite is hiring! We’re looking to add a designer with good HTML and CSS chops to join our front-end team in our Denver, CO office. I’m certainly biased, but I think this is a pretty great position. You will get to: work with latest web standards work on high-profile websites conceptualize and create new…
The difference in speed between an ID and a class is almost totally irrelevant.
A test selecting on a type (<a>), rather than a class or ID, gave a much slower reflow.
There are a few things I didn’t know here.
Developers, take note. Time to start testing your code for WordPress 3.3 compatibility.
If you’re using Moderinzr to detect browser support for touch events, be aware that non-touch BlackBerry devices claim to support touch events. As you might expect, the touch events are pretty much impossible to trigger on a non-touch device. I worked around this by making the check for touch vs. non-touch browsers also test for…
Drumming up support for my latest #WordPress core patch. Would love to see this make it into 3.3. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18520
