In case you'd like to know more about me, there's a pretty good interview of me over at Single Function. I say "pretty good" because I like how interviews there are done, mixing up personal aspects with more focused and technical ones. Go read!

@Splitweet: You’re My Favorite Twitter Client
Recently, I've been using Twitter more and more. I recently launched a tiny web service and decided to use Twitter as a "marketing" platform (maybe I'll blog about this later) so I really needed a way to switch easily between multiple Twitter accounts and identity. The best twitter client I've found yet is Splitweet, a free web-based Twitter multi account…
Admin Drop Down Menu: Now Fully uneM nwoD porD nimdA
OK, let's step down a bit from Twitter for a while. This is a much overdue update to the übercòól Admin Drop Down Menu. Aside from minor tweaks related to the upcoming WordPress 2.8, more languages than ever (German being the latest addition), the plugin is now fully RTL friendly (hence the so witty post title) I'm warmly thanking a…

Check the full description with screenshots on @ArtemR's…

SingleFunction, Showcasing Monotask Sites
I've recently stumbled upon SingleFunction, a site showcasing sites with one function and one purpose. The site shows a gallery of refreshing web services: most of the time, their designs are clean and uncluttered, their functions are simple, either fun and pointless or with a real use. As a bonus, SingleFunction is also powered by an interesting WordPress theme. Definitely…
Pixel Perfect Background Photoshop Template for Twitter
One of Twitter's cool features is that you can really customize your profile, in particular with any background you want. Doing this, you are soon facing a design constraint: Twitter is a fixed width centered column, and your background image will be aligned from the top left corner. So despite all your artistic efforts, your background might just look dull…
Ebook: Writing Secure WordPress Plugins
Best practices when it comes to writing plugins is a frequently asked question on the wp-hackers mailing list. Good news: Mark Jaquith, one of the WordPress core developers, has an ebook planned: Too many WordPress plugins have security issues. Solution: I'm writing a short e-book on how to write secure WordPress plugins. I'll buy.
