Rogers Hijacks Domain Name System, Puts Yahoo! Ads on Google’s Subdomains - So basically if you use Rogers’ internet service and you typed something like nowhere.webmaster-source.com you would get a page full of Rogers’ ads. Any subdomain that’s not in active use gets this treatment. At least it’s not as bad as inserting ads into pages as they load, or charging high monthly rates for iPhone service and then capping your data at 200mb with high overages… (You suck, Rogers!)

Whats your opinion of PeelAwayAds? - I think they’re kind of cool, and a good sort of ad. As one of the commentators said “peeling over means that there is minimal fuss until peel over, and it is a user generated action that triggers the ads(intentional or otherwise). Much better solution than those huge banners screaming ADS…ADS.” I like the way they stay hidden until hovered over, reducing add clutter significantly. Also, as someone who generally ignores ads, I tend to hover over them, because they’re kind of fun to play with, in a “ooh buttons and flashing lights” sort of way.

WP125 in the Plugin Repository - 07/31/2008 #
Yay, it's finally been approved! My WP125 plugin is now in the WordPress plugin repository. This means I will be able to more easily deliver updated versions to those of you who use the plugin. Once the judging for the WLTC plugin competition ends, I'll start work on the next version, which will introduce some further customizability.
Google to Buy Digg - 07/23/2008 #
It looks like Google might be about to buy Digg! The reported offer is reported as $200 million. Link 1, Link 2. I don't mind, as long as they don't Google-ify the already good-looking design, integrate Google Accounts with the site, and rename it something generic "Google Vote" or "Google Crowd."
WP 2.6 WTH: Where's the Button? - 07/18/2008 #
Some n00b WordPress developer apparently thought it would be funny to remove the Image button in the WYSIWYG editor. Well it isn't. Do you have any idea how often I insert images into my posts? Often enough I shouldn't have to tab into HTML mode and do it manually.
