Filling Up the Break

I’ll be focusing on Plank until the holidays, but I’m already finding myself filling up my wish list for what I want to tackle during the break. Family first, but there’s always a few hours of the day (err, night) to geek it out.

So far, here’s what I have down. Posting it here will give me a push to get it done. :-)

  • New features for WPhone: Viper007Bond, Doug and I are in planning stage for a few nice features we’re trying to deck the upcoming 1.5 version with.
  • Setting myself up with an OpenLDAP sandbox for wpDirAuth: when I left McGill, I also left behind the AD install that was providing me with a testbed for my WordPress/LDAP authentication plugin. I don’t mind flying blind with the code, but it’ll help with support.
  • Write an app with Symfony: I have a small toy project I want to get to, and I’m planning on using this PHP5 framework as a RAD environment.
  • And a few floaters that I haven’t quite officially added to the list yet, like upgrading my site’s theme visually and with data portability in mind, etc.

Bah, with three kids, it’s not like it was going to be a relaxing vacation anyway.
Might as well just add to the fun. ;-)

Release: WPhone 1.4.0: “Tada!” Edition

We were planning on releasing a WPhone 1.3.2 tonight. Then we figured the new Plugin Management feature and some of the backend improvements called for a 1.4.0 release instead.

Moving forward is fun!

On a related note, I though the following was just brilliant: We got our first confirmed post from a BlackBerry. What’s so interesting about this? Well, Sergio, the author, embarked on a 4×4 expedition to Morocco (and its desert) last Friday, and will be using WPhone to blog for his family and friends back home.

Thanks a lot of for your quick support. I want to post for my family and friends in my recent blog http://www.sergiorico.com with my blackberry traveling into Morocco (from this friday)… probably nothing is going to work… least wphone!! Great extension!!

Lucky him.
