A WordPress plugin that actually does what it advertises? Sign me up for Dean Lee’s Permalinks Migration Plugin, which properly 301 redirects your old permalink (example.com/year/month/day/postname) structure after it’s been updated. (I’ve swapped this site to use just a jakebillo.com/postname structure, so consider this my seal of approval.)
Penny-Arcade has a delightful comic about people who overuse Twitter, the service that has essentially replaced the LiveJournal-style “and then I ate some fish, and it was good” missives. Now, instead of just being angsty to your closest friends, you can be angsty AND deliver your every bowel movement to the Internet.
After reading today’s xkcd I actually laughed out loud at work - which was surprising because the comic had been rather lame until the last frame. Gotta love Python - the language that takes everything and still manages to spit out functional programs. Too bad the lead up was weak.
Hit the link for the full comic.
