You may or may not know that I'm terribly busy at work at the moment, rewriting a large application that has its roots in PHP3 (oh yeah) and is a crazy mix of HTML and PHP.

Matt Mullenweg on wp-hackers: Let's create a 2.2 branch and start removing the current tagging implementation. I'll announce on my blog that 2.2 will be delayed. So, fear not, ye UTW users. There shall be no tagging in 2.2. The discussion has been lively to say the least. Update: Demolition! Update: Official Announcement

[lang_en] [/lang_en] [lang_de] [/lang_de] I'm looking for a Firefox extension that marks the boundaries of the previous viewport after scrolling, e.g. in most cases, a horizontal bar that, when you scroll down, signals where the bottom of the previously visible screen was. Does something like that exist, or does anyone have an idea how that could ...

Twaingle is a tool that allows you to search for images on flickr or yahoo and insert them directly into an application. Where 'application' means 'anything TWAIN-aware'. TWAINgle installs itself into the system (Windows XP only at the moment) as a TWAIN driver. Thus, all applications that have an option to "scan" images via TWAIN become ...
