Earlier I was working with the Get My Tweets Plugin and found a bug in the URL parsing scheme I used to parse URLs in Tweets. I am working on rewriting this portion of the code, and will release an update to the plugin as soon as it has been tested and is available.

Get My Tweets WP Plugin Released
Monday, December 22nd, 2008
I have officially created my first WordPress plugin and widget, Get My Tweets.
While there are other plugins that do similar things, display your recent tweets on your WordPress powered blog, this one makes special use of PHP 5 and the XMLReader extension. So in other words if your hosting provider does not meet those requirements, you will not be able to use the plugin.
There are only two options for the plugin, Twitter user name and numer of tweets to retrieve. The user name supplied must be set to have the time line be public in order for the plugin to parse the xml file from Twitter.
If you have any comments, suggestions or trouble, leave a comment.

WordPress Upgrade
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008Also, as part of the new server going live, I have performed an upgrade to WordPress 2.7.
Just a note, I really like the new admin interface much better than the previous versions, runs smooth to in my particular installation situation.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Just upgraded to WP 2.6.2 – everything seems to be working good at this point.
HTTPD processes update
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Last night after posting the previous post, I noticed that the httpd processes till consumed resources, but not near as much as before. This leads me to believe that the RPC ping process that is controlled via PHP scripting is somehow spawning the child httpd processes that are causing the slow downs on the server.
As I have said, I am not too worried about it at this point, because I will be delivering the new server sometime in the next two weeks, so I won’t have to worry about it after that.
