Update:Now a few days later, Thesis has been GPL’d and there isn’t much left to say on this topic. However, for the sake of clarity, I would like to revisit a statement I made below: if Thesis contained *no* original WordPress code, considering that it is distributed on its own, and not shipped with a copy of WordPress, I am [...]
Here comes S2ajax v1.0! And it was long overdue. Six months already since I posted S2ajax says “hi()” I can hardly believe it. What I think of as v1.0′s main feature is that it is now possible to simply export classes in PHP and these classes can be instantiated in JavaScript. Whenever these instances are modified through asynchronous method calls, [...]
This is a cross-posting with the nextBBS support board. Some of you already know about this but keep reading… Development of nextBBS v2 was steered in a new direction about two months ago and this is for the better. “n2″ is the software’s new code name. And the change is more than skin-deep because it is actually the result of the [...]
Close to two years ago, after quickly putting together my own FLV Player plugin for WordPress (original post) I added it to WordPress.org’s already impressive list of plugins. Who knows? Someone else might find it useful (it’s been downloaded more than 4,500 times since then so I guess that means someone did) Yesterday a few people commented on that original [...]

bespin is really an intriguing project. Since I’ve grown frustrated with the inconsistencies between the various code editors that I have been using — I work on Leopard at home and Ubuntu at work — I thought that creating my own editor would be the answer to that. Nothing fancy, mind you. Just something consistent. My first impulse was to [...]
Was your break as geeky as mine? Come on, admit it: you’ve done at least one incredibly unsexy thing in the last couple weeks. I know I have. Well, in fact, I had to take a four weeks-long break and it shows in the number of silly things I’ve played with. In no particular order: I improved this blog’s look [...]
I love the idea of Switzerland, the new EFF tool for checking ISP throttling; unfortunately as of release Zero.0.5, Leopard seems to still be a mere afterthought. Here is how I worked around the few things that were not working out of the box. First, Switzerland is written in Python and will require Psyco. It’s a good thing since Psyco [...]
Funny, how everybody is gazing at everybody else’s navel in our little world – disclaimer: I do not consider myself a Web2.0 “celebrity”, simply because I’m not – but even so it’s hard to always keep in mind that we are only talking about a very minor percentage of the world population, so busy are we all trumpeting that we [...]
I just posted the text below at http://www.nextbbs.com/do_topic_title_nextBBS-direction–please-give-your-input_id_1288 I know that a lot of open-source projects have gone through the same dilemma: Now that we know what we know, Now that “these” components are available, Now that development on our old framework is slowing down because…it’s old Well, what do we do now? Rip apart our existing software and restart [...]
