  1. Around the web

    blackrimglasses – Spousal Approval Factor High – a new entertainment unit – I’m doing similar stuff, on a much smaller scale. Houses are baby death traps. Why no one should use the Iron Chromium fork Thoughty’s Blog – Interesting – I hadn’t realized Chromium didn’t have the same data harvesting. Seems to be supported here:…

  2. Child Theme Support for Carrington CMS Theme Framework →

    Child theme support has landed in SVN for Carrington. The way it is implemented allows child themes to add templates to the parent theme (adding more supported conditions for post types, comments, categories, etc.), not just replace existing templates. If you are building themes on Carrington, check this out and provide feedback before it’s tagged and released.

    This post is part of the project: Carrington Core. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

  3. Twitter Tools 2.1

    Version 2.1 of my Twitter Tools plugin is now available. Twitter Tools creates a two-way integration between your Twitter account and your WordPress blog. You can send your blog posts to Twitter and bring your tweets back to your blog for display, archiving, or creating posts from them. This version has a bunch of changes…

  4. 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…

  5. WordPress Security, Upgrades and Backups

    I often get questions about WordPress security and how best to manage WordPress upgrades. These issues are closely related, and I’ve thought about them a good deal over the years (and I’ve been doing this long enough to have experimented with a variety of approaches). These are the approaches I am currently using and recommend…

  6. Nexus One Reaction

    As a self-admitted mobile junkie, I was interested in today’s Android announcement (best followed here) even though we knew all the details in advance. I want to get a good (read: fast) Android device so that I can really try it out. The only current options are the Droid and the Nexus One (N1). The…

  7. Twitter Tools and WordPress 2.9 – Working or Not?

    A bunch of folks in the WordPress support forums appear to be having trouble with Twitter Tools with WordPress 2.9. It works as expected in my testing, the WordPress HelpCenter hasn’t been able to reproduce this either, and the works/broken voting on the plugin page is fairly evenly split. I’d love to gather some explicit…

  8. 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…

  9. Around the web

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – “My work at Crowd Favorite has been very rewarding. It is also has been nice knowing the stability in both of our jobs.” Keep up the good work Sean! Touchpad – Remotely control your Mac. – This is a very clever idea. Google Nexus One docs get leaked:…

  10. 2009 in Review

    Welcome to my fifth annual year in review post. Last year I wrote this as an intro to my annual retrospective: This year, unlike previous years, my blog is less of a good record of the past 365 days. It’s a combination of being a lot busier due to the growth at Crowd Favorite, and…
