and I mean it
Ok, it’s a nice phone, but will all those Mac fans please stop panting in my ear? 4GB hard disk, Wifi, video player? I already have those in my phone. The Jonathan Ive touch? Yes, will probably make a difference. We’ll see that when the phone becomes available over here, by the end of 2007. In the mean time, pour some cold water on that boner, will you?
Wordpress has a really nifty system for adding functionality: the WP plugins. There are a ton of them around, but if you have some knowledge of SQL and PHP you can make your own plugins! You of course have to know how to display stuff, how to add a configuration panel to the Options or Manage tab, … When I read the code of some well-developed plugins, I thought: it should be easy to come up with a Wordpress plugin template generator. So that’s what I did: here’s the first (far from complete) version of the Wordpress Plugin Generator!
Currently it supports the following features:
<!--myplugin_tag--> by a certain text/htmlmyplugin_showhtml() function (e.g. in sidebar.php)wp-content/plugins/myplugin/myplugin.php page is called (e.g. for results in XML or TXT format)I of course try to use the guidelines published by Wordpress and Installer. I’ll write something about that later.
I have an ambiguous relationship with my Nokia N91. When I received it for testing, it seemed to be all a mobile tech-savvy user could wish for. But time and time again, something happened that pissed me off: battery life, application crashes, losing data, and 2 months ago: refusing to boot. I got fed up with giving it a second chance, and a third …, and threw it in a drawer. In girl-terms, the phone was a Naomi Campbell: really pretty, but independable on the verge of bipolar. She might work, she might not. Impeccable behaviour or a slap in the face, no way to predict.
Then I bought myself a medium priced SonyEricsson V600 and was not really satisfied with it. Everything about it felt wrong. For some reason, I like the Nokia user interface much better, or even the Samsung one. The V600 buttons felt toy-like, not sturdy. Its USB interface did not have a full or mini USB connector, but something proprietary. In short, it might be an OK phone, but not for me. In girl terms: more like a Britney Spears. Predictably boring and styleless.

Since I’ve been doing quite a lot of Wordpress blog upgrading recently, I’ve been diving into its plugins a lot. There are lots of them around and I have grown a liking to some of them.
Here’s a list of plugins that I’ve found to be essential to any of my WP installations:
And some nice to have’s:
Lots of people have been taking pictures on New Year and this clearly shows in the stats of incoming pictures at two major photo hosting sites: Flickr and Smugmug.
Flickr reached a peak of nearly 100.000 pictures/hour (97.1 k#/h) and Smugmug a quarter of that (22.7 k#/h). That is 50% to 100% more than regular days.
(about 60 of those are mine)
