    Pods is worth checking out; it helps turn wordpress into a full fledged CMS.

    Pods

    Pods is a CMS framework for WordPress. It’s a plugin that sits on top of WordPress, allowing you to add and display your own content types.
    These content types, or “pods”, are totally separate from Posts, Pages, or Custom Fields. The Pods plugin uses its own database structure for maximum efficiency, and for relationships among items.


  2. WordPress: HTTP error while uploading

    November 21, 2009 by jerome

    we recently had those weird errors – using the flash uploader or the html uploader didn’t improve the situation: the dreaded HTTP error kept on buging us until we realised our error: the wordpress install was protected by a password (apache’s .htaccess) and the solution was lying there as well: the following has to sit in .htaccess in the wp-admin folder fr the time the blog is protected by a password:

    
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName share
    Satisfy Any
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>
    
    

    * we didn’t monitor what would happen to this htaccess after an automated upgrade


  3. The Go Programming Language

    The Go Programming Language.

    * this is big; if you are into programming languages or at least keen on discovering new languages. This is the latest addition by Google rooted into Plan9 via Inferno. I am really keen on discovering more about it – even if just by curiosity and no particular projects. I think Plan 9 conception of computers as communication hub is brilliant and perfectly fit our no-yet-so current conception of the internet (read: electronci presence) – and thus any grand children of this very conception helps things happen/evolve a bit faster…

    ** give to Mike what “belongs” to him: Mike found out about the Plan 9 familly roots.
