We’re Going Through Changes…

Bad musical puns aside, you may notice a few changes on the site. I decided to remove the Twitter and Last.fm widgets from the sidebar as part of an effort to speed up the site. Also, because I implemented WP Super Cache at the same time dynamic content doesn’t do too well. It is possible to set the cache to expire each time the sidebar changes, but given that I use Last.fm and Twitter a lot it rather negates the point of caching!

Don’t despair though, you can still keep tabs on my digital life via my new Tumblelog page! The page is generated every 15 minutes from my feeds, currently del.icio.us, Twitter and Last.fm, mashed together by the WP SimpleLife plugin (hat tip: Kieran Delaney). I’ve made some tweaks to the plugin to better suit my needs, watch this space for a published version when I’m happy.

PS: Wordpress 2.5, 3 hours to go and 374 tickets still active! It might be a close one :-)

WordPress Auto Save Woes

It seems like there’s a real problem with the auto save function on WordPress at the moment, if you let the auto save kick in before pressing ‘Save’ or ‘Publish’ then all your musings are lost. Unfortunately for me I only found this out after spending about 20 mins writing a post :-(

It seems to be ok if you hit ‘Save’ before the first auto save hits, you’ve got about 2 minutes as far as I can tell. So the moral of this story is get in there first and press ‘Save’ yourself! Or you could always resort to offline authoring instead…

Hopefully this’ll be fixed in 2.5, I’ve seen at least 10 threads on WordPress.org complaining about it, so it seems to be quite a common problem. Roll on the 10th of March!
