  2. New Plugin Releases on Wordpress Extend

    Add RSS Detectionadd-rss.jpg

    I’ve uploaded Add RSS to Wordpress Extend and updated it to version 1.5.

    Description: Add RSS Feeds to your template header for Firefox and other browsers to detect automatically. Plugin facilitates adding your comments feed, per-post comment feed and allows for custom RSS feeds to be added. Feeds are not excluded to local RSS feeds of your site. Forexample you can add your Twitter or Pownce feed just as easily as adding a comments feed.

    It’s a very basic plugin but I’m going to bet a lot of people would benefiting from it’s ease of use, especially the option to add per post feeds. And it works with any wordpress theme which is a plus.

    AJAX CSS Switcherajax-css-switcher.png

    I’ve also added CSS AJAX CSS Switcher (I’ve changed the name) to the repository and I’ve updated it to version 1.5. Hopefully this release will help the ailments of the last version which had problems with the version of prototype in wp-includes.

    Description: This Wordpress Plugin allows you to add CSS switching to your theme without any reload. It also stores the users selection for future visits. This plugin uses UDASS The Unobtrusive Degradable Ajax Style Sheet Switcher.

    “The Unobtrusive Degradable Ajax Style Sheet Switcher combines the power of Server Side processing and DOM scripting to swap style sheets on the fly with the power of Ajax. If JavaScript? is disabled – UDASSS degrades gracefully to improve your website accessibility. Needless to say, it is very sexy indeed.”

  3. Add RSS

    After the comment on how I added additional RSS feeds for browser detection I went ahead and made the least necessary plugin I’ve ever released. Maybe Movable Anything is unnecessary for more users but this plugin might take the person longer to download and install than just modifying their header file in their template, even though it has an options panel.

    For those who do not want to edit their header template I scraped this plugin together in 30 minutes. Add RSS is:

    Add RSS Feeds to your template header for Firefox and other browsers to detect your additional RSS feeds. Feeds are not excluded to local RSS to your site. For example you can add your Twitter or Pownce feed just as easily as adding your comments feed.

    Updated version just uploaded, 3pm PST.

  4. GTD with Google Notebook

    All we need is better integration for GMail and Notebook like adding e-mail functionality to your Notebook and my personal GTD process will be complete through the help of this article. An online notebook is something I really lack, even though I’ve tried many times with basecamp and the old Notebook; my current process of sorting bookmarks in my toolbar with no notes is easy but not effeciant. Especially since I do not have any archiving for past reference.

    Maybe I’ll just try again and instead use the firefox extension to add emails to Notebook. I’ll still hav ethe problem of personal vs. work though.

    The controversial Google “Tips”, where Google promoted certain of their own products over organic search results, have been quietly pulled down.

    Until recently, Google searches for Calendar, Blogging, Photo Sharing and others returned “tips” above normal search results suggesting users try Google Calendar, Blogger and Picasa, respectively. Firefox co-founder Blake Ross criticized the change in a widely … Read More »

  9. Tor and uTorrent

    In case you’re wondering I have taken some measures to make my torrent experience a little safer/anonymous. In the process of trying tor for OS X I ran into some problems, it’s damn easy to setup for firefox but not so easy for Azureus–being the only OS X bittorrent app that allows proxy. Hopefully Picture 3.png
    XTorrent will add the functionality soon. But with Azureus not working so great, I just really dont like the UI and the plugins aren’t too easy to mange either I gave up and knew I had to do something else. I had mentioned to Jared I would just setup Tor on Linux and run it as a VM through Parallels but instead I went with uTorrent on Windows and I’m surprised at how much I prefer uTorrent right now. Even in a VM it’s working great. Tor is noticeably slower but it works and I’m not in too big of a rush anymore.

    The times I am in a rush it’s to get TV shows downloaded for a morning re-encode for my iPod I use Xtorrent. Reason I’m in a rush, Meredith and I watch TV shows for lunch at work and it’s nice to see those shows the day after rather then postpone them a few days.
