You like to have a gravatar close to each comment of your blog but… what about an icon near your pingbacks/trackbacks? The solution is: use the favatars plugin.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t install on WordPress 2.5.x, so I’ve just opened a ticket (with a patch) that fixes this problem and that speeds up its one-time favatising SQL query (making it loops over pingbacks/trackbacks only).
It seems that its author doesn’t maintain it anymore so I’ve just put here the modified version of it (with my patch applied).

I’m not a fan of safe_mode and open_basedir (even before talking to Zeev Suraski when I learnt that it will be removed in PHP 6). Surprisingly, sometimes an easy to find set of safe_mode related bugs, viewed by thousands of eyes, survives for ages. I’ve just sent this trivial patch for the upcoming Joomla 1.5.

I’ve just started using this “Where did they go” plugin for WordPress: it works but I’ve written a simple patch for it as previously described here.

Reading the referers of this website, I found that someone reached it querying a search engine for
Perassi Bash patch talker
I suppose they were trying to reach my old bup patch (it modifies the shell to send all user keystrokes via UDP over the network for collection by a sniffer or a syslogd server). bup gave me a place on the FSF/UNESCO Free Software Directory. The whole story of this patch is available here… and no, this is not a tale that grows in the telling.

This is a reminder for me and a note for you: when you need to split a patch in many files, patchutils can help. A simple way to use it is:
splitdiff -a -d file_name.patch
Its -d option “creates file names such as a_b.c for a patch that modifies a/b.c”… why doesn’t it create files like a_b.c.{diff, patch}? It is useful, though.

I’ve just started using this ToDo plugin for Wordpress: it works but I found and fixed some little problems in the (X)HTML it generates. I left here the patch I made against its trunk.

Once again an easy to fix bug viewed by thousands of eyes has survived for ages. Today I sent this patch to Joomla forge to fix another bug in administrator/components/com_media/admin.media.php.
