Jay Talbot’s Ramblings

As my oldest readers know, I switched from my own blogging software to WordPress. Well, I found something worthy of my time to help out on. There’s a heavily miodified, if not entirely new, version of wp-mail.php maintained by Dirk Elmendorf, which gives you the ability to make entries over email. This version is much more secure than the original and can support unlimited authorized email addresses. It’s clean, very intuitive, and packs a ton of nice little features. I’ve got a couple fo more ideas on how to make it even better. Scarey huh? lol!

Maybe more later….

Yes! It’s true! I started toying with code again. GeBlog is still effectively dead, but there’s something else I had been working on using a slightly older and slightly different version of the framework I had set for GeBlog. It’s a tape management system. I spent 3 months solid developing this monster app. (part of the reason I got burned out) I originally developed it for the company I work for, but they aren’t using it and it’s not a supported platform anyway. (another reason I got burned out…. no appreciation) I plan to open source it under the GPL and begin development again on it. I hate CVS, but if I have to, I have to. Again, it’s written in PHP4 and uses ADODB. The framework is pluggable, so it can grow to whatever you want. It also sports a simple user/admin control panel, as well as login authentication, which GeBlog did not.
