first plugin: term define

Term Define is a pretty simple plugin – something really just to get my feet wet in the area. For any ALL-CAPS terms/words in a post, when the page is rendered, a link to dictionary.com is inserted. So a word like ‘HULA’ would get transformed into HULA. (Note: I’m not using this particular plugin on [...]

wordpress plugins

I’ve started writing [simple] plugins for WordPress – the blogging tool I use to manage antipaucity.com. As I write more, if I think they’re worth sharing, I’ll write about them here. A full list will also be available at http://antipaucity.com/plugins.

synthetic fuel

I came across this news story today regarding Rentech that is planning to produce “synthetic” fuels, ear-marking more than half their planned production for airline use (16k barrels of 30k barrels in their first facility). Of course, this is only a tiny amount compared to the amount of petroleum consumed per day worldwide, but as [...]

denita smith, 1981-2007

As I mentioned a few days ago, I was a juror on a trial. That trial was the State of North Carolina vs Shannon Crawley in the unlawful death of Denita Smith on 04-Jan-2007. Miss Smith’s fiancee, Jermier Stroud, was implicated by the defendant. Mr Stroud is a police officer in Greensboro. Under oath, and [...]

2.5 months

A lot has happened in the last couple months. I got home from Singapore, having ended my term with Barclays. I found and started a new job. I’ve been apartment hunting. Oh, and I’ve been a member of a jury for the last couple weeks. After it’s over, I can say for whom – but [...]

an awesome visit

but not long enough My fiancee boarded her flight back to Kentucky this morning (Singapore time). Her three week visit was a blast: we did a weekend trip to Perth Australia, hit the Singapore resort island of Sentosa twice, and a bunch of other little stuff. We have pictures on facebook of both Perth and [...]

nasa searching for new challenges

I saw this in /. earlier in the week. Apparently NASA is turning to the American public for new challenge/contest ideas. I don’t know whether to be impressed that they’re trying to get new perspective.. or scared that they can’t come up with it on their own. There’s lots and lots of smart people at [...]

wedding plans

Have begun. I just got a site setup for my fiancee and I to keep our friends and family up-to-date on what’s going on: http://warrenmyers.com/wedding/. And yes – she picked the blog theme

html 5

A list apart has a nice write-up of the forthcoming HTML 5 standard. If you are like most designers, you probably don’t write all your markup by hand. But until the tools you use catch up to the new elements in (X)HTML 5, you will be doing some markup by hand while you learn. There’s [...]

hizook and google

I recently found out about Hizook – a robotics news aggregator. I found out from this story that was posted to Hacker News. It seems that Google thought their traffic spike was anomalous, and disabled their Adsense account without warning. Thankfully it was re-enabled a few days later, but it does undermine some confidence in [...]
