I mentioned this on twitter, but I wanted to get it out here too...if you use TextMate to do your theme development, would you use a bundle that contains a variety of functions for your functions.php file? I've got quite the collection set up that I use regularly, and I am thinking of releasing it for download.

I finally found a few minutes to put the finishing touches on an open-source theme conversion I've been working on for a while. I have posted the theme for download here. Take a look, and let me know what you think.

So I've been using the awesome SwissCenter media streaming server with my PopcornHour A-100 for a while now. Over the weekend, Windows XP decided it didn't want to run on my file server any longer (yeah, I know... :) ). In it's place I installed Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron". After migrating my SwissCenter settings over to the new Linux install, everything worked, except SwissCenter no longer showed up on the Sources page on the A-100.

Recently, while developing a Wordpress theme for a client, I devised a handy trick to use different headline graphics for pages (it should work for posts too) based on the page title. The basis of the trick is to name your headline graphics the same as the pages they are to show up on (ex.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have bumped everyone's favorite tag cloud plugin for Wordpress 2.3+ to version 4.5. What's new? The biggest change is the addition of an Options page for configuring the plugin when used as a template tag. As always, you can see the full changelog, get the new version, and leave comments from the CTC page.

Just a quick note to release my newest Wordpress-related download, a bundle for the excellent OS X text editor TextMate for doing Wordpress development. The bundle includes template for common WP theme files, updated snippets for newer versions of WP, and various other time-savers. Head over to the Bundle page to check it out and download it.

After switching my hosting and theme earlier this month, I decided to update and release my original blog theme to the general public. Head on over to the Reciprocity Wordpress Theme page to take a peek and download the theme.

Being a freelance web developer, there are many times where I'm moving domains for clients (or more recently, myself), and need to know when the DNS entries change to point at the new version of a site. I could just keep submitting an nslookup request manually, but that requires me to stop whatever it is I'm doing, switch to my terminal app, and execute the command.

Just a quick release to add a feature and fix one. The new feature is the ability to randomly sort the tag cloud. This option will show a completely different order of the tags to each visitor to your site. Not really earth-shattering, but it was asked for, so there it is.
