Google Summer of Code: Wordpress is now an official GSoC open-source project, so any university student can apply to make over $4,000 tinkering with it for the summer. Sounds simply grand. -
European Gold Finch: After seeing the large yellow banner displayed across the top of Michael Scofield’s PDA, I’m sure at least some people went to check this place out. After a few minutes of scanning it becomes clear that it’s a very elaborate, but fake, forum. Reading anything but the bottom-most post will surely result in excruciating boredom. -
Monolingual: Although your iTunes music collection most likely breaks the tens of gigabytes, you can still save a nice pinch of hard drive space by removing all but your native tounge from the localization files embedded in every application. I personally saved a cool 2.2GB. - Dwarf Complete: Everyone’s been waiting for a while for the next Eyezmaze game, and it turns out On’s been working on a project for a different company. Don’t worry about compromised quality, however, as this cartoony labyrinth game will leave you scratching your head for 4+ hours the first time through.
- #summer-discuss: I’m not entirely sure where the GSoC channel was located last time; it might have been on Freenode. In anycase, your Q&A can get done here.
-
Plugin directory: One word: finally. Wordpress.org has finally created a repository for plugins that can actually be indexed and linked-to. I mean, sure, wp-plugins.net was there, but it was pretty bad. -
RandomJunk: This is from a guy over at #freenode-social. Apparently it caters to various philosophies, but you’ll just have to read into it.
