BuddyPress Moving Forward
BuddyPress , if you haven’t heard about it before, is a set of plugins to transform your vanilla installation of Wordpress Multi-User (WPMU) into a social networking service. It includes friends lists, twitter and facebook type updates, messages, groups and many other wonderful features. In the past couple of months, Andy has done some great [...]
Backing Up With JungleDisk
I am sure that most of you have a “horror story” about a computer failure, natural disaster or just plain incompetence with regards to our data. I must say that with all the bad luck I have had with computers over the years, my backup solutions have managed to save me more than once. Some [...]
Love For Wordpress
I have been an avid supporter of all things wordpress for the past 3 years. This includes testing out development versions of the software, helping in various support forums and of course, using the product on a regular basis!

!$text$!
I just installed the iPhone Wordpress application and found this nice little post here on my blog. Thought I would take this opportunity to showcase it as a bug. I didn’t realize it was there until just now, but this can’t be right. Is this known [...]
Wordpress 2.6 Officially Released
Ryan tagged it about 40 minutes ago and Matt announced it on the Dev blog. The new version has a little video about it that is worth a look:
Some of the big changes are new theme previews before activating, integration of Google Gears to speed up the administration on your computer and post revisions [...]
WPMU 2.6 Beta Release
The title is not a typo as we jumped from WPMU 1.5 to WPMU 2.6 to keep up with the releases of WP as not to add confusion with different version numbers. Donncha just put this beautiful beta release in the wild and if you are adventurous you can take it out for a spin [...]
Smashing My Sites Up
It hasn’t been a very good day for my websites. I am having some issues with getting some files back where they are supposed to, so if you find yourself seeing things out of the ordinary or not working at all while viewing my site, I am sorry. Shit happens.
Finally iTunes Movies In Canada
I have talked about this one for a long period of time and I am pleased to tell the following story. I was watching Starchoice tonight and watching “Cruel intentions” and remembered how much I love the soundtrack. I quickly moved over to iTunes to find that I could buy the movie. Bewildered, I clicked [...]
xCache and Optimization
I have blogged about my fascination with server optimization in the past and this is a continuation on from that discussion about my quest to help ease server load and continue to learn new great practices in the process. Here is a list of some of the recent things I have looked at:
Introduced the new [...]
Social Networking Cost Benefit Relationship
My generation is really in an interesting position to comment on the rise of the internet and the technologies available to date. Since the internet really started to become commercial and wide open in the early 1990’s we have seen some dramatic changes. We went from static to dynamic [...]
Looking At Performance
Optimization and performance tuning is something that has sparked my attention and consumed lots of my spare time in the past couple of months. All and all, it really has been worth it.
Late last year, it became clear to me that administration and upgrading was really becoming a real pain for me. Just [...]

Raincoaster got the big laugh for me with her tumblr blog entry:

YouTube Private Video Sharing?
I have to admit that without any mass editing tools at YouTube, I am losing my mind. I have a couple of “private” video sharing playlists and one of them is up to 107 videos now. On every video, I have to update the “sharing” list so that the videos can be seen by the [...]
Securing Our Blogging
Ever since Matt blogged about secure blogging on wordpress.com I have really had it in the back of my mind that maybe I should entertain thinking about doing something myself. That article linked to some work that Ryan had done on securing wordpress using ssl. There were some mixed results on that plugin, but it [...]
