  1. WP Grins – Clickable Smilies Hack

    I’ve released WP Grins, a clickable smilies hack for WordPress. This lets you easily add a row of smilies to the post form in the admin area, and/or the comment form on your blog. Like the Quicktags, the smiley inserting is cursor-aware. It inserts the smiley tag where the cursor is as long as your…

  2. Database Cleanup

    I ran a couple of queries to get rid of the (now un-needed) <br /> tags I had in posts and comments from b2. I think it went fine but let me know if you see anything that looks out of place. To clean up your posts table (assuming you are using a ‘wp_’ table…

  3. Windows Laptop w/ DVI Out?

    Anyone know of a Windows laptop that has DVI out? I’d love to be able to run whatever laptop I buy through my desktop monitor (like I do with my PowerBook). Heck, I’d like set up a KVM switch and share the whole set up between both machines. 😎 I’m not planning to buy one…

  4. RAMming Speed

    I got the RAM I threatened to buy a few weeks ago. I hadn’t noticed much difference really, then I noticed I’d had Photoshop open in the background all day… guess an extra 256mb comes in handy. I’ve also been using the CodeTek Virtual Desktop software for the last 36 hours and I’m impressed. I…

  5. JavaScript Array Weirdness

    For some reason, when I try to loop through a JavaScript array that has only one item, I get an error that the array is undefined. If I add another item to the array, no problem. This works: var myArray = new Array(-1, 1); This doesn’t: var myArray = new Array(1); Any idea why? Am…

  6. Tasks Pro 1.0 beta 7: Feature Complete

    Did I say I wasn’t adding any more big features? I couldn’t help myself, I decided to add one more thing. The sponsors have it now – bring on the bug reports. I feel really good about this release. Besides being feature complete, I did a lot of polish and cleanup, and I brought the…

  7. Network Problems – AirPort to Blame?

    In the last 24 hours, my slow but steady DSL connection became a half hour on, 2 hour off roller coaster. Now I can’t connect through the router (AirPort Extreme) at all. I’ve used this same base station in 3 locations, with 4 different ISPs, and never had a problem before. Heck, it worked great…

  8. WordPress CSS Style Switcher Updated

    I fixed a bug in the WordPress CSS Style Switcher: some of the links it generated weren’t “clean permalink” aware in the first release. This is fixed. Also, it should be noted that the instructions are written for WordPress 1.0+ – though the code should work on previous versions, you just have to figure out…

  9. WordPress CSS Style Switcher

    I’ve built a CSS style switcher hack for WordPress, you can grab it from my WordPress Hacks page. I’ve included 3 styles plus the default style in the zip file. If you’d like to contribute a style, I’ll be happy to include it and host it here. To see this in action, take a look…

  10. Vienna Teng on the iTunes Music Store

    Adam just told me that Vienna Teng‘s CD Waking Hour is now available on Apple’s iTunes Music Store (direct link for iTunes users). Waking Hour is a really great album – highly recommended. Congratulations Vienna! If you get a chance to see her perform live, you should really do so.

  11. tasks version 1.8.3 released

    I’ve released tasks version 1.8.3. I didn’t hear a peep from anyone on the last release candidate, so there must not be any bugs – right? 😉 Here are the changes in version 1.8.3: Added a Greek Translation Added a Swedish Translation Now includes PHP iCalendar 1.0 Bug Fix: Doesn’t escape as many HTML entities…
