Below is a copy of an email I sent to Wordpress Pro mailing list addressing the dynamic between information stored in a wiki and knowledge spurred on by conversations in a forum. In it I make recommendations as to why and how to link the two assuming that the community won’t shift to a pure […]
I know Charles is really busy, so I’ve set up a wiki for Feedwordpress at http://feedwordpress.pbwiki.com/ ; it would be better if Charles put a wiki for Feedwordpress at radgeek.com, but until he does, at least people who need to use his software can collaborate with one another.
Wordpress 2.0 introduced a mechanism for programmers and plugin authors to schedule programmatic tasks to be run at designated times in the future. Glenn Slaven in his article Timing Is Everything does a great job of describing how this works. (Sadly, Wordpress’s convention is that people write Wordpress documentation to their blogs rather than contributing […]
You may have noticed yesterday this site’s not displaying the background. This post is in two halves: 1) implications for typical users of Zoundry and Wordpress, and after the (more…) 2) My notes to investigate why this happened. The latter half of this post is more technical.

Blogging is a high touch, low cost way of developing contacts and maintaining networks. Does it change the nature of sales? I think so. I think it alters the norm from transactional to relationship based.

I tap away at this blogging malarky for many reasons but, as in everything, I strive to improve.
So, I was looking to augment the technology powering this blog, with a means to gather quick feedback. ds-rating-plugin is a candidate: it provides the means to allow readers to star-rate postings.
Ideally I’d have it provide ratings along […]
In his post, The relevance of knowledge management today, says about Knowledge Management:
The terminology and tools have substantially moved on, yet the fundamental problems are not new. As such, the wheel does not need to be reinvented, and those who have been in the knowledge management space can apply their expertise with enormous relevance.

This morning I quickly hacked together a widget for wordpress to have it display the CanadianTechMob jscript badge. I did this so I can keep my wpmu installation clean of random edits to a particular theme’s sidebar HTML.
The code is largely a rip off of phtechnorati.php Version: 1.0 by Philipp Heinze, PhSoftware
Attached is the code: […]
Question to DrDave, inventor of http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/
DrDave: I recently moved my wpmu installation between hosts. In doing so I inadvertantly went from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4.
That then caused problems about autoincrement flags on the sk2 tables… so I deleted all the sk2 tables reasoning that if the tables were missing then sk2 would recreate […]
Wordpress mu has some stupid defaults that means admins have to hack some core files.
I just submitted http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/109#comment:6
That gives the admin the ability to override the default links that appear in the blogroll.
Hopefully it will make the next release.
