Bundles are application enhancements/plugins for the famous OS X text editor TextMate. They allow you to execute macros, paste code snippets and other complex tasks.

Circle Six Design developed a WordPress Bundle for TextMate, which adds common WordPress code structures to the snippets menu of TextMate. An absolute must-have for everyone who writes WordPress plugins or themes using TextMate.

This plugin syndicates all kinds of stories from digg.com and lists them in your blog.
Various options allow you to fetch stories from specific users, friends, topics, the digg search, and the Popular/Upcoming sections of digg.

I finally uploaded my new blog theme which I was working on the last couple of days. I’ve called it Gloss and Stripes — it’s obvious why. The design now matches the Corporate Identity of freshlabs while still allowing a few modifications in style. The recent theme was more an experiment with a retro color palette — the complete opposite of what the name freshlabs should actually imply, hence this update.

The next days I will finish the changes in detail and give the archives-section a general cleanup — plus adding a list of all recent WordPress themes (Looking forward to release another public theme of maybe one or two of them soon).

Until then…I hope you like the new, more fresh design and that it makes it more comfortable for you to browse this site.

WordPress TuneUp 2.0.3 fixes several bugs in WordPress 2.0.3. Such as the annoying confirmation messages when editing comments and links in the admin menu.

(Those messages ask “Are you sure you want to do this?” and provide two submit buttons on a white, blank page). Furthermore edited comments aren’t messed up with escaping backslashes (”\”) anymore.

Currently available as a plugin at Tempus Fugit, the changes are hopefully in the SVN already. Thanks anyway for this bugfixin’ plugin. Those bugs really were annoying.

Update: WordPress 2.0.4 ist out which also fixes these errors. But wait! There is still such an ugly dialog left when editing categories.

There is now a rating system included at the bottom of every post. With that option you can give a one-click feedback about how much you liked a post or if an article was worth the read.

The new option is realised with the help of WP-PostRatings, a WordPress plugin coded by Lester Chan (There are a lot of nice, useful plugins on his site by the way).

Update: The post-rating function in this blog is discarded for now.
