The version 1.0 Beta WordPress Versioning Plugin has been released.
I will be cleaning up the code, layout and documention a bit and releasing version 1.0 in a week or so.
If you see anything that looks like a bug or the documentation needs corrected, please let me know.
Firefox 1.0.3 has been released. Check out the release notes for specifics.
As always, it’s suggested that you uninstall your current Firefox version before installing the new version. Your settings are stored outside of the Firefox directory by default, so you shouldn’t lose anything.

Can Stock Photo offers stock image downloads ranging from $1.00 - $2.00 and the photographers get the total minus $0.65, both of which are a great deal compared to other similar sites out there. They also have a free download and give users credit for referrals.
This one is definitely worth a look.
Nvu 1.0 preview release is now available.
“Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a “new view”) is a complete Web Authoring System that combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web page editing.”
Nvu is similar to FrontPage and Dreamweaver, but is open source (free software) and runs on Windows, Mac & Linux. From my brief look I’d say there is some room for improvement (as with every software package) and this has some decent potential as a WYSIWYG editor.
For the past few years I’ve been scouring the net looking for a good, open source, PHP based shopping cart. I never really found everything I wanted so I just settled with hacking away at osCommerce and Zen Cart.
Functionality wise (user end), these two packages are pretty decent, but for my needs the code layout is horrid. Zen Cart allows you to template your site to some extent, but it’s not very easy or intuitive. And this frustrates me since it doesn’t have to be that way.
Since I can’t seem to find the features I want anywhere, I’m considering starting a SourceForge project…that is if I can get a handful of other people together who are committed to getting this off of the ground. If you’re interested, let me know.
For a decent shopping cart, here’s my wish list, in no particular order:
However, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel…I plan on taking a look at the components of other GPL packages and using what I can.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, fire away.
