Today I’m so pleased to announce the release of Social Sketches, my hand-drawn icon set exclusively done for Six Revisions. Initially it was made for Referrer Detector on my just-started sketch project The Daily Faces, but then I decided to make it available for public use, hence the featuring on Six Revisions yesterday. Here is [...]

Right after Free CDN was released, I got a request to enhance the plugin to support commercial Content Delivery Networks - you know, those big guys like Akamai, Limelight, EdgeCast, Velocix etc. The implementation is not too complicated: specify an origin host, and rewrite it into a destination host. That origin is of course usually [...]

Office life has its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it keeps me so exhausted and leaves me so little free time for other hobbies - I’m talking about my books, my December Flower guitar self-training, my photographic stuffs etc. On the other hand, it does improve my knowledge and skills with all those working [...]

On May 12 I managed to release the latest major version of Referrer Detector. As it was a complete rewritten, bugs are not a doubt expected. Since then, there has been 5 newer versions: 4.0.1 - A hot fix to for allow_call_time_pass_reference problem. As for version 5, PHP passes function parameters by reference by default, [...]

Finally I’ve made it! Referrer Detector version 4.0 is now out! I decided to mark this as a major version increment because of these reasons: The code has been COMPLETELY re-written from scratch.

Just in case you don’t know - I’m pretty sure you do though - a WordPress-powered website is very limited in any terms without plugins. Or you can tell, a WordPress site that doesn’t use any plugin is just useless. Plugins bring your site uncountable and invaluable enhancements. Well, enough of babbling. What I wanted [...]

You know, I’m a die-hard fan of CodeIgniter. Among a lot of PHP frameworks out there, I prefer CI over Zend, Cake, Symfony etc. because of its speed, efficiency, and most importantly, simplicity. Just download it, unzip into a folder, and call it done. To me, a framework that costs me more than 10 minutes [...]

Firstly, I’d like to show off a bit: hey I’ve caught up with the crowd, now both of my sites (this one and Thica.net) are upgraded to WordPress 2.7 - well, let’s hope that it is not prone to new vulnerabilities. The most significant change is the admin section - for the first time in [...]

Hi everyone! It’s been a while… yes I know I’m feeding up your ears (or eyes) with this same old same old greeting, but I’ve never been a good speaker. So it’s been a while, and I’m writing another small plugin for personal purpose. Remember, I have another site dedicated to Vietnamese poetry? Well, I’m [...]

As said yesterday, I’ve managed to update my Referrer Detector plugin to its second major release. During the last week, it was soooo great to see that despite of all the bugs and limitations, my plugin has been warmly welcomed. And never in my (blogging) life have I had to moderate that many of comments. [...]
