One Week in Vancouver

Here, have some postcardy pictures of Vancouver, from around about where I am staying. And this is a squirrel in Stanley Park. You may be familiar with squirrels. I, however, am not familiar with squirrels; so they fill me with an unreasonable and insidious amount of glee and delight. I imagine that when they aren’t […]

UTW: Maybe it’s time for a revolutionary change

I’ve been thinking about changing UTW to have a bare-bones tagging implementation; with additional plugins to perform various bits of extra functionality. Would having to enable a handful of plugins be completely irritating? Would it be confusing? (So you’d have the core-UTW plugin with, say, a simple formatting plugin and the geegaw tag-interface; or perhaps […]

Ultimate Tag Warrior 3.14159265

Hokay. More bugfixes! The thing with tags being eaten by the wordpress 2.1 beta by comment-actions ought to be fixed. The thing where atom feeds were coming back invalid because of a mix of dc:subject and category tags. The thing where bbPress and UTW wouldn’t play nice because UTW had a is_tag function, and bbPress […]

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.9

New uber-version of UTW! Beware: – There are new options which might cause wonky behaviour (mostly just automatically included tags appearing) – go to the Options > Tags page and hit save to make ’em vanish. New Features: – If there are database permission issues that prevent the auto-updater from running, you won’t see error […]

Stilton

I’ve made my first Stilton! I followed the recipe on Jack Schmidlings cheese recipe page. I’m interested to see how it turns out; but having a two month wait to get feedback is a little nerve-wracking. It’s important to have tools cleaned and sanitised. This is the milk, with the culture, rennet and mold. It […]
