Power Saving?

The Brightest BulbAccording to the corporate offices that oversee the retail copy center I work at, it is cheaper for us to leave our copiers in power save mode all night than it is to shut them off when we close the store.

Go figure.

PostBits 0.1.0 alpha

0

Fall semester is over.  I’ve been working on PostBits since my last exam, and I have a nifty little zip file to show for it.

I present PostBits 0.1.0 Alpha.  Please note the lack of positive digits in the version and the prominence of the word “Alpha.”  This plugin is not complete, and it probably has some bugs.  As it stands, it should be able to replace Cricket Moods, but do not run it on your live blog.

Things to note:

  • Does not import moods from Cricket Moods.  I will write a separate plugin to do that later.
  • The plugin seems to work with WP 2.6, but the interface is designed for 2.7.
  • Currently, only one category is available.  It has the ability to handle more, just not the interface to manage them.
  • There is no README—you’re on your own.

If you’d like to try it out and/or help help me ferret out any bugs, you can grab a zip file from the PostBits Google Code site.  If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please post them on the issue tracker.  Please don’t e-mail me or post any blog comments about bugs you find.
