WordPress, Comments, Caching, and annoyances

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 16-Jan-2009

This is just a short note to explain why I turned off IntenseDebate: it just seems to use way too much memory on my server — I had to increased the memory available to my blog twice, and was still having issues. Quite frankly, I don’t feel like I was getting anything out of using [...]

WordPress 2.3 Transition

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 26-Sep-2007

You have to redirect your categories to the tags page so that user agents (browsers and RSS readers) can update their links (if they bother, sigh).

PowerShell Highlighting for GeSHi

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 09-Jun-2007

A while back I switched to GeSHi for source code highlighting in my posts, and recently I started writing PowerShell scripts in my posts, and calmly sticking it in <code lang=“posh”> tags, half expecting it to just work, like all the other languages … but of course it didn’t. So after a few searches on [...]

Huddled Columns

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 11-Mar-2007

I’ve created a variation on the Plain Masses theme, based on the idea of having lots of extra columns on the front page. I got the basic idea from the International Herald Tribune site — they use tables to achieve the effect, and obviously have strict control over what shows up where. I’ve been trying [...]

Wikia says: Forget Free … we’ll PAY you

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 18-Dec-2006

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced that his for-profit company, Wikia Inc., is ready to give away not just MediaWiki (the software which runs Wikipedia) but also the hosting you need to run it. And even further, if you run what they consider to be a popular website, you can even have the advertising revenue from [...]

TextileWrapper 2.0 and GeSHiWrapper 1.4

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 16-Aug-2006

EDIT I’m inserting an extra paragraph Just to test if the textile stuff is misbehaving Because I had an error report. I’m releasing a new version of the WordPress Textile 2 plugin, as well as my own plugin for doing syntax highlighting with GeSHi. But I feel like I need to explain what’s going on, [...]

Windows Live Writer

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 14-Aug-2006

So, Microsoft release Windows Live Writer this weekend, and all I really need to say is: Wow, go get this, it could be a home run. I’m typing up this post using Writer, and not only did it work automatically with my WordPress blog … it automatically downloaded my “style” so that I’m actually editing [...]

Ubernyms: the ultimate text-replacement plugin

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 05-May-2006

The purpose of ubernyms is to allow you configure a set of frequently used abbreviations that will be automatically encoded nicely whenever you use them. The goal is to make them visible in a way that is literate for both humans and computers. In other words: we tag them appropriately for your computer, and expand [...]

Best hosting deal?

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 04-Jan-2006

Netfirms has a coupon code that gives you a year for under $10, but that still might not be the best deal, long term.

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
