I’ve been getting into the whole google+ lark since it launched, so I took a little busman’s holiday from programming my twitter management application yesterday to whip together google+ developers.

I had been using a php script to take stories from my RSS feed, shorten then with the bit.ly URL shortener [...]

Yonda is a theme for Hotaru which emulates the look of popular bookmarking site reddit.com This version fixes a bug that some users have reported that caused problems when replying to comments or editing comments.

Just a very quick post to let you all know that I’ve just released another quick bug fix for the Facebook Open Graph Hotaru plugin, this one was stopping the comments .css file (specified in the plugin settings panel) from being loaded correctly from the specified place. In fact, it was being loaded from my [...]
