http://redradar.net Yet another WordPress site Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:29:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://redradar.net/2009/11/my-weekend-wordcamp-nyc/ Apparently it just doesn't work. There's a bug in the uvcvideo driver that kills the other USB ports, and causes suspend and hibernate to fail. You can apparently fix this by being ninja and hitting fn+f6 before it loads, but I'm not that good, so I just blacklisted uvcvideo. If you're ... http://redradar.net/2009/11/ubuntu-910-on-msi-wind/ Over the past few days I've been poking around here updating a few things, and generally making things more shiny (I hope). The biggest change is that I've moved the blog down to the root directory, that is, to see this page the URL used to be redradar.net/wp/, and it ... http://redradar.net/2009/10/housekeeping/ Also, post-from-site v1.9.0 is out! I think I caught all the small bugs, but I am just me, so let me know if I missed anything. I've been working (slowly) on figuring out what exactly I'm doing here with pfs, and now I've got a better roadmap than the vague ... http://redradar.net/2009/09/i-exist/ So, I guess I'm learning a few things as I go along in developing pfs. And I mean things I know in theory - like not to release something that's not properly tested - but for some reason don't think about when I'm working. Doesn't help that I don't really ... http://redradar.net/2009/07/i-did-say-adventures-didnt-i/ This post is the last test of PFS before release. If you're reading it, then v1.6.20 should be available for download sometime tomorrow (Saturday). Some new things: Proper image support Ability to create custom links for posting to individual categories (like suggested here) Better documentation and cleaner code Probably more things too, but it's ... http://redradar.net/2009/06/final-test-before-release/ Image support is nearly done. I'm glad WP is so well documented, it makes things like this much easier. I'd love to get the uploader working all AJAX-y, but I'm less confident in my ability there. So perhaps I'll learn, and get back to it. Support for making 'Post to X ... http://redradar.net/2009/06/pfs-update/ "Post-From-Site: Add a new post directly from your website - no need to go to the admin side." Version 1.9.0 Released 9.22.09 Download! This new wordpress plugin allows you to post straight from your front-end (i.e. website) - perfect for a quick update! Also useful if you have multiple users and don't need them ... http://redradar.net/2009/06/unveiling-post-from-site/ Over the last few days I've been avoiding my last final writing a new plugin. You may have noticed significantly more 'falling code' than usual. This one is currently very customized to a specific client site, but as soon as I get it installed and running for them I'm planning ... http://redradar.net/2009/05/posting-from-post-from-site/ So, on the bus to UMass this morning I found myself trying to figure out the technicalities of a zombie-killing robot. Jason told me this would be my job in the zombie apocalypse, to make 'a robot with chainsaws for arms to kill zombies'. But quickly I ran into issues. ... http://redradar.net/2009/02/65/
