Those who were already using NotifyMe prior to updating their WP installation to WP 2.5 should not have had any problems working with the plugin, however new installs on WP 2.5 failed miserably due to the fact that WP seems to have made some changes related to error checking for plugins.
The problem has been fixed in the latest version (1.04); all I really had to do was put the installation instructions in a function rather than have them hanging loose inside the php file.
Anyway, go get it.
On a side note; the code for notifyme is currently really dirty and hazardous.. I will certainly clean this up once I get around to making a final version of the plugin.

explorer-tweaked
Ok first off let me start by saying that I am a happy Kubuntu user and that this is my OS of choice. However, being a sysadmin I’d be ignorant to work on one system only, this is also the reason I’m using Vista at my work.. I personally hate the OS. But since it is destined to be mainstream I just have to put some time into it and get the hang of it.
Anyway, back to the point, on my Laptop (my personal companion) I have a dual boot installation of Kubuntu 7.10 and Windows XP running, Kubuntu mainly for development and XP for leisure (aka. gaming).
One of the things I love about Windows though, is that it is so damn easy to customize explorer to your needs, I found a post on deviantart today.. which had some really interesting references to explorer addons in it, I gave it a try and well.. you can see the result in the attached screenshot! I guess I’ll be spending a few more hours than usual on XP today ^_^
(for those who need a new set of glasses; the addons, plugins, extensions.. call it what you like.. are: FindeXer, QTTabbar, QTAddressBar)

Little update on the development of Divia-CMS, I’ve just finnished two quite unique features, that’s to say, I’m sure there are other systems out there that feature similar features, but I doubt they’re anything like these.
The first feature is the Log Viewer, I’ve been planning this for ages.. what this basically does is allow you to track website the website logs in realtime, and you can easily filter the results by modifying the MySQL query, keep in mind though, that the CMS is meant for developers, I will increase the friendly-ness of the log viewer, but someone who doesnt know much about PHP/MySQL probably doesn’t wanna see the log viewer anyway.
The other feature is at the moment only able to create mail forms, but it is planned to make any type of form, currently you can easily create a mail form processor, meaning that you define all fields, what’s required and what fields need to be validated, and then make a HTML form with the same form fields that you’ve defined in the Form Manager, you’ll be able to generate the HTML forms from the CMS or create them manually, all the form manager does is basically manage the forms and process them when someone submits them.
You can see a real live demo of the frontend on the Divia-CMS site, here.
That’s it for now, I’ll be working further on both features for sure, I’ve got big plans!

Well I had the plugin ready about 2 weeks ago, but I had to take my time and prepare it for release, tonight I took the time.
This version has the following changes;
- Sorted visitors into groups: Members, Commentators, Guests and Bots
- Added onclick event to visitor names, upon click a hoverbox will appear with all the users info in it and a button to easily copy it
- Added an option to the configuration page to modify the bot list
- Added a link to the overview page to add a visitor agent to the botlist
- Modified some things here and there, only minor.
- Fixed MySQL error upon installation for some users
- Fixed various other bugs
To update your current version just replace the file in your plugins folder.
If you experience any problems feel free to ask for support on the support page.
If you need the old version for whatever reason, get it here.

Some time ago I made a little “manual” on PHP for my wife, because she kept on asking me for help on her sites and I was growing sick of it, I figured if I could get her to understand the basics of PHP, maybe I wouldn’t have to get up and help her every 5 minutes, well.. I still have to help her, and I doubt she’s going to take a look at the “manual” any time soon, but I thought I’d share it with the web, maybe someone else can put it to good use.
Click here to check out the PHP Manual (for lack of a better word..)
Note that this is not a walkthrough or anything like it, like it explains on the first page it’s a couple of pages that show you how it’s done, and from there you can draw your own conclusions, that’s how I learned PHP, that’s how I learned the basics of Python and that’s how I’m now learning a bit of C#, in my opinion it’s the best way.
On a side note, I have discontinued the development of the MyStats Wordpress plugin, as it has hardly any downloads and I have my doubts about it’s overall functionality (besides I’m busy enough as it is).
Wow.. I’m speechless..
