PressTrends has released a rather fascinating plugin for WordPress blogs. The plugin will allow you to measure various metrics for your posts, comments, and plugin usage, and compare these to averages across the entire PressTrends community. The feature list may be just a bit basic now, but there are more features on the way, the design is very clean-cut, and if you’re interested to see how you’re doing versus “the status quo,” this is definitely the way to do it.

One of the nicer things about developing on the Ruby platform is the sheer amount of meticulously categorized, highly reusable code wrapped up as aptly named ‘gems’. I’m sure you’ve heard of popular frameworks like Sinatra or the super popular Rails but you’re missing an entire spectrum of gems that handle issues at a much lower level. Start using these and watch your productivity shoot through the roof! A Quick Note I’m well aware that some of the gems listed here have Rails, or parts of Rails, as a dependency.

Usually it’s pretty easy to spot one of those crafty phishing emails, just hover over any links before clicking to view the real URL in the status bar. You know, the link says something like, “click here to restore your PayPal account,” but you know that’s garbage and could easily prove it by checking the actual link URL, which is usually something completely bonkers, like: http://luqomu-qiry .

CoffeeScript is a programming language that transcompiles to JavaScript. The language adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python and Haskell to enhance JavaScript’s brevity and readability, as well as adding more sophisticated features like array comprehension and pattern matching. CoffeeScript compiles predictably to JavaScript and programs can be written with less code (typically 1/3 fewer lines) with no effect on runtime performance.

Nothing hard here: simply paste the following code where you need to execute a custom query to the database. Don’t forget to update the query on line 5! <?php // Get any existing copy of our transient data if ( false === ( $special_query_results = get_transient( 'special_query_results' ) ) ) { // It wasn't there, so regenerate the data and save the transient $special_query_results = new WP_Query( 'cat=5&order=random&tag=tech&post_meta_key=thumbnail' ); set_transient( 'special_query_results', $special_query_results ); } // Use the data like you would have normally… ?> This code is using WordPress Transients API.
