Things I’ve learned this winter: If it’s going to snow for most of the day, it’s better to shovel at least once while it’s snowing than to wait until it’s finished. It’s much easier to move the stuff around before it packs. It takes as long to scrape out the tire tracks where someone has…

This includes a number of minor changes since the last release: New method of including Prototype for WP 2.0.x users (can be used by other plugins as well) to avoid including Prototype twice, if possible.
