This site used to be at http://dave.stufftoread.net/ but that’s now proudly sporting some dull adverts, as it is being held ransom by enom.com. They want $200 or so for me to get it back from them because the domain registration expired. Not even remotely likely! So, after 5 years of stufftoread.net, it’s time to settle down here instead.
I’ve just tagged version 0.31 over at dev.wp-plugins.org, and upgraded this site to use it. If it looks weird (if you’ve visited this site before) hit <ctrl>+R to refresh the css rules.
This Wordpress installation uses the latest stable versions of my slideshow plugin. To see what’s around the corner, visit the Testing Grounds. Be warned though: you might be disappointed as it could well be broken.
I’m in the process of moving to a new server. Currently my old photos are off-line. They’ll be back in a few days weeks months.
Having sat down to write a Zooomr plugin yesterday, I then realised I wanted one for some feeds from Last.fm. That would involve writing and installing an almost identical plugin. I like general solutions, not specific ones, so here’s how I did the same job with just one plugin and a bit of XSLT magic.
I just knocked up a plugin for Wordpress to display any Zooomr RSS feed out there. It seems to work for Flickr feeds too, which is nice. The other ones seemed too complicated.
Update: I won’t support this plugin as I’ve now ditched it in favour of an XSLT-based method, but I’m leaving this here for posterity.
I’m getting ready for the Canada trip to visit Elaine, so I thought I’d set up a blog to post anything interesting along the way. I’ll put up my favourite photos too, if there are any really good ones.
