Hello Micky,

you should post your new plugin to Textpattern Resources.

Hey Steve, thanks for the feedback. :)

That is a good idea… I mean, it is a simple plugin, but maybe others will find it helpful. Thanks for the tip.

I guess now is as good of time as any to start a thread in the plugin section. :D

Have a great day/night!
Cheers,
Micky

Building your own plugins is a good learning experience. I’ve learned quite a bit while writing the rvm_latin1_to_utf8 plugin about indexes, charsets and collation. Probably more than I wanted to know ;)

Hehe, yup. Actually Txp and it’s plugin architecture have proven to be a great environment to learn about web-development in general but PHP and MySQL in particular. Both of these have their gotcha’s but it’s been a pleasure to learn about them under TxP.

Looking at how other peoples’ plugins do what they do is a great way to learn and Open source software allows just this.

Fantastic!

Looking forward to it. Edit: Nice entry.

Thanks. I’m on GMT+8 — I guess that’s about 15 hours ahead of Oregon (if my failing recall of US states serves me at all.)

Ok, so… plugin entry found here. :)

Hehe, that was fun.

Thanks again to Ruud and Steve… You folks have been very helpful.

Nice to have met you Steve. Borneo sounds like a great place… Oregon is good, but I am ready to move elsewhere. Hehe, I am hoping I will land a job in some far-off warm and exotic place.

G’night!
Cheers,
Micky
