In developing the new site (more info soon I promise!) I’ve been scouring the ‘net for the best and brightest of plugins for Wordpress to not only improve the site and content, but to make my life easier.
Enter Pluginstaller.
This Wordpress plugin created by Henning Shaefer revamps the Plugin screen in the admin panel and […]
Just the other day, I noticed that my Akismet Spam filter for the blog had blocked it’s 10,000th Spam comment. That’s a lotta spam.
It’s amazing to me how much Internet bandwidth must be consumed by spam-bots posting to blogs and forums. The official Akismet website hosts a segment they call the Spam […]
I just found by chance today a new service, and a wordpress plugin for that service!
The service is MyOpenID.com, which provides a persistent login mechanism across websites which support the technology. This allows you to provide only your MyOpenID.com user account name to sign up for certain sites/services. This “single-sign-on” technology can greatly reduce […]

Sometime ago Apple removed the tool wget from the OS X toolset and replaced it with the arguably more powerful curl tool. This new tool is great, and it has many new advanced features that the older wget tool lacks. However curl has one thing against it: it’s somewhat […]
I realize it’s not a new technology (its on ver. 23), but its one I’ve recently adopted. We’re planning on doing some re-arranging to put an office in the house, and that means computers in different rooms. What I need now, I said to myself, is a way of extending my wireless network to […]
For those of you who run your own blogs, and take care of the updates yourselves, I’ve created a Wordpress Upgrade script. Note: This is a Linux/Unix/Mac OS X shell script, not a Windows batch file.
The script is very simple:
