Canon S95 Low Light Test Shots

I received my Canon S95 this week and took a couple of shots in really dark lighting conditions. In these shots there are two light sources, an interior light from the left that barely reaches the shooting area and a streetlight from the right, shining in from a window. This one was taken at ISO…

Twitter Tools and WordPress 2.9 Testing Needed

Based on the feedback from my previous post, I think I know what the issue may be between Twitter Tools 2.0 and WordPress 2.9. I have a new version available that may address the issue that some people were having saving posts with Twitter Tools enabled in WordPress 2.9. I believe the cause of this…

Chromium (Mac) Testing

I’m trying out Chromium (Mac) as my primary browser for a while. I’d been holding out for these things: Pukka support – the ability to launch an application from a bookmarklet. FlashBlock support – can’t imagine browsing without it anymore. PwdHash support Accesskey support Three out of four is close enough – I’ll keep composing…

Popularity Contest 2.0 beta 2

A new beta of my Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress is available – this has some minor bug fixes and some new features and nicer handling of some edge cases. Since this version is the best known version, I have made it the default download at WordPress.org’s plugin hosting. Changes since beta 1: Added tag…

New Twitter Tools Features – Testers Requested

I’ve made some changes to my Twitter Tools plugin for WordPress – hopefully that will enable some pretty cool stuff in the future. I get a lot of requests for features/changes that are specific to someone’s needs. Since (unfortunately) I can’t build specific features for each user into the general plugin, I’ve done the next…

Popularity Contest 2.0 beta 1

My Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress has been “broken”1 for more than a year (since the WordPress 2.5 release I believe). Luckily, the great WordPress community found and posted work-arounds and most people had working versions while updating the plugin sat on my to-do list. The main issue with updating it was that I felt…

Popularity Contest 1.3b3

This version of Popularity Contest fixes a single small bug. I’ve got a good set of features to add to this plugin in the future when I get some roundtuit, but for now I wanted to at least get this fix out for those of you on WP 2.3+. Popularity Contest is a WordPress plugin…

Popularity Contest 1.3b2

While Popularity Contest version 1.3b1 was perfectly compatible with WordPress 2.3, it wasn’t compatible with the Google Sitemaps plugin. This version should be compatible with both. Thanks to Arne for his help identifying the compatibility issue between the two plugins. I need to do a bit more to fix this more properly before it is…

Popularity Contest 1.3b1

I’ve released a beta version of Popularity Contest – my WordPress plugin that helps you find out which of your posts are most popular. This version should be WordPress 2.3 compatible1, but I need help testing it. Popularity Contest was already largely compatible with WordPress 2.3, but the category reports on the reports page did…

Making Alex King’s Popularity Contest cache-compatible →

Hey, guys. I’d love to help to “encourage”? Alex King to update his Popularity Contest plug-in for WordPress to be WP-Cache2/APC compatible. When I was out in Denver last month, Alex said he had plans to do it, and that he had already given some serious thought to how it would be architected.

To help encourage the re-write, I’m going to donate money to Alex in the name of making Popularity Contest cache-compatible. If enough people donate, it may help to put the project at the top of his every-growing list of things to do.

I can absolutely be bribed. 😉

Seriously, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a couple of years now – hopefully I can find some time to make it happen soon.

The Latest Delay…

My customers are getting restless waiting for the new releases of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks – I don’t blame them, it’s months past the my original planned release date. The good news is that things are very close now. I gave up on my work data recovery last week and I’m pretty much done re-doing…

Testing Kontera “In-Text” Ads

I’m trying out Kontera In-Text Ads here on the site. These work by attaching ad links (in green) with little hover-overs to words on the page. Try them out, see what you think. I can tweak some settings, so feedback is welcome. I plan to leave this active for a month or so as a…

I released a new version of my Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress to fix some bugs in the 1.2 release. Many thanks to those that opened threads for these bugs in the WordPress Support forums and pointed me to them. The updated download is available on my WordPress Plugins page. If you have any trouble…
