I’ve released a new version of my mpsimple Adium theme. 1.30 adds three new “no nickname” variants that omit nicknames from the chat window, showing only coloured “greater than” signs. Perfect if you like more screen real estate.

A nice WordPress plugin for Lessn. I’d also like to se a plugin leveraging the built-in short URL function the_shortlink() that will be introduced in WP3.

I’m excited for the upcoming release of WordPress 3, and have been testing my Most Popular Tags plugin to ensure that it works properly with the new version. Things are going smoothly, and if any bugs appear during testing with the final 3.0 platform, I expect they will be quick fixes. When WP 3 is available to the masses, I’ll update the information on the plugin directory page / bang out a quick patch shortly thereafter.

MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBM systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality).

The site has an interactive tutorial that is fantastic.

It is critical that the core experience of real-time introductions and information is protected for the user and with an eye toward long-term success for all advertisers, users and the Twitter ecosystem. For this reason, aside from Promoted Tweets, we will not allow any third party to inject paid tweets into a timeline on any service that leverages the Twitter API.

A major blow for quite a few developers, I would imagine.
