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 [...]

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. As of the previous versions, it was one big file that handled everything from admin to front-end control. Needless to say how [...]

I’ve been using WP-DBManager for quite a while now, and in short it’s a very good - if not the best - WordPress plugin to help you manage your database - with just one click, you can backup, restore, repair, optimize, and do other tasks.

White Shadow has recently compiled a list of top 1000 WordPress plugin authors based on number of downloads. There are 2190 authors in total, and I rank at 843th position with 1328 downloads on 3 plugins. Not very impressive right?

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. [...]

Woa… again, it’s been a long time since the first released day of my WordPress plugin Referrer Detector: 3 days! To stop you from laughing at that long long 3 days, I would like to notice that in our Internet, time is measure in microseconds. So, it’s been 3*24*60*60*1000,000 = 259 200 000 000 microseconds, [...]
