Here is a WordPress plugin that I had almost forgot about only to “rediscover” it during an upgrade of WordPress. The main reason being that it is a drop in replacement for Rochus Wolff Endnotes plugin which I didn’t realized that I had replaced. The main difference is that the drop in replacement don’t need any hacking done to wp-include/functions.php and has a simpler implementation.

Ok, I must just post something. Otherwise it will just become even more embarrassing when the message “upgrade postponed” sits on top for a whole month and I’ve upgraded not once, but twice, in that time frame. Not that I have much to tell, I’ve some things that I plan to post but couldn’t find the time to finish due to lack of time. But there will be more installments (O’ Hyperbole!) of Redesign Chronicles to come. Also on my ToDo-list is the rel-link WordPress plugin that is still semi-broken and needs fixing.
I’m going to upgrade WordPress to the latest 2.1 version this weekend. Not that it should matter to you or the day to day business of this blog. I just want to mention it because I will not get around updating my own plugins and widgets, of which one is reported broken, until after the upgrade.
I have been playing around with the Amazon Web Services and S3 in particular over the last couple of days. It’s something I have planned to do for a long time now but never have come around till now. But I got a kick in the but to wake up and smell the Amazon Kool-Aid (ok, too many mixed metaphors and pop-cultural references) when I heard Jeff Barr’s presentation “Web Services: Fuelling Innovation and Entrepreneurship” from d.Construct 2006 about AWS, especially how easy it is to get started and play around with the services. One of the tools he mentioned, S3 Firefox Organizer, a Firefox add-on, had me up and running in matter of minutes.

I hope everyone using WordPress know that it ships with a backup plugin. It’s a great beginner solution that makes people aware that they should care about making backups of their data. But to me it didn’t make the cut a while ago when I really started to care about safe backup of my data. Part of the story is the fact I’ve got two blogs, this one and one in swedish, in addition to some other stuff in a hosted database they all share.

I’m currently working on an article that make use of some math notation. Normally, in such cases, when you need something out of the ordinary that can’t easily be marked up as XHTML you render an image (yes, I know about MathML). It’s quite easy to render beautiful math formulae off-line. But making the round-trip out of WordPress can also be quite annoying, especially if you do a lot of tweaking and I normally do a lot of tweaking.

A couple of days ago I stated that I hadn’t yet begun looking for a navigation link plugin for WordPress yet, because I imagined that I could write one just as quickly myself rather than sift through a zillion plugins that all do the same thing in addition to suffering from bad cases of optionitis.
But I didn’t exactly start to write a plugin after I penned that. Nor did I start to look for one.
Until today. Writing one that is.
