Upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 and Mail.app keeps crashing / hanging

December 16th, 2008  |  Published in Mac  |  Comments

After restarting Mail.app many times I tried disabling all my Mail.app plugins (*simply rename the /Users/yourusername/Library/Mail/Bundles to something else*). After disabling them one by one I figured out it was [GPGMail](GPGMail).

Just throwing this out there in cash anyone else experiences this problem.

**UPDATE**: An updated version of [GPGMail has been released](http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html).

Wordpress Notifier Now Compatible with Bad Behaviour

December 14th, 2008  |  Published in Wordpress Notifier  |  Comments

I have just released [Wordpress Notifier](http://www.wpnotifier.com) 0.4. It fixes a problem with incompatibility with the Bad Behavior plugin.

Wordpress Notifier was doing nothing wrong. It is just that Bad Behavior is very aggressive in blocking web clients. Any web client with “Wordpress” in its user agent name is blocked. I had to change the user agent to “wpnotifier” instead of “Wordpress Notifier”.

A bit thanks goes to [Mathew](http://mathewwithonet.com/) for identifying the problem and helping me debug it.

Well, yes, it had been released before in anticipation of the original release date, but today is the day I am celebrating shipping it. [Wordpress 2.7](http://wordpress.org/development/2008/12/coltrane/) is out and for all those who do not use the development versions (99.999% of you), [Wordpress Notifier](http://www.wpnotifier.com/) now works!

Please leave me any feedback.

I have already had an offer to translate it into French. If anyone want to translate it into another language please contact me.

Wordpress Quick Reply Template Plugin

December 5th, 2008  |  Published in Wordpress, Wordpress Plugins  |  Comments

The quick reply feature introduced in Wordpress 2.7 is great but it lacks the ability to set the default test of a reply.

This plugin allows you to automatically set the text of a comment reply. For example if your reply template is:

%FIRST_NAME%,

and the comment authors name is:

Paul William

Then the default text in a reply would be:

Paul,

It is that simple.

This simple Wordpress plugin allows you to embed a [GitHub Gist](http://gist.github.com/) by inserting a shortcode into your post or page instead of entering HTML.
