Scones: Recipe

The Scone (pronounced to rhyme with “cone” or “con”) must be among the most civilized of breads. Delicious when made plain and served with clotted cream and jam, or when fruit and seasonings are mixed into the dough, a scone can be eaten as part of a Devonshire tea, or as part of the mad morning rush out the door.

Announcing µMint

µMint Sidebar

I am happy to announce the release of a new plugin today: µMint. Like my other µ plugins, it’s a small, lightweight plugin to (hopefully) do something useful. In this case, µMint allows you to painlessly integrate Shaun Inman’s Mint into Wordpress. Unlike the currently existent solution, µMint does not make use of iframes. Instead, µMint is designed to work with both the Exposé API, by Adam Livesley as well as the included API, µAPI for Mint. Furthermore, there is a development version of a connector whcih allows Wordpress to directly query Mint, when the two share a database.

µAPI does more than just get your stats, it displays them for you. You can have your choice of a sidebar widget, a dashboard widget, or both. And, in the µ plugin philosophy, stats are cached periodically to reduce the number of API calls required.

I think that µAPI neatly bridges the gap between Mint and Wordpress, and I hope you’ll give it a try.

µMint 0.3 Released

I know that there have been a couple of people waiting for this, so I’ve finally finished my µMint plugin (at least to a mostly stable state).

You can get a version from my µMint Page.

Installation Instructions.

µAudio 0.5 Released

A new, improved and super shrunk 0.5 branch is out. Check out my µAudio page, or head over to µAudio at wordpress.org for a copy of your very own.

And yes, screenshot 5 is real, the minimal installation is just 495 Bytes!

Thanks for all you patience.
