Rant on wordpress updates and plugins that bundle jquery

Published by on 17 Dec '10 | Leave a response

I updated WordPress yesterday and did I come to regret it… It deleted all post cache and the ‘WordPress Popular Posts’ plugin stopped working. Whilst I was looking into it, I noticed it was bundling jQuery into the page. What’s worse, the plugin does not seem to function / record article views when jQuery is disabled (all the visual animations… Read more →

Published by on 15 Dec '10 | 1 Response

Great timing is essential to great interviews (cough) but this one really is a cracker. Mark Obcena only had the official announcement / release of his new book “Pro JavaScript with MooTools” earlier today (after great anticipation, if I may add). So, what better time to get a few answers from the man of the moment than right now? I… Read more →

Intermoos series, part 3: “ketching up” with Christoph Pojer

Published by on 14 Dec '10 | 2 Responses

Another day, another “intermoo”. I really wanted to get Justin Bieber to comment on MooTools today but seeing as he refused to commit to answering my questions, I got the next best thing: the chance to ketchup[1] with Christoph Pojer from the MooTools core team. When you meet with Chris, there’s something endearing about him, and it’s not just the… Read more →

Bash scripting: find recently modified files on a linux/*nix server

Published by on 23 Sep '10 | Leave a response

This has turned out to be a somewhat tricky task – to find all updated files since nn-number of days within the current path / directory tree. The first bit was, use the find command like so: find . -mtime -3 -printf “%Tx\t%p\n” This gives you the modified date and name / relative path of all changed files within the… Read more →

mootools Request.JSONP to decode shortened url hashes

Published by on 13 Aug '10 | 3 Responses

I tend to get annoyed about URL baiting that takes place over social networks – you really don’t know what’s behind a shortened URL until you click it. Or… until you run a URL resolver that can help. In building my Twitter Trend Aggregator, I came to explore this and found an invaluable service through the API of longurl.org that… Read more →
