I wrote the first half of this on the train back from the city on Saturday night, so if tenses and time references are confusing, that’s why (though I tried to correct all). After a rough start (missing the 8:40a train by two minutes & having to wait for the 9:40, meaning I didn’t get to Baruch ’til 11:30, missing the morning panel I wanted to see), the first day turned out to be very nice. After lunch there was something I wanted to go to every timeslot, which to me makes the day a success.
So what panels did I go to, anyway?

My Weekend @ WordCamp NYC
An update!
So I suppose I should write an update. I’ve got another plugin in the works, it’s essentially done but it’s very simple, and there are more features I want to add. It’s basically a horizontal navigation menu of your pages. So yes, it’s essentially wp_list_pages() in plugin form. But! Stylized a bit to be not so much a list as multiple levels. Anyway. It’s the kind of plugin that probably exists 100 times over and possibly better, but I was getting sick of using wp-andreas09′s navigation for a project at work and decided I could do so much better.
In any case, I’d like to add the ability to also display post categories, and whatever else you may want to have on a navigation bar. I’ll release the basic one first though, likely through WP’s plugin system (subversion? really? seems like an awful lot of touble just for a plugin…). Then I’ll probably work concurrently on a next version incorporating the above, and forked version which will allow dropdowns, if only because I just discovered jQuery and want to play. Or maybe some other functionality abusing jQuery (I don’t know why I hadn’t heard about this before, but I love it!).
Anyway, aside from plugin news I’m finally opening this site up for real, with just a warning. Since I’m never going to stop playing with the design of it anyway. So, ‘perpetually under construction, please watch for falling code.’ And now to play with plugins some more (… what homework?).
