Re: Scribkin’s WordPress Plugins - Let Me Show You Them

I actually wrote this post over a year ago (5-17-08 to be precise) so the site has undergone many changes since then. Onle of the last changes I made was to go with a very light theme with no CSS so that people could choose their own font via their browser preference.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not using *any* plugins now.. In fact, I currently have 33 active plugins, including: Add to Any, Akismet, All In One SEO, Disqus and more.

Hm, I could probably stand to get rid of some of the older ones, though.

Thanks Scott! I do indeed. I am an experienced Linux and Windows system administrator, as well as a trainer and amateur DBA. Yay!

I hope so, Daniel, but UberVu is already aggregating everything that looks even vaguely like a comment on their servers. They've done that since before the Mashable integration, since their primary tool is a direct competitor to backtype connect.

But perhaps there is some ongoing work on the connection between Disqus and the UberVu engine that we aren't privy to. I don't see a mention of this new feature on the Disqus blog, after all.

WP-Cache is easy to turn off and on from the dashboard, so it shouldn't cost you anything in terms of functionality, even if it doesn't work.

According to D.James, it's the lobby of the downtown Marriott Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia (click through on image or name in credit).

Are you going to be at SXSW Interactive this year? That would be a good time.

Thanks Bwana! I'm really excited. We will see if I can live up to the expectations.. it's gonna be work, I know that much. But work I love to do.

It's actually a rocking chair. When the guy shifts his weight forward, the chair will roll on to its 'feet,' which in this case are attached to the footrest area. Then, he can just stand up.

The only thing he really has to worry about is not rolling back into full recline too fast, or he might shift the center of gravity too far back and end up mostly on his head. Still, the chair is not that high off the ground so it wouldn't tump over too quickly even in that case.

It just looks bizarre. I'm sure it's actually super-comfortable!

Thanks Felipe, I thought so too! I didn't actually take the picture, of course.. just found it on Flickr when doing a search for 'lamppost.'

These dogs are the breed Shiba Inu. They are very popular in Japan and are extremely smart dogs, with a strong personality. So, easy to train but also get bored easily.

Indeed it is, Michael. At least, recently discovered, as of an episode or two back. Regarding the Crash conversation, a message on Friendfeed or my personal email is absolutely acceptable!

Of course! If I could, I'd reblog like half of yours, Thomas', and a dozen other Flickr photographer's photos!

Thanks for the visit! I agree with you, I think Qwidget is an interesting and compelling social utility. I'm going to have fun discovering new uses for it in future blog posts!

Re: louisgray.com: Trackbacks Are Still Dead. Could Tweetbacks Take Their Place?

eng1ne — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:51:19 -0000

Not a replacement, no. The problem with linkbacks in general is that, especially on big blogs, they are heavily 'gamed', making them essentially useless for tracking buzz.

Re: louisgray.com: Trackbacks Are Still Dead. Could Tweetbacks Take Their Place?

eng1ne — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:49:56 -0000

In fact, a service called PostRank does this already for RSS feed entries, and they have started developing widgets and other things that expose this rating system.

FeedBacks. I like that sound of that. :)

Re: Disqus Enables FriendFeed Sync

It does look like it will sync both ways inside the FriendFeed section of the Disqus comments area. If you are logged in to Disqus and have FriendFeed registered with your API key on your profile, you will see a comment input field down there.

Re: Disqus Enables FriendFeed Sync

eng1ne — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:30:36 -0000

Yes, Disqus enabled SUP pretty early on, it makes comments appear almost instantaneously in FriendFeed, which IMO is very cool.

In theory, it will partially replicate what Glenn's "FriendFeed Comments" plugin does, except I don't believe "likes" are displayed. Plus it looks like it may only aggregate on the blog side, similar to what FFtoDisqus does.

Re: Disqus Enables FriendFeed Sync

eng1ne — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:22:14 -0000

I may have made a hasty assumption. The Disqus blog says "pull/post".. not "push/pull." So, I would have to defer the answer to Daniel, or wait until it is answered on the Disqus blog.
