New code section

I just launched a new code section. I always had something like that in the form of some separate pages, but now I integrated it into WordPress, so it looks and behaves the same as the rest of this site. I’ll have to see if I think any of the old projects are still interesting … Read more

Clean WordPress installation

Last Monday, WordPress 2.6 was released. Because I grew more and more unhappy with my WordPress installation hanging together by plugins and hacks, I saw this release as a good moment to do a completely clean install. I made a database dump and a WordPress export, dropped all tables in the database and removed all … Read more

End of support for WordPress plugins

As of today, I no longer offer support for my WordPress plugins, pretty much because I lost interest. I did fix a long lasting issue with one of them. If anyone would like to take over, just download the code and do with it as you see fit. It’s all released under a BSD style … Read more

Another post, finally

So, what have I been up to lately? Well, there’s a thing called real life that’s been keeping me busy. Obligations here, weekend trip there, you know how it goes… Then there’s the MetaD IRC network that I’ve set up with some other people. And I’ve been busy (well, sort of) with a new sort … Read more

WP Admin Links v1.1

Due to time constraints, this plugin is no longer supported and will not be updated, ever! Unless you know what you’re doing, I strongly discourage using this on a production blog because it hasn’t been tested since WordPress 2.5. Upgraded my WP Admin Links plugin to version 1.1. It is now also possible to remove … Read more

WordPress bug?

Looks like I found a bug in WordPress 2.3. It so happens that I have some pages in which I frequently use HTML entities. Since I upgraded to WordPress 2.3, when I try to edit such a page, all those entities are gone and replaced by their plain text counterparts. So all that escaped HTML … Read more

WP Last Posts v1.1

Due to time constraints, this plugin is no longer supported and will not be updated, ever! Unless you know what you’re doing, I strongly discourage using this on a production blog because it hasn’t been tested since WordPress 2.5. My WP Last Posts plugin was pretty buggy. It interfered with tings like searching (getting weird … Read more

WP List Files v2.0

Due to time constraints, this plugin is no longer supported and will not be updated, ever! Unless you know what you’re doing, I strongly discourage using this on a production blog because it hasn’t been tested since WordPress 2.5. I’ve been working on my WP List Files plugin. The code is completely refactored, and I’ve … Read more

Layout overhaul

Since the launch of this web site, I used a theme based on WP-Andreas01. Back then, I said that I probably wouldn’t be designing anymore themes myself, mostly because of MSIE. But you know how these things go, it started tinkling again. So I came up with the idea to base a layout on the … Read more

Site tweaks

Now that I have ample time available, I’ve looked at some issues that I still had with this web site. First of all, the page navigation on the left was somewhat buggy. When one was somewhere inside the blog, the “Blog” item in the menu would not be highlighted. That’s been fixed. Secondly, the page … Read more
