Browsing Posts in PHP

Holy sheep shit! I just fixed a known (to me) bug in the vox-crossposter WP plugin I wrote a LONG time ago. All I changed was the character encoding from $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′.”\r\n”; to $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8′.”\r\n”; If you look at the second “known bugs” list at http://www.acedanger.com/vox-crossposter, you will see [...]

Meri and I were in bed, getting ready to fall asleep and then she started talking about work and how she didn’t want to go back tomorrow. That got me talking (and thinking) about my job. Then I started bitching…and bitching and bitching and bitching. So now, about 2 hours later (yeah, we go to [...]

My plugin was in a write up about WordPress plugins on the blog Mashable.  Here is a link to the entry: http://mashable.com/2007/08/02/wordpress-readers/.   How cool is that?! I found it by looking through some of the incoming links to my blog.  I clicked on a link from an Asian site and saw a link to Mashable.com.  [...]

First and foremost, I want to thank David Chartier for the write-up he completed for the DownloadSquad regarding my WordPress plugin, the Vox Crossposter. I didn’t think the plugin was that big of a deal until users started to email me, asking me for help installing the plugin. I received a lot of positive feedback [...]

I just found this badass site for searching through the WordPress source code!  This site makes searching through the source very easy!  It is a PIA to search through the source code by hand.

I have been contacted by David Chartier of the blog DownloadSquad.com and was inquiring about writing a post there about the WordPress plugin I created to crosspost WordPress posts to Vox (I dubbed it the Vox Crossposter, pretty ingenious huh??)! That’s pretty damned exciting I think. He also inquired about whether or not I would [...]

The marathon painting session is OVER.  Five rooms in five days!  One room a day makes it sound very misleading and almost simplistic.  We actually have been doing trim for the past two days so that means five rooms in three days!  It was insane.  I’m glad it is over!  Now I can just go [...]

So I spent about [insert very large number here] hours working on my plugin yesterday because someone told me that it wasn’t working for them! “That cannot be true” I thought. So I emailed (many, many times) and messaged the blogger attempting to use my plugin and after those many hours, I fixed it! Thanks [...]

I added a sidebar option in WordPress that allows you to choose whether or not you want to crosspost the entry you are creating to Vox or not. Here is a screen shot: Beautiful ain’t it?! For my next trick, I’m going to look into a bug that is putting a funky character (Â) in [...]

Since I’m so proud of my WordPress plugin, I figured I’d go ahead and spread the word about it in the hopes of everybody in the world (that has a WordPress blog and a Vox blog) would use my plugin. I’ve posted stories to Digg, Reddit, Netscape (not that anybody reads that crap anyway), Shoutwire [...]
