Anthology of Ideas

I’ve used Firefox for years mostly for the tabs. However, Firefox 2 removed the ability to “force new windows to open in tabs” and lately my number of “required” extensions have built up to the point that opening a new window takes 5-10 seconds. Which makes the occasional link that forces a new window very irritating. To force all new windows into tabs type about:config in your url bar and

The The just released version 0.2. I have been watching it for a while now, but even though it has some features that I really like, it still hasn’t reached a point that I would consider switching this website from WordPress (mostly because I would have to rewrite far too many need-to-have plugins). However, recently I started thinking about re-writing some of my plugins for it–especially what will eventually become INAP 3.0, but when I try to find reasonable plugin documentation, it just doesn’t exist–not even simple tutorials.

I’ve been playing around with WordPress 2.3 Alpha and so far I like it. Good Things: I like the new post status “Pending Review” and the ability to sort posts by status. Somone posted pictures here. Tags are looking good.. A UTW tag importer is built in; of course, I realized this only after I created one. The “categories” database tables have been retired and everything is tag based (categories are a type of tag similar to the ways pages are just a form of post).

Matt Cutts [was at Wordcamp] shared with the audience…that underscores in URLs are now (or at least very soon to be) treated as word separators by Google. –News Blog This is very good news.

As mentioned previously I have been trying to move INAP away from a simply function based system to a class based system. The PHP was unbelievably easy to convert. It literally took a couple hours to convert the entire program from prefixed functions to nice, neat and easy-to-read classes. It was rolled out with a few bugfixes and very little stress. Then I started to do the same to Javascript, so the plugin could clarify its variables and functions and still “play nice,” and I swear the all the Javascript was specifically coded to make it difficult.

I keep stats though several different methods. Each page and post records its total pageviews, my server keeps its logs, and I use Google Analytics as a backup. Now according to Google Analytics the most popular page on my site has had 13,000 views over a specific time period; however, the page view the page keeps itself recorded over 20,500 in this same time period and the server logs seem to agree.
