Where this is going and YAPS discontinued

srcnix — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:00:50 +0000

The last few months have proved to be a tough time for myself. During the past few months I have finalised a divorce and clean break order, started a new position at an up and coming cloud service and moved into a new home. In turn, I haven’t had the chance to concentrate on YAPS. [...]

PHP class method injection without experimental functionality

srcnix — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 00:02:06 +0000

I was discussing with Pippin from PippinsPlugins about using his pretty cool, extremely light weight logging class for YAPS, by extending the core.

srcnix — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 14:04:46 +0000

YAPS (Yet Another Pluggable System)

srcnix — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:40:41 +0000

In September I spent some time looking over existing WordPress plugins, looking through the code (some of which are beautifully written), the functionality and the extensibility. I came to the conclusion that on a user interaction, socialisation fore-front there isn’t a great deal of plugins out there, at least, not any that I liked. The most well-known [...]
