  • WordPress spell check fix

    Barry of Clearskys.net has found a fix for the spellcheck error. It was a problem with the headers sent by the script. Commenting the encoding header did the trick

    //header('Content-Encoding: UTF-8');

    the header is in the file rpc.php which is in wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/spellcheck

  • pyTwit

    I’ve decided to call my Twitter app pyTwit. I’ve searched the Twitter Fan Wiki list of apps and there doesn’t seem to be a pyTwit yet so I’ve decided to claim the name (hey it rhymes!)

    Anyways, I did a version 0.1.1 which was basically adding the functionality for posting tweets but I’ve also added many more features (like displaying multiple timelines and a command system for using the different features) and redesigned the code structure so I’ve decided to call this one version 0.2

    You can check it out here. I’ve also included a compiled Windows executable in the archive for those who are unfortunate enough to be running using Microsuck Windows…me included :(
