WP-dTree WordPress PlugIn Notes

This plugin can generate navigation trees for your posts, pages, links and categories.

A Note on using this:  I tried it with this site and there is a noticable time lag introduced by its use.  That is because I have alot of posts and alot of catagories.  As of yet I do not have all my posts in catagories.  This delay would be bound to go way up.  Thus I can not use it on the front page.  I will try it on a dedicated page as it is pretty good for finding things quickly.

I do not believe in you-Eu nao acredito em voce – Vinny

Eu abro todas as janelas da casa
Eu deixo o sol iluminar o caminho
Eu deixo a lua fazer sombra na sala
E o vento bagunçar meu destino

Eu vejo o teu fantasma dentro do quarto
Acendo a luz pra que você vá embora
Te exorciso enquanto eu calço os sapatos
Vou sair e te tirar da memória

Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way
Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way

Eu perco o sono mas não perco o juízo
Eu me mudei pro andar mais alto do mundo
Eu posso ver toda cidade lá fora
Aqui dentro eu mudo sempre de assunto

Eu pendurei os quadros pela parede
Nada que lembre o teu sorriso absurdo
Mas quando eu vejo o teu olhar nos meus sonhos
Eu me encontro e me esqueço de tudo

Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way (4x)

Viewing Chinese Japanese Korean Webpages when using Windows

Since I have installed the global translator plugin I want to be able to view the chinese entries rendered it would normally meant to be seen. To do this I need to enable the rendering of the character set.  This is my webpage where I note the various things I find.  No working solution yet! 

Viewing Chinese Webpages when using OS= Windows with Windows Explorer

Both of the major browsers can support Chinese without any other programs. All you need is the right font, and there are many good free fonts you can download. The best method is to download Microsoft's language packs and input methods for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs)  – This pack is "free" if you have a qualifying microsoft office product.

Berry Yogurt Delight Shake Whip Smoothie

I am a single man and I eat like it.  I need easy to make recipes.  This one is fantastic especially after a run.

  • Measure out frozen fruit berry meddly into a tall glass – about 1.5 cups worth
  • Draw an amount of water on top of the fruit till the level is a little above the fruit – let this sit while you are grabbing a container of yogurt out of the fridge
  • Add a single portion container of fruit flavored yogurt to your blender – my fav is blueberry
  • pour the water / fruit into the blender
  • Add a banana if you want – ( try it both ways ! )

Whip up the mixture as little as possible.  The seeds in the raspberries get broken you'll have a seedy concoction.  I blend it very little and use minimum speed settings.

Just had one of these after a 2.5 mile run while I am sitting breathing oxygen from my oxygen concentrator.  Oooh baby.  This is good.

BTW: You will find that your bowel movements the next day are more healthy.  I know TMI but its true.

Hat Tip to Eric who turned me on to the recipe.

I found another math rendering plugin refered to here: http://www.illigal.uiuc.edu/web/kumara/2007/04/10/latex-math-plugin-for-wordpress/

It is based on LaTeX.

Note To Self:  Kumara Sastry  appears to be an interesting an talented person.  He studies in the area of genetic algorithms.  An idea I have is to study talented people and make a blog and the subsequently a company based around these people. 

Easy LaTeX – author interesting blog to punch around also

How to write a wordpress plugin

I will be summarizing for myself on this page how to write a WordPress plugin.

My initial search on Google

WordPress PlugIn Skeleton Generator

Fun with Plugins makes some assumptions about file names and paths to resources.

It is assumes that your plugin file is located at: YOURBLOG/wp-content/plugins/wp_emarket/wp_emarket.php

It is assumes that your external Javascript file is located at: YOURBLOG/wp-content/plugins/wp_emarket/js/script.js

A Sample functioning Plugin that appears very simple

WordPress User Geo Location by IP Address Map Generation

http://blog.vimagic.de/ip-city-cluster-wordpress-plugin/

This plugin requires a statistics plugin to remember all the IP addresses.  The plugin maps the geo locations associated with this.

  1. Need to have a statistics plugin that remembers all the user IP addresses.   During configuration of the plugin you specify the database table and field name.   See screen shot below.
  2. The MaxMinds geo ip data base is here: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity   You can import either binary or CSV list to your database.  The binary is said to be much faster compared with CSV  which may take up to a few seconds. 
  3. For #2 I need to convert to SQL because my ISP does not allow CSV lists to be imported. ( at one time they did )
