This portfolio doesn’t look like a blog but was done entirely in WordPress, not even using the new features from the upcoming 1.3.

I just found out the WordPress ebuild for Gentoo was grabbing the files off of Sourceforge instead of the standard download method that lets me collect cool stats. Installing WordPress on Gentoo is just a matter of typing “emerge wordpress” and those people weren’t being counted before. Currently the zip version is downloaded about two and a half times more than the tar.

Slim Server is “powerful and free Open Source software. Not only will it power Squeezebox, but it also serves the SLIMP3 network music player or any software MP3 player on your network. SlimServer runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD and Solaris.” I’m going to set up the software a little later, and the Squeezebox looks pretty sweet too. Something for the wishlist. Might be the answer to my multi-room audio problems.

Serendipity takes a moment out of the day for a philisophic interlude from “providers of fine online gambling services.” Ha!

Things I need to blog before I forget: (1) Cocoa gui for SSH tunnelling — profiles, status menu (2) Mac OS X port of myTunes redux (3) Replication plugin for WordPress — plugin file captures _POST/_COOKIE headers and replicates to an array of other installations, allows WP to be massively redudant and scalable with only commodity shared hosting.

Michel points out that WordPress is now a one-click install on one of France’s largest ISPs.

Yahoo Media RSS model, doesn’t look final yet. This would be an excellent oppurtunity to get some accesibility-related things into a module that will likely be widely adopted. I’ll have to join the discussion group.

WordPress 1.2.2 is available with some bug and security fixes. Get it while it’s hot!

Research proves what open source folks have been saying all along: “An analysis of the 5.7 million lines of Linux source code shows that it contains fewer bugs per thousand lines of code than commercial counterparts.”

How to build a better web browser, a really great essay highly relevant to several issues at hand.

Absolut Path – not a typo

Atomic Playboy has good results with the Spam Karma plugin.

Security advice from Bruce Schnier:
“If possible, don’t use Microsoft Windows.” There are some other good tips there too, like microwaving CD-Rs and deleting cmd.exe.

Oh no, someone went and did it, a somewhat crude blogging shirt parody site. They’re sparing no one, as evidenced by their Screw Template Tags WordPress spaghetti tank. I have no idea who’s behind this. Note: If you want real WordPress swag, we do have an official store.

Getting the budget out of a client

The Daily Whim asserts that MT Plus Comment Spam Equals Dead Site. Pretty scary stuff.
