Scott has a picture of the new WordPress Corporate Headquarters on Flickr.

How to REALLY validate emails.

So I’ve made a first pass at a WYSIWYG plugin using widgEditor. For some reason it doesn’t work on the simple post screen, just the advanced one. It’s in the repository if anyone has any suggestions. Todo: prettier/smaller buttons, strip/add paragraph tags, activate for more than just the main content area.

Scott is doing 7 Days of Plugins.

OK/Cancel comic on SxSW 2005, in which my name makes an appearance. OK/Cancel appears to be running on a well-hacked WordPress install, though there’s no link.

de.lirio.us looks pretty cool, except for the hard-to-use domain.

Party was great, thanks to everyone for coming out. The tag for the night is wordpress100k.

Days after Flickr, Snapfish is acquired by HP. Quick, start some more photo sites to sell.

PyMusique lets you purchase music from iTunes on Linux and apparently when the music comes from the server it has no DRM. I just read a News.com story on them and noticed their blog was also on WordPress.

RedHat Blogs, part of their “open source now” initiative, do not run on open source software.

Copy and Paste: the universal API. Please don’t break it!

Podz caught the counter at 100,000 yesterday, of course the party tonight is going to be a lot of fun. We might need to call it the 105k party though.

My CNET business cards finally came in, but funnily enough they still have the old logo. I guess this means I’m official now. 🙂

Only in the Bay area: Last night I was down at the Mountain View In-n-Out Burger enjoying a double and chocolate shake when I ran into Paul Martino, CTO of Tribe, and his lovely wife. We were both on the “Open Source Infrastructure” panel just last week. Tribe is doing some neat things with open data and standards, it’s time to check them out again.

WordPress 100,000 Party, and here’s the Evite. This is going to be a lot of fun. 🙂

Hacking a9’s Open Search into WordPress, so you can have your blog as a sidebar on a9.com.

So there is an Open Source Business Conference happening in a few weeks a few blocks away from me and I just randomly came across the site. After SxSW, reading about OSBC is like being in another world: it’s $1500 to go, only two days long, the language on the site is sickeningly corporate, and I haven’t heard of a single person there. Then again, this is an “open source” conference with Microsoft as a platinum sponsor. A real Open Source conference would have no fees, everything would be web streamed, the line between speakers and attendees would be thin or non-existant, and the topics would not focus so much on money. Actually, it would be a bit like Bloggercon.
