Because I have a friend who is kicking off a new WordPress-powered blog (Hi, Substitute!), I thought I’d list the plugins I use here at Netninja.com. I have a whopping 32 of them, but many are simple single-purpose things that are likely not of general interest. My plugins can be be broken down into a … Continue reading My current WordPress plugins

XML in Google’s Chrome
The support for viewing XML returned from a server from within Chrome leaves a little to be desired. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer (and I hate to admit it, but my memory tells me that IE was the first to market with this feature) show XML in an easy-to-deal-with way. They format it with indenting, … Continue reading XML in Google’s Chrome
Forcing a fixed-in version with the Mantis bug tracker
At the office, we use Mantis, a powerful PHP-based bug tracking system. It offers some great control over process and workflow, but not quite the granularity that I need. Specifically, I work in an environment where it is vital that the “fixed-in” version is filled in when resolving an issue as “fixed.” Without this, there … Continue reading Forcing a fixed-in version with the Mantis bug tracker

Rick talks about temporarily bookmarking articles … Continue reading Bookmark Material
Google Chrome
Google’s new Chrome web browser looks quite promising. I set up a virtual machine running XP today to test it out. It turns out that it will not run on Win2K (my current virtual machine) and the XP install is from some expired MSDN disc or something and does not have a functional Genuine Windows … Continue reading Google Chrome
My Firefox Plugins
This is mainly for my own reference, although I figured the list could be beneficial to others. These are the plugins and Greasemonkey scripts I am using under Firefox. They’re also documented (and updated) at http://stackoverflow.org/wiki/My_Firefox_Plugin_Setup Adblock Plus @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take … Continue reading My Firefox Plugins
First Post!
Welcome to the inaugural post with the new blog setup! I have been meaning to redo netninja.com for about a year now. Because of stuff I made available there a long, long time ago and never got rid of (namely: BO and BO2K plugins), every web filter declares it to be a mean, bad, nasty, … Continue reading First Post!
