Plugin Repository Downloads
March 02, 2005

The one weakness I see of the WordPress SVN Plugin Repository is that there is no way to easily deploy your plugin from that space after you’ve written it.

I susppose that there is some utility in “releasing” your plugins from your own site, but it seems like there should be an easier way to deploy plugins than the currently required process. (Something like: zipping your own working directory, uploading it to your site, telling everyone it’s there and not at the repo even though that’s where the code usually is, blah blah blah…)

Plugins on Asymptomatic
March 02, 2005

I get asked pretty regularly what plugins I use on this WordPress site
to achieve these “impressive” features. Sometimes it’s a custom plugin, sometimes it’s not a plugin at all. I have written many plugins for WordPress, most of which you can download from the wp-hacks page.

After the break is a list of all of the plugins in use here at Asymptomatic. This list should update dynamically when I change which plugins are active.

A Curious Thing
March 01, 2005

While on the road toward lunch today, I saw a guy come around the bend on Marshallton-Thorndale Road and lose control of his car.

It’s one of those things where you’re in your car headed toward something that you don’t know if you want to stop where you are or press on quickly in hopes of avoiding whatever is about to transpire.
