As you may have already known, WordPress 2.7 introduces a lot of new features, among them are the hierarchical comment system, a brand new admin panel, and most interesting (for me) the ability to make a post “sticky”. This concept of sticky posts is not new, in fact it’s been around quite a while in [...]

I have a good news and a bad news for today. The bad news is, I got hit by a f-king drunker several days ago in a traffic accident (Saigon’s traffic is pure shit) and had to take some macro surgeries. The good news is, due to this accident I have some free time to [...]

Firstly, I’d like to show off a bit: hey I’ve caught up with the crowd, now both of my sites (this one and Thica.net) are upgraded to WordPress 2.7 - well, let’s hope that it is not prone to new vulnerabilities. The most significant change is the admin section - for the first time in [...]

Hi everyone!
It’s been a while… yes I know I’m feeding up your ears (or eyes) with this same old same old greeting, but I’ve never been a good speaker.
So it’s been a while, and I’m writing another small plugin for personal purpose. Remember, I have another site dedicated to Vietnamese poetry? Well, I’m trying to [...]

If it’s been a while since my last update on this blog, then I’d say sorry, I was working on a re-design of my favorite thica.net site. Ok, I’ll be honest here: I didn’t invent anything, instead I only took a copy of the great Notepad Chaos theme from Smashing Magazine and spent some time [...]

As said yesterday, I’ve managed to update my Referrer Detector plugin to its second major release. During the last week, it was soooo great to see that despite of all the bugs and limitations, my plugin has been warmly welcomed. And never in my (blogging) life have I had to moderate that many of comments. [...]

Woa… again, it’s been a long time since the first released day of my WordPress plugin Referrer Detector: 3 days! To stop you from laughing at that long long 3 days, I would like to notice that in our Internet, time is measure in microseconds. So, it’s been 3*24*60*60*1000,000 = 259 200 000 000 microseconds, [...]

It’s been a while since the last time I updated this blog (read: portfolio & more). No, I wasn’t playing stock, I’m simply not that good in economic stuffs - do I need to mention about THE crisis? And I wasn’t watching the election neither (I know that Obama won however, through some stories on [...]

As you may know, I’ve just written my first WordPress plugin some days ago. You guess it, one of the most important steps to popularize a software is preparing a good readme file. With WordPress, a readme file has more than that - WordPress will parse the text in a standardized readme.txt into data to [...]

Yes, it’s been a while, and finally my favorite PHP framework has released its latest version 1.7.0 (Actually it was some 7 days ago but I missed it, what a shame).
When the previous version (1.6.3) was just more or less about maintenance and bug fixes, 1.7.0 makes a step further to add many new and [...]
